Gracious society, but slighted by a maid!

[Sturtles]

Talking about a gracious society,

 

I got slighted by a maid!

 

I was on leave, enjoying my laps in the pool, when she came down with 4 kids, about 4-5 yrs old, and they recklessly swam about and sometimes even deliberately into my path.

 

The first time I swam into them, I spoke nicely to one of the girls, but they continued to do it, resulting a couple more near misses. Speaking more sternly to the kids this time, they end up booing and blabbering.

 

I went up to the maid, probably a pinoy or indonesian, and asked her if the kids were her charges, which she acknowledged.

 

But when I told her to remind the kids not to cut the path of a swimmer as they may get injured, and its better to get them to swim in one corner, because if two of them are in trouble at different ends of the pool, it would be hard to rescue both of them. The maid totally ignored me!

 

Those kids are probably offsprings of SPGs with ang mor husbands, and the maid whom is under their employment thinks they are too high class to talk to a local singaporean.

 

Makes me think why I did my 2 years of NS, only to become a second class citizen to the expatriates in this damn country

maybe her english not good so duno what you talking about?

[Ahtong]

Next time leave a stream of yellow liquid when they want to cross your path.

[Headshok]

[RadX]

awwwwwwwww...you die... a certain mrlau will come in here and talk RIGHT and WRONG and give you sibei cheem philosophy lecture on it...i scare for you

I seriously consider this to be a good idea, since the proper(socially accepable) path yields no results.

 

Next time, I'll throw their bloody floats into the drain

[Sturtles]

Surely she's not a non-living thing, and knows I'm talking to her, yet she acts like i'm invisible

[Sturtles]

Erm... what type of yellow liquid? got banana, marsh-mallow, durian, corn flavour types lei

Maybe the maid was a former national swimmer cum life guard.

 

You talk like that to her.......She find it insulting. She may be so good in her swimming skills that she can save all the 4 kids at all corners of the pool simultaneously.

[Sturtles]

I seriously do not know what is the appropriate solution to this.. If Lau can share his wisdom, I'd be glad

[Galantspeedz]

give chance lar, not easy to be a maid in SG. In fact, i think she dun even know what you talking about so try to avoid scolding lor

Maybe she part-time banana boat driver when her SPG boss not around, so very experienced with liquid in mouth

You should leave it after your path. Before that, make sure drink lots of water. So the output will not be yellow but transparent. Then not so obvious mah

oh i know what you mean bro..

 

 

i frequent the swimming pool at the jurong east sports complex..

 

 

alot of times these stupid kids are let loose by their ignorant parents..

 

 

juz as i propelled myself forward..some dumb kid jumped into the pool and prolly his knee hit my back..lower back..near the hip..i shouted at the kid..

 

mom came to me and i kena left right centre..den husband came..i told myself, "diu-ed"

 

 

husband asked me wad happened..i told him..and the wife and kid kena left right up down and centre..

 

 

 

husband offered to take me to an osteopath..but i declined..in the end i went back without even doin 1 lap..

 

 

oh..btw..the next day was when the pain was excruciating.

You think ST forum so much space ah? Everything you can send in, published anot is another.

 

Surely you know ST forum only publish non important letters, like OPC timings and hdb ramp access of some blocks, the kind of things the public cannot be bothered to know.

Lucky there is a mentally correct husband, and he has the moral courage to tiu the wife and kid. If he's another unbalanced selfish freak, you could be in for a tougher time.

 

On second thought, unbalanced selfish people seem to be more common than logical, gracious ones. We might just be freaks to these people
