Just now I went to Bedok NTUC with my mother, and 2 incidents took place that really pissed me off.

1) Chopping of seats with 1/3 filled coffee.

We decided to have our early lunch at the hawker centre next to Bedok Bus Interchange and found an empty table with ONE cup of 1/3 filled coffee, so obviously you will think that whoever drank that has left already without finishing up the entire coffee. So I sat down while my mother went to buy the food. Then after about 2 minutes, suddenly 3 idiots (probably 3 uncles who are 50+ of age came seated around me at the same table, and one of them told me that the coffee belongs to him and this table belonged to them.

WTF RIGHT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!! I thought Singaporeans only "chopped" seats with tissue paper (One of the many unglam habits of Singaporeans). WHO ON EARTH ALSO CHOP SEAT WITH A 1/3 FILLED CUP OF COFFEE. Anyway, he ended off with a short and rude "Sorry arz", then I was so pissed off that I just quickly went to find another table.

2) Couples on the escalator holding hands and blocking the patheway.

At one of the escalators at Bedok MRT Station, there were 2 idiots holding hands standing side-by-side (the bitch was standing on the left, while the bastard was on the right blocking the pathway). So my mother was standing behind this woman, and I was standing behind my mother. Then while we were somewhere at the middle of the escalator, there was one man , probably in a rush, walking quickly up the escalator until he was standing next to my mother, cause that bastard was blocking his way.

Then I think the bitch could feel/hear that someone wanted to cross, so she turned behind and looked at the man, and then whisper something to his bastard partner. Then the bastard turned back to look at the man behind him, then he just returned his head to the front and ACTED AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. Both that bitch and bastard were just rooted at their exact position without giving way to the man behind. There were empty space in front of the couple, so that bastard could have stepped forward to be in front of that bitch to give way. Hence, the man has to wait until the end of the escalator before he could make a move, and those 2 farkers were walking as if there are the King and Queen of Bedok MRT Station. Farked up.

Probably I'm too used to the way Japanese behave in public places. (i.e. even during rush hour when train stations are jam-packed with people, 99.9999% of the Japanese will still keep to the left so that those who want to walk can proceed on the right side)

I guess I need to change my mindset and expectations of Singaporeans. How on earth can I expect Singaporeans to be at least 10% as gracious/civillised/courteous as Japanese. These behavious really give a "Uniquely Singapore" image. Good or bad, I don't know. But one thing for sure, I can't stand these unglam behavious of Singaporeans.
