Why so ungracious?

Sorry, just letting off some steam...

 

I found 2 'paper-wrapped' mags (Times + The Economist) mistakenly delivered to my mailbox. Resisting the temptation of keeping them, I brought the 2 mags to the rightful owner just now.

 

The owner opened the door and stare at me. I said "Hi, these are in my mailbox, but they are yours". She took them, without saying 'Thank You' or even smile, then proceed to close the door.

 

Unbelievable!

 

Not really so unbelievable actually.

"Gracious, grace"... What?? These words don't exist in most Singaporeans. They only know their "RIGHTS". It's so common that you see it everyday in Singapore on MRT. e.g. People not giving up seats to those who need them more. The sad truth is they don't see there is anything wrong with that.

"SLUT" is a mean word, but "BITCH" is not [laugh][laugh][laugh]

 

I didnt know Bitch is not a mean word. How about Bustard (the actual word was blocked) ??

Hello there, just live with it lah!

 

In HDBs, you are considered already damn lucky if your neighbour :

 

1) Don't vandalised your car!

2) Throw curry and what have you go onto your clean laundry!

3) Occupy the common spaces like it is their own!

4) Have kids that run wild all over the place!

5) Have strange and unpleasant smell creeping over to your flat within!..etc..etc [laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]

I remembered i once gave some coupons to another car as i was leaving the place earlier than expected.

 

the guy stared at me, snatched the coupons from my hands and threw the coupons on his dashboard...

Real horrible attitude. This is what I call 'mei2 jia1 jiao4' no manners. Well, hope that in future the mags will keep on being posted to the wrong address--your house--and this time round, Finder's keepers! [:p]

someone gave their unused coupons to me once as well. i was so grateful that i thanked them while i was in my car (they passed to me just after I reversed into my lot) and thanked them again when i came out of my car.

 

it's not the coupons really, it's the kind thought that counts.

 

Some guy also gave me his coupons when i reversed into a lot a few weeks ago. Thanked him for his kind gesture. After he dorve off i realised that the coupons had expired!!! [confused] Haha! Punk'd?

 

Maybe he also never realise....

That is what I have been trying to put across to 'them'(slaves) for 99 years and still they ( slaves) don't get it! [sly]

 

Now, they (slaves) want to add 'GRACIOUSNESS' as one of their requirement when they stay there! [laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]

Sorry to inform you...slaves only pick up the 'BAD TRAITS'...fast but they don't adopt or practise ( in sincerity) the good traits.

 

You can teach a dog to do tricks to please you but do really think the dog really likes to do such tricks? [sly][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]

I once knock on my neighbor door to inform them that they left the whole bunch of keys on the front door...attached to the lock....

 

They open door....see me and I told them about the keys...they took the keys from the door...close the door...not a nod of appreciation even....

 

Sometime I think to myself....why bother ?
