Today, Im gonna blog about.....
MRT NUISANCES !!!
Im taking an average of 6 trips every week plus each trip is a rather long trip. To keep myself entertained, i people watch! I that find fellow communters are rather interesting creatures... Feel free to share ur experiences!
Case #1
The trip from clementi to raffles place is usually empty when i go home after classes. So i sat dwn at the nearest sit to the exit. I was planning to give my eyes a rest when i notice that the middle age woman sitting at my opposite is behaving oddly.
Odd fact #1. She was wearing an above knee lenght red overall coat only, which resembles a raincoat.
Odd fact #2. She was smiling to herself. At first i thought she was smiling at her hp or sumthing. Things got worse when she started giggling and smiling boardly into the empty space at the door as if someone was there. Which freaked me out a little
Odd fact #3. She bit her nails. Ok, nuthing unusual here unless i tell u that it looks to me that she is actually chewing her fingers? (No Joke!) Thereafter, she took out a nail clipper and started cutting her nails.
Odd fact #4. As she was sitting with her legs wide open, I noticed that an old uncle 2 seats away is staring intensively at the window reflection behind me. At first i though that old uncle was staring at me. Then i realise that cheeky old man is trying to catch gimsp of her underskirt. Wat the heck? I was so turn off.
Case #2
Another day on my way home to bishan station from raffles. Lucky to get a seat as there were little people at raffles. Anyway, this 2 rather big size women catch my attention. The bigger size woman was dressed in a teeny weeny tee, exposing her belly, and there were little holes on her tee near to her chest area.. She was stroking the hair of her female companion affectionately. But her fren didnt seem to be responding to her actions at all.
So when the train pulled in at my stop, I stood up, and as usual, aunties will fight to plant their butts down at any empty seat asap. Just when i was making my way towards the exit, the fatter girl started screaming at the other girl: "See lah! Tell u to be faster already! Now people sit already lah!" She screamed so loud, the whole cabin was staring at her. Her female companion seemed to be oblivious of what is happening and continue to pick her teeth? Lol. The fastest auntie who suceessfully snatched the seat was pretty paiseh and offered to give up the seat, but the 2 woman just ignored whateva she said. With that, i alighted.
Case #3
Another day on my way home after classes. I wasnt lucky to get a seat. So i stood leaning against the glass panel next to the exit. It was those new type of train which there is one less seat at each end of the bench.. Ur know what m i trying to describe? So anyways, because of the one less sit, the train's window was jus parallel nxt to me. As we all know, when the train is in the tunnel, we can all see our own reflection in the windows right? So anyway, this cheena youth was standing nxt to me, facing the window. She was by herself. She started irriating me when she went on and on and on making act cute poses in the reflection. I think anyone will feel damm irriated by that. It is as if im invisible.
Pls, this shld be done in private or to her ai ai only... Spare us the poor ppl who can only afford to take public transport.
Woo hoo. I think this is the longest post ever.
MRT Irriatants #1
People who have BO and is afaid that the MRT's motion will make them lose their balance. They normally tend to cling on the hand rails above our heads. Seriously, I think this type of ppl should be more wary and stop holding on to the horizontal hand rails up there with both of their hand raised up. YUCKSSSSSSSSSS.
MRT Irriatants #2
People hu sits on the floor. Usually school kids or pie kias. Seriously, is the air better down there??
MRT Irriatants #3
Kiasu aunties / uncles who cant give way for you to alight and rush in as if the train door is gonna slam on their butts.
MRT Irriatants #4
People hu read over your shoulders when you are reading newspaper / magazines. This is annoying.
And many many more.. Feel free to share your experiences (:
P.S. I hope that none of my readers are of any of the above.
