Are you in line?
In an impromptu decision, I stayed over in sch last night so this morning I was crawling my way back home from the West. And the story began when I was queueing up for the bus at PR Interchange. Believe it or not, it was that same place where I bumped into the homo looking man a few entries back.
For the ignoramus, the stone slabs at PR Interchange did not stretch throughout the bus queue line, so when I reached the queue, there were already a few people in front of me and for god knows what reason, they chose to stand right in front where there were no seats instead of sitting down at the slabs. Fine, their problem.
When I turned around, I caught sight of this young lady (early 20s) walking towards me in the queue. Quite cute if you ask me but I was too tired to care then. Just like the man in blue a few entries back, she chose to stand instead of sit on the slab. Fine, her problem.
And this was where the funny part began.
She then proceeded to ask me : "Hi, are you in line?"
Ermmmm... No no no, I just sat at the bus queue to wait for you to ask me this question. LIKE DUH. If I weren't, why the flying f would I be sitting down there like a loser?
I know some may say it's just basic courtesy on her part but wtheck, isn't it OBVIOUS enough? It's the same as asking me if I was all right after some random vehicle knocked me down while I was crossing the road to Clementi Intchg. Hello, I'm sprawled on the ground and you asked me if I'm all right?
But that's not the main point. After I gave her an affirmative reply, she asked me:
"Can I go in front?"
The distance between me and the person in front was at most 30 cm. There was nobody behind her at that point of time, so the reason that other people behind got no space to sit was invalid.
After another tired reply, she proceeded in front of me. It was then that I realised she touched her hair every 2 seconds or so. She's not only kiasu but narcissistic as well. Bad combi.
When the bus came, the guy in front of her was still leaning against the railing and she stood so near him machiam want to signal to him she's so going to cut his queue if he's going to take his own sweet time. The bus is not going anywhere (ok fine it IS going somewhere, but what I'm saying is the bus is not moving at that moment and she'd have ample time to board it and find a good seat), and even if she's rushing for time and she managed to get up the bus fast, there are still so many other people whom the bus driver would need to wait for what?
And so it all boils down to Kiasuism.
