Bad Habits

[ngohan8]

ngohan8, I think about the escalator thing, it doesn't lay on human behavior but social behavior, I have seen Singaporeans automatically stand on the right of escalator in HK and Japan, on the other hand, these "rules" do not really applies here as our escalators here are not as crowded as countries like HK/Japan....

As for kids running around in public, I have kid too... so I understand how other parents feel... sometimes, we just no "air" to control them...

understand lah
No right or wrong, as someone says 上有政策，下有对策。As long as there's mutual respect, understanding and just cut some slags to others plus extending a benefit of a doubt. I guess this will be a better place

better system could be the Marche system, whereby there is a reserved sign on the table.

True but hard to implement at hawker centers and big food courts.
At least one person stay behind to guard the table instead of all four pax go and buy their food and leave 1 pack of tissue to reserve a table of 4 and above.

Back in 2000 when I was working in Shenton way and go to China square food court to makan, I don't recall experiencing these kind of ugly habit in the 3 yrs there leh.

hehehe..no ppl told me off before..mayb due to my image...lol.....normally they juz stare at me until i shot back my 'u wan to die ar' look to them

power... i should try and develop the same look

maybe i should start going around with a plastic bag and comb all the hawker centre during lunch hour....see tissue paper take tissue paper.....at the end of day....i can sell them for a profit and fund a new watch for myself.

lol.

or donate to the needy. Those uncle/aunty can give them and ask them to resell

i have never encountered tissue reservations, though it seems prevalent. but reality is how does one expect to consume food, if after queuing to purchase, and cant find a seat? there must be some aletrnative to this, rather then be pissed off with the current practice

I have to agree. Walking around with the noodles in your tray and walking around is annoying like hell. But we just wait around for empty tables, not reserving with tissue papers

how about eating while standing up???hahaha...

japanese style!! power!

i dont rob the tissue, i just put it aside i was told off by some bi*ch, who had reserve ONE seat, but unknown to me, no one allowed to sit with one seat from her. ie. one person three seats.... WTF. i just ignore and continue eating.

bro, in china you pickup one stone from the floor and throw anyhow also will hit an university grad!What i'm saying is they are like everywhere... Singapore is the most well behaved second to Japan. But customer service seriously alot more to catch up...esp the aunties at RSC!

Sorry louie, let me clarify this. I know education to many means academic achievement only but to me, it is not only that. An educated person in my dictionary refers to someone who has both brains and heart. For example I will not term a scholar 'educated' when he jump a queue or throw his burning cigarette butt out of the car.
