of lifts and doors
its been a while since i last dumped anything, was busy with work; happily(although tiring) chalking up the overtime hours. today would be the first day in 3weeks since i have had any time to rest.
travelling takes quite a chunk of time throughout the day for most people. be it your own car/bike, or taking the public transport, people often spend quite a considerable amount of their time throughout the day travelling from point to point. and for people taking public transport, it means being squeezed and packed like a can of sardines taking the bus or train. every morning and evening, people rush, oushm shove, squeeze, do anything and everything possible to jump the queue and get to the front of the line waiting to enter the door of the train or bus whenever it arrives. there is something that really puzzles me whenever i encounter such behaviour. evenings, i can understand; everyone's anxious to get home. but mornings? everyone says they hate their jobs, they dont like what they're doing, yet why the rush to get to work? even when its early in the morning, with little to no chance of being late, unless some freak incident like a fallen tree cutting off a major road happens.
cant people just stop being so pushy over such a simple matter? whether they're at the front or outside the queue, they'll get on the bus/train anyway most of the time. most of the time, the mad rush is due to them wanting to grab a seat and not stand for the journey. it would be understandable if the trip lasts a long time, but for 1 or 2 stops? you grab a seat, usually on the outside; near the walkway, leaving the window seat empty. another guy comes on and and motions to you he wants the seat. you move in so as to avoid having to smell the guy's bum. 1 stop later, your turn to alight. the guy has to make space for you to get out of the bus. or you grab a seat. the bus is crowded and when you have to alight, you have to squeeze your way to the alighting door. wouldnt it be more convenient for everyone if you had just stood somewhere closer to the exit when you boarded in the first place?
its the same with lifts. in my pissed off opinion, everyone who lives/works on the 2nd floor should be banned from taking lifts. unless they're severly disabled or old folks. to me, its like "what the fuck are you taking the bloody lift for when you get off the 2nd floor?!?!" its wasting everyone's time and why cant people take the bloody stairs? its only 1 floor, climbing 1 or 2 flight of stairs wont kill anyone. everytime someone gets into the lift and alights at the 2nd floor, i curse and swear at them, their ancestors, their families, and anyone who's related to them. its just bloody irritating. at the rate i'm going, i think i should have cursed at least a quarter of the population.
if this is the gracious or whatever fuckshit society the government wants to have, i'd say good luck to anyone who is too high up on their pedestal that they cant see the normal ordinary life below them...

We? Gracious society? Grace what??
Haha. Singaporeans besides like to complain, they like to choke at the door of the MRT. Don't want to let people alight and they just want to rush in like a horde.
Tell me, I must very non-Singaporean to let people to alight first.
Hmm
