A world of idiots

Have you ever encounter some idiots who just irritate the shit out of you? No, they are not those morons whom I mentioned before. Those are very specific cases, one of a kind. I am talking about generic idiots, performing idiotic acts that are just pure irritating. They may be different people, but they can be doing the same idiotic things. Let me name you a few…

One type of generic idiots whom I always encounter is those whom I called I-must-press-the-button idiot, always appearing in elevator lobbies. When I am the first to reach the elevator lobby and press the “up” button, the second fella who reaches the lobby just have to do the same. There will be a whole bunch of such idiots who will keep pressing the button, despite knowing that it has been pressed and it won't make the elevator comes faster, all the way till the elevator arrives. Worse, some of these idiots will press it a few times and look at you as though it’s your fault that the elevator is slow. Bunch of idiots!

The second type of generic idiots is also connected to elevators. Well, it’s not exactly their fault but it still irritates the hell out of me, particularly when I am in a hurry. Say if you get into an elevator and you wanted to go to floor x. What irritates me is that the elevator will stop at x-2, an idiot will come in and he intends to get to x-1. For example, I want to get to the 10th floor, some idiot will board the elevator on the 8th floor and get out on the 9th floor. Damn freaking irritating!! If you’re going down, reverse the formula. For goodness sake, take the stairs when it’s one floor. What an idiot!

Next are those idiots who hog the line. No, I am not talking about traffic or any sort of queue, I am talking about those who hog the lines in a “chap fan” (economy rice) store. These idiots will just stare at the dishes as though they are choosing their life partners. C’mon, make up your mind and get out of the way. How much it costs and how good it tastes will not change if you give them your idiotic stare. Worse, there are those who take one dish and stand there like a model… ponder and hog the line. For goodness sake, once you’ve taken your pick, choose your next dish or pay! What an idiot.

Another bunch of idiots who are downright irritating are those holy Malaysian drivers. How do you know they are holy? Well… because they put up a lot of those holy car stickers, which are quite a trend nowadays. They will put up all sorts of nice and heavenly and godly car stickers with verses and phrases from the relevant religion’s holy book. But!!! They will drive like a devil and the moment you honk them or cut into their lanes or tread into their territories, they may reciprocate by giving you the middle finger hand-signal. Maybe that’s a sign of religious people. But to me, they are just a bunch of holy-drivers-wannabe idiots.

Have you been to the sauna before? The pail of water there is for you to pour into the sauna rocks to increase the humidity of the room. And the right way to pour is to slowly spread the water across the rocks in order for it vaporise, and the steam will heat up the room. But some idiots will just walk in and keep pouring like their lives depend on it, not knowing that consistent pouring will cool down the sauna rocks thus cooling the room. Worse, this bunch of idiots will have the guts to say… “Why still not hot wan ah?”

Have you been to a saloon where there is a particular stylist who is very popular? Every freaking customer who walks in will want to have her (usually a her) cut their hair, I have seen such things a few times. And they will make a big fuss when they wait too long and complain about other people jumping queue. Yeah, fair complaints perhaps. But do you know why they are idiots? Because all these customers (usually guys), have nothing much on their head to be cut anymore. One miss of the scissors might just bald their entire freaking head. But… they will insist on a particular stylist. Idiots indeed, no?

Last on the list, and I really hate them, because I think they should all die, are a certain type of idiotic smokers. Smoking is fine, it is your right. And being in Malaysia, I am used to the fact the smoking area in restaurants are nothing but fairy tales. But what irritates me most is when I see smokers smoking in an air-tight sports hall. These idiots are obviously stupid to feed their lungs with nicotine after a good work out but they should at least have the decency to walk out of the hall before killing themselves but no… they just have to puff away inside the hall and deprive other people like me who happened to be longing for oxygen. Bunch of idiots!

Have you encounter such idiots before? The world is full of them.

I hate those people who hog the line at chap fan too!!

In fact, at the place where I'd normally get my chap fan, there's this particular aunty who not only talks with very loud, annoying voice, she also loves staying at a spot, taking her precious time to choose between chicken or fish. If she thinks the vegetables are overcooked, she'd shout to the owner:

"Ehh.. this vegetables are overcooked lah. Why like that one? Must discount to us lah!"

Not only she talks a lot, takes an eternity to choose the dish, she also have this tendency to push people aside when she wanted to reach certain dish. And to make things worse, she have this daughter that looked like in hear early 20s that follows her around at the chap fan. Whichever dish the mother pointed for her to eat, she'll take it. Very obedient wan..

