My pet peeves have finally been realised;
I don't know it just seems that when you're in a very crowded area, your pet peeves magically appear out of nowhere. I mean really, you cannot imagine how many times I wanted to pull my hair out just to ease the frustration and the tingling urge in my fingers to hit something. I've never felt so violent. EVER. Okay maybe several times but I hate going to public places. I really do.
It's just the people you meet you know? It's unbearable. I hate it. HATE THEM. For instance,
1. People in IKEA who walk the wrong way. You know it IKEA there are designated directions you're supposed to follow. There are arrows on the floor leading the way. Big, fat, black arrows on the floor that even have a golden spotlight shining just on them so there is no possible way you can miss them.
Well there are still people who insist, INSIST, on going the other way. What are these people doing? Are you trying to show off your rebelliousness against the designation of paths? What is the matter with you people? And I can understand if a person needs to nip off back to a section so that they can put something back or check the price or something. But you don't have to bring your entire family of seven and the five trolleys you're bringing and stop abruptly, make a extravagant 180 degrees turn when people are walking behind you and tsk at people that are in your way. CONFORM PEOPLE, CONFORM. PLEASE. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, FOLLOW THE ARROW. IT WASN'T CHEAP TO MAKE YOU KNOW.
2. People who queue up for food and when the reach the front of the queue out of nowhere all these family members start piling in and making orders. HONESTLY. I really really really despise this kind of people. How can all of you just slide in like that? It's not fair.
There I was, starving like hell because I've been walking around all day. There was this lady that I initially took absolutely no notice of because she was just a person in front of me. I was really happy by the time I was third in queue. All of a sudden, she flipped out her handphone and said 'Ya, you can come already.' Out of nowhere, five people started sliding themselves in front of me and I couldn't do anything but glare. I glared as though that would be enough. That lady caught my eye and she gave a snotty glance as if daring me to speak my mind and looked away. I was flabbergasted. Unable to just keep quiet like a stupid pushover, I said in the most sweetest voice I could muster, 'I'm sorry, but the sign says queue that way,' while pointing at the back of the queue.
All six of them turned and looked at me and gave me such antagonistic glares it made me slightly regretful for saying what I did. But suddenly out of nowhere, this teenaged boy dressed in a blazer said 'Yeah, she's right. Just go to the back and queue. The chicken rice isn't going to run anywhere.' in a slight accent. I was so grateful for him speaking up and the people behind us agreed. Five of them reluctantly went back to the queue leaving the lady by herself. I gave her a sweet smile and turned back to say thank you to my saviour. He said No problem and winked at me. Thanks to people like him, Singapore is not such a kiasu place.
3. People that queue up to ask for free stuff like napkins or spoons. Okay these people aren't exactly bad but I would just like to bring them up because their actions are really redundant. I know that inside their hearts, the have good intentions by not wanting to just waltz over to the front of the counter and ask for a spoon but it's not that bad.
Especially during lunch at fast food outlets, these people are a common sight. They are willing to queue up for an unbelievably long time just to ask for napkins. Like just now at LJS. If you want to just get something from the counter this is what you should do,
a) Go to the front of the counter.
b) capture the attention of the server by politely saying 'excuse me.'
c) Quickly ask for whatever you want.
d) take it.
e) get out of there.
yeah.
so there are alot more that I have to endure but I'll talk about that another time.
I have to go eat rojak now.
God, I don't even like rojak.
what's wrong with me today?
moody bitch.

self-proclamation.
My life is not a fascination worth the scrutiny of those who watch over me. Yet, I live amongst thin air and sparkling personalities.
I am an avid fan of the KoreanPop scene. So bring me to the number thirteen.
read my lips.
they're watching.
