dragula

i cannot stand people who stand on the right side of escalators when you've been specifically told to keep left so that those in a hurry will not be held up. if you are a senior citizen or someone who doesn't understand english, i give you the benefit of the doubt. but sometimes it's the young generation of singaporeans who choose to stand on the right side. you fuckin stupid or what? now that is a rhetorical(thanks miss k) question. worse still, you and your partner start showing public display of affection on the escalator. if you have to so badly do it on moving stairs, please downgrade and go to staircases on hdb flats.

we've heard the "give way to alighting passengers first" like tan90 times but still, those kiasu singaporeans will stand right smack in the middle and obstruct your way out. you could choose to be polite and just say excuse me, or be like me, stick out your elbows or say hi using your shoulders. seriously what's wrong with all these people? why the rush? if you're tired and you badly want to sit then it's understandable but when the train's already crowded, what's the hurry about? we should fine all these people who do not give way.

why can't everyone just clear their own thrash after having a meal or drink? obviously you can't throw away coffeeshop mugs or plates or at places where there're no specific points to drop off your thrash but when it's a perishable item like a takeaway cup or your burger wrapper, i find that it's considerate if you would just throw it away so that the next person can just sit at the table and do whatever he wants immediately without having to wait for someone to clear it. everyone of us just has to do his part in order for this to work. just think of it this way; you'd prefer arriving at a clean table than a dirty one innit?

what's the point of having a top 20 university in the world when we're ranked bottom 10 in the list of 'most considerate citizens' in the world? it's your character that people judge you by, not your paper qualification. you carry yourself around, not that degree.

p.s. by the end of this entry 90% of the people who've read what's mentioned above will be feeling guilty for committing any one of those acts.

Jigsawfiq was my disciple, until he flaunt the power and became rude to people around him. And so, I sacked him and smack him real hard at the throat. That kinda explains his high-pitched/donald duck voice. Try not to laugh at him too much coz it'd hurt his ego a lot.

I don't clear my own food. I make my other jigsawers do it for me. I'm the man, you know?

Cheers dudes and dudettes,
Jigsaw
