It's funny how some people can be so ridiculously inconsiderate. Though it shouldn't come as a surprise actually. Taking the mrt during peak periods can be really a hassle. Ok it IS a hassle. I, for the first time, witnessed (with the best view) the extremely unique behaviour of people boarding the train. First of, the LTA has painstakingly got contractors to paint pretty yellow lines that provide a very clear understanding of where to stand for commuters to wait at a diagonal side of the door so as to not block the commuters who are disembarking from the trains. However, we have a special breed who do not seem to be able to follow this simple procedure.
And here are the possible reasons that I can think of:
1) they really can't see it
2) they refuse to see it
3) they don't know where to stand even after seeing it
4) they refuse to stand where they're suppose to
5) they're all just plain outright retards
6) on top of either of the above points, they want to rush into the trains for a seat
All of these reasons are really sad. And the last one being the more obvious reason is extremely barbaric. I stood at the line with the intention of letting passengers come off the train first. This Malay lady came beside me. Stood in the middle of the doors, and shoved her way in when the doors opened. She went for the seats and god should everyone have seen her facial expression. She had this I-must-get-it look on her face the whole time, with her mouth opened and her eyes so wide, I could've sworn she looked like a dinosaur.
Coming from a society that stereotypes based on merit, awards and other non-characteristic attributes,boy do we have a long way to go.
