Kids Have No Manners These Days! • 12.01.07
It must be my bad day. Or just my luck to bump into 2 idiots. No, wait. I can’t label them. I just had bad encounters, that’s all. Now, why did I encounter them? First, I was at NTUC with my mum and we were buying the food stuffs. While waiting, I got stuck in the tiny aisle and decided to look for my mum who said she was going to get a basket. I was looking after the trolley so, I wanted to push it.
However, there was this young boy who was in the middle of it and I said, “Excuse me,” politely, mind you. He stood to the side and shook his head at me as if I was the idiot who didn’t know how to phase through him. “Tsk tsk tsk” was all he said. Look, boy, I am not David Copperfield. I can’t do magic. Neither am I Criss Angel. So, you don’t “tsk” at me. Maybe I should have scolded him, “You were the ONE WHO BLOCKED THE PATH! HOW DARE YOU THINK I’M WRONG! 没家教!” Kids, these days, have no manners.
After that, I went to find my mum who was choosing the vegetables. While walking around the aisles, I encountered a mother who was pushing the trolley. I was looking at the milk and all she did was to push the trolley into me. Like I can phase through, yeah, I should really ask David Copperfield or some magician who knows such magic to teach me. She didn’t even mentioned “Sorry” or “Excuse me”. Her kid in the trolley won’t learn anything from her.
Thankfully, I didn’t meet any more such idiots rude people. The way home was laden with cat litter, rice, milk (8 packets of 1 litre, I think) and other food. The trolley, no, not those from NTUC, had a punctured wheel because it was laden with 60kg of weight. Poor trolley. May you rest in peace pieces.
