If you want to chope a table, you put a packet of tissue. If you want to chope a parking lot, you put two 'ah-mas'?

The 'chope-ing' culture is prominent in Singapore and it is usually observed when dining out at coffee shops or hawker centres.

And unfortunately, this toxic culture has been shaped to be part of the Singapore identity.

Watch the product of our toxic culture unfold before your very eyes: 

What Happened?

This incident occurred at an open-air carpark at Block 114 Geylang Lorong 3.

Two 'ah-mas' stood in a vacant white parking lot to 'chope' in a supposedly crowded carpark.

As a result, they prevented a mini-van from parking at the vacant lot, which indirectly obstructed the traffic flow in the carpark. 

The van driver then alights from his vehicle to film the elderly ladies' absurd actions.

Due to the obstruction, vehicles started piling up behind the mini-van.

Toxic and Self-Centered

Lo and behold, a Chevrolet Sonic rolls up to the parking lot and parks head-first into the lot. 

The driver, an elderly man, presumably the spouse of either one of the elderly ladies, alights from the car and walks across the carpark. 

IMO, their act of 'chope-ing' a vacant white lot is nothing but a toxic and self-centred act. 

Just because they insisted on having that white lot, they wasted the precious time of many other motorists.

Oh, well. And those two elderly ladies probably don't have a driving license either. 

I guess you won't know the woes of a driver if you aren't a driver🤷‍♂️

Ps. For those wondering why the van driver did not park in the other vacant lot beside it, the reason is that it is a season parking lot (red lot).

Time for them to buy this and 'chope' more lots in the future.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Forget the Future - Embrace the Past

    Ah, the future. That shiny, chrome-plated paradise we're all supposed to be chasing. Well, I say bollocks to that. Let's take a cheeky detour down memory lane instead, shall we? Imagine you're lounging in a velvet smoking jacket, sipping brandy from a crystal snifter, surrounded by dusty tomes and antique globes. Sounds rather spiffing, no? That's because old is gold, methinks. While everyone else is frantically scrolling through their social media feeds, we'll be gleefully embracing t

    Armored MMA

    Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a brutal sport that, in recent decades, has grown to significant prominence.  Whatever you make of the sport (and the often complicated and sometimes problematic climate that swirls around it), there's no denying its popularity, driven in large part by the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) brand - a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise.  But if partially-clothed men/women beating the s*it out of each other is not quite your thing, may I interest you in

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok
