**Disclaimer: This entry consists of MY thoughts and feelings. If you feel like you're someone or in one of the groups I'm talking about, well, too bad.**

I took 151 to school yesterday from Hougang Interchange. A couple boarded the bus at the same time as I. Taking the front seat where you have two rows facing each other, the guy happily stretched his legs onto the seat opposite him, slippers and all. He was happily rubbing his ditry (I imagine) slippers onto the seat, shaking his legs, talking with his girlfriend etc, completely oblivious to the stares fellow commuters were shooting him. When we reached the first stop and people started boarding the bus, he put his legs down. But upon seeing that no one else had taken the seat opposite him, he stretched out his legs again.

Below is a picture I took with my trusty K800i on the way to the first stop. Feel free to click it to enlarge.

Your mother never teach you manners ar?!
Or were you just too stupid to understand?

They fell asleep soon after, and the guy happily left his legs on the seat despite the bus getting more and more crowded with every stop. Only about an hour into the trip did he "wake up" and realise that hey, its quite crowded. Only then did he reluctantly remove his precious legs from the seat and let someone else take the seat.

I pity the uncle who sat down there, after that bastard rubbed his slippers all over the seat. I wish some heavy person had just sat down on his legs, breaking them. I'm not being evil lor. You're not even supposed to be putting your feet up on the seat opposite you. No bloody manners, don't know how to take bus. And his girlfriend, she just happily sat there, eating and talking and sleeping. Man, he even brought one of those travel pillows la. You think you own the bus? What makes you think that you're so precious that you have the right to put your feet up on the opposite seat?

People ought to get fined for hogging too many seats.

Look, its not like your arse is so big you need to take up two seats. Unless you're a freaking giant with an ass to match, yeah, by all means take up the space.

BUT NOT YOUR BAGS.

They are not human. They are not alive. They do not need to pay to be on the bus.

YOUR BAGS DO NOT NEED A SEAT OF THEIR OWN.

People like that inconsiderate bastard or those who put their bags on the seat beside them so no one else can take it. Please la, its not a kopitiam, not a hawker centre. You put bags on the seats in a kopitiam/hawker centre, I can understand. But its not like you're saving a seat for your friend in a bloody bus, right? Or what? You have like, your invisible friend sitting next to you so you put your bag there to prevent people from sitting on him/her ar?

Even those ah sohs shouldn't be spared.

Those 40-50 plus ah sohs.

Even ah mas and ah gongs are more considerate than them.

I usually take 80 to Hougang Interchange. And more often than not, there will always be at least one nicely dressed ah soh decked out in jeans, make up, mani/pedi, sunglasses and heels, sitting on one seat and her bag on another. Please la, you think you ah soh, you're entitled to two seats ar? You think you're so pretty that no one else can sit next to you and what? Leech off your ah soh-ness? Lets say you have like, a shit lot of heavy plastic bags filled with groceries, I would understand.

But its a tiny little bag that you can bloody put on your lap.

I remember staring at one of these ah sohs upon boarding one of these 80s. I stared at her, stared at her teeny weeny little bag on the next seat, and cocking an eyebrow at her. She finally got uncomfortable and put the bag on her lap. A lady promptly took that seat and that stupid ah soh was so damned uncomfortable cramped up in her seat. It was as if she would die if any part of her body touched another person.

Hello, you're not going to die from that.

Stupid ah sohs.

Another thing I can't stand about commuters these days are those annoying people who blast their music so bloody loudly from their handphones in the bus/train. What the hell are you guys trying to prove? Since you guys have such wonderful handphones, I'm sure you have hands-free/earpieces that are just as wonderful.

So can't you use them instead of blasting your horrible metal (sorry, no offence dar =D)/techno/other annoying music for everyone to hear? We have our own music, thanks. And some people would rather have a little peace and quiet instead of hearing an annoying techno beat or crazy people screaming or growling lyrics you cannot make sense of (sorry, sorry..). And its worse when a whole group of these people gather together in the bus/train, and they all start blasting their music together!

YOU THINK COMPETITION AR.

Just wait till I pour water on your phones, then we'll see what music you can play.

Its not even *nice* music.

You're just contributing to noise pollution.

Arsewipes.

Use earpiece/hands-free can die ar? Not like your ears will fall off.

Inconsiderate, food-wasting, brainless, useless, good-for-nothing commuters.

Fuck off and die.
