Inconsiderate people

These days, sis would be discussing with me about the inconsiderate people in Singapore. Being pregnant did not help make things better though.

1. She was in a bus in the peak hours of the morning. It was raining, and some were trying to board the bus in the rain. But inconsiderate people would block the pathway, and for some reason, stay ROOTED to the exit door and not move. Irritating. So sis raised her voice and exclaimed, "Can you all please move in?". Magic words, magic movement. People started to move in.

2. She was taking the mrt during peak hours and was not in the pink of health. She nearly fainted and boy, there wasn't anyone to help her. This man that was sitted in front of sis where sis's tummy was right in front of her, simply ignore. Steady! i salute that man.....kns...

3. My colleague, also a pregnant mother, was boarding the mrt when she saw a man/lady (cant remember) immediately put down the newspaper that he/she was reading, and PRETENDED to sleep. Immediately!....Linda was angry. She might not be that angry if the person just din offer the seat but the action prolly disgusted her.

I remembered the instructor making a comment while i was attending GEMS workshop then. It was a service workshop where we, in the service line, was taught on how we can provide better services. He said, "Pregnant woman is the INSTANT cure for insomia on the mrt!" haha...bingo....its definitely a golden line that prove its value!

I certainly hope to see improved consideration to be made for pregnant/needy people.
