http://theconversation.com/smug-couples-patronise-singles-to-feel-better-about-themselves-21770 An interesting read. Lately I have been meeting up with old friends and I start to feel pissed off when our conversation focussed on my weight and singlehood. I mean like. If I am fat, what is TT to you and if I am single, tts my choice. Sometimes the focus is so much until I dun feel like talking anymore...... Like there is no other topic. Any Bros here have any similar experience ? How do you handle it? For me. I simply learn to choose my friends better.

Maybe some of you have experienced it before. Nevertheless I'm sharing this story. I was queueing at a fruit juice stall waiting for my turn. A FT (indian) with his boy just stood in front of the cashier while a couple of us were lining up against the stall waiting. Initially his boy was pointing and saying " I want this, I want that". Okay I thought he's looking at the favour only and will soon join the queue. As a minute went by, I realised he wasn't, he is constantly turning his eyes towards me (I happened to be the next person on queue). I quite sure he's trying to play punk and cut queue, using his boy as an excuse. I turn back and look behind, the 2 others behind me was kinda pissed too judging on their looks. I guess I wasn't alone. So when it comes to my turn, I request for my drink, he also requested his. Of course, I got the priority, the Cheena FT seller don't even bothered to look at his direction. Soon, I turn my head and gesture to him, "The queue is behind me" He started to get defensive, "Yah, I know it, my boy, he's active and always running about, I have to stand here so it's easier to hold him' he uttered in his fake slant. Yah, blar, blar.... I just look away, showing a real disgusted look at him. I was seriously thinking to myself :- the F**k you placed your order together with me then? He still persisted standing there. By then, a long queue had gathered behind me, he finally beat a nasty retreat and proceed to the normal drink stall to get his boy's drink. Of course, not before I swipe a cheeky smile at him when he walked by me. What's wrong with these FTs? I simply don't understand why they insist of bringing their own set of rules in SG. The queue is organised and everybody waits patiently ... I can't help but have a bad impression on them. Am I gonna have such lifestyles of fighting during queueing as well? Somebody, pelase share a positive story of FTs so that I don't feel depressed! If not, share a negative story and all get depressed!!
