I HATE all the inconsiderate people of te world. Singaporeans are so not gracious. Fine. I'm generalising. But my daily experience taking the morning and evening transport services has not shown me otherwise as yet. So many of us are such bums when it comes to taking public transport.
1.) Pole Leaners
As far as I'm concerned, the function of the floor-to-ceiling metal poles in buses, mrts and other similar structures are for hand-grip purposes, to prevent unecessary accidents, such as falls, from occuring frequently in the mobile vehicles. Correct me if I'm wrong, but many of my fellow countrymen seem to have a different interpretation of the use of such poles. From what I observe, many seem to see each pole as an individualised height-measurement device for one to lean one's ful body-length on the entire pole to see how much of the pole one has covered. I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong in saying that Singaporeans are inconsiderate. They may just be so considerate that they are merely trying to use the entire length of cloth they don on their bodies to wipe away the fingerprints that passengers have left while holding onto the poles previously.Please,being in close contact with poles will not make you look like one. Leaning on the poles may cause unecessary accidents such as hair-pulling, when people are too polite to tell the pole leaner but just quietly hold on to an available space, at the same time, (un)intentionally grabbing a few strands of the leaner's hair together with the pole, causing all parties to be pissed. Whereas if you treat the pole with respect and use it the way it should functuon, maybe, say, five people can hold on to the pole at the same time and smile at each other during the journey instead of muttering and glaring behind the pole-leaner's back.

2.) MRT floor wipers
Yay! There's now an increase in manpower in SBS! They've hired people (volunteers, no less), to volunteer the butt of their jeans as cloth to wipe the floors of the MRT trains. Unfortunately, these volunteers, while kind enough to wipe away thedirt, shit, bubblegum etc ,which our footwear had been stained with previously and definitely left traces of on the floor, only stay put at the back doors of the MRTs. They don't move around the whole train and wipethe entire floor. Stupid people. Just stand up like everyone else instead of taking up 2 person's worth of floor space and keep your jeans clean(er) at the same time. SBS will NOT pay you for your floor-cleaning services.

3.) Rushing to get off the bus
Especially when the buses and trains are crowded, please wait till the vehicles stop before you push poeple out of the wayto get out at your stop. I dunno, maybe you haven't noticed, but whether you stand at the bus door, ready to get out 5 seconds earlier, or wait till the bus stops at your stop before you walk to the door, you still step out of the vehivle AT THE SAME TIME. If you poush the poor, packed people (who are probably getting off at the smae stop as you as well but are just more patient to wait till the bus stops before they deliberately alter other passenger's centre of gravity) before the bus stops, poeple lose their balance easily and may jolly well fall on each other like freaking dominoes. Buses and MRTs wiggle alot when they are inmotion. No such technoilogy has yet been invented for poeple to wear magnetic footwear on magnetic-floored buses and trains so that we remain stuck on the same spot no matter how the buses swerve and vibrate. Then we will be like Carrefour trolleys stuck oto the Carrefour travellators at Suntec City. Duh. Such technology will never be implemented on public transport, simply because it's not practical AT ALL. So you can stop practising for such an eventuality.

There are so many more. Liek once when this bus was full and I moved as far back as I could, which, unfortunately, was at the alighting door of the bus, this fifty-something year old man stood ready at the door (behind me coz i was blocking the door without choice) 10 seconds before he reached his stop. I was already prepared to step aside and let the alighters get off the bus as soon as the bus halted. But the stupid guy glared at me before the bus had stopped properly and on his way down had to add' "gei3 ren2 jia1 xia4 ma.!" What a bum. Throughout that entire journey from bedok interchange to my house (which is usually 7 minutes away) me and many other innocent passengers were jostled and well-trained for "Look Ma! No Hands!" (like we could really hold our balance perfectly without holding on to anything and weaving our way through to the back like, what, lavagirl, just to let those fifty-something people through). Thanks for the training. So many of us are now well-trained at balancing in case of a possible earthquake in Sunny Singapore.