There was once she pushed me aside. I got so angry, I pushed her back and pretend like it's nothing.

We called her The f*cking* aunty.

I agree with you about that elevator thing. One floor and they don't take the stairs.

I think the time taken to wait for the elevator, one would have already made it upstairs. Maybe some girls don't do it because stairwells can be dangerous (it's too quiet). Some women are advised not to walk alone in that area. But the men do that idiotic elevator thing. What are the men afraid of in the stairwell? :)

Acute Critique said...

haha.. ur situation is only at chap fan. try standing behind a person in a FAST FOOD restaurant. they are like choosing their life partner wei!

damn irritating..

Angie Tan said...

hahahha...

thank goodness we don't have that problem of people taking the elevator down 1 floor , coz, our elevators at each floor work differently!! (double-decker elevator mah)

so, if you want to go from 60 to 59, tough luck. u got to go down to ground, go to the other side of elevators for lower floors and then go up to 41 to take the odd lifts to 59.

we don't have idiots pressing the elevator up/down button again because it's placed very far. :-P

i hate those idiots in their big fancy-shmancy cars with the HIL (high-intensity-light) driving like Michael Schumacher on the fastlane of Sprint highway, only to cut across all 4 lanes to go to the cash or TnG counter. Phhhhpttttt... If you can afford a huge car, certainly u can afford the RM100+ only Smarttag mah. Makes me laff whenever i zoom pass them after i come out from the Smarttag lane. Who's smarter now, huh?

Anonymous said...

On the elevator thing, consideration must be given to those who wear high heels. It is very tiring on their feet afterall.

On the car sticker thing, that is the reason why I would never put on any hypocritical statements since I know I am not a "patient" driver.

As for the smokers, most are inconsiderate when they light their cigarettes anyway. Look at it this way, if you are concern about global warming, assuming all things being equal, they certainly contribute more towards quickening the end of the world than a non-smoker...

"Joe" who is constantly craving said...

u havent got those ppl who rush into the lift b4 u get out..i really give them an eyeful..bugger if i cant get up the lift..what makes u think u can rush in and go up..DUH!..

hahah yeap i have all those idiots as well..how about those leaking 1s?

me said...

come lie down on my psychiatrist chair, mr zewt. from your stories, i can tell that you are a very frustrated young man, sexually or otherwise i will have to listen further to determine. all this impatience point to something in your life that is making you feel unfulfilled. sorry, yr time's up today. come back tmr and we'll discuss yr problem in more detail. that'll be $1,000. thank you.

Huei said...

ahh yes..these idiots populate most of earth!

those lift incidents..i see it everyday! people just barge into an elevator when it opens and people inside can't get out.
i once witness that..i just stood outside to let those inside people come out first..and when i walked up to the elevator..those bitches closed the door right infront of me *#&^$*#&^$*&@#^$*&#^$&*^#*&^$*&#

about pressing the button eventhough it has already been pressed..once this guy commented on my blog that he does that to make sure that the press was registered in the system

is that even possible for the lights to turn on when the lift "system" is not aware of it!?!??!

Anonymous said...

I'm usually very tolerable to sohais.. given the time and situation; we too might be sohais in other people's eye...

the lift part is amusing; A purpose driven objective (to enter a lift), then (the part where either auto reflex or auto suggestion) kicks in. The "Mesti Tekan" die-hard habit is hard to break, where even if one don't want too.. but seeing others doing so ; the hands will automatically follows...

I happen to be one of the sohais occasionally.. :X

missironic said...

yea, there are many many more idiots who really do stupid things that sometimes make us wonder whether they really r ignorant or plain stupid or just purposely to irritate ppl...but i guess living in tis world, u will find ALL SORTS of people..Practically variation of people. Yea? U just can't like all of them! Lolz..

Btw, zewt, can i add u in my list in my blog? Hehehee..thanks!

imp said...

many many. plenty of idiots around who make me roll my eyes. ugh.

rinnah said...

Hahaha... I meet this kind of people everyday! Yeah, I get frustrated sometimes too, but hey, that's life, yea?

Really agree with the "act holy with stickers, but drive like a devil" drivers. Brings disrepute to the religion they follow only. That's why I choose to have nothing fancy or decorative in my car!

jolcy said...

ya man.. there really are all kinds of ppl that exists in this planet.. you'd be surprised and amazed.. so cheer up.. no point getting upset over them.. wasting your time...

Weig said...

Aiyoooo.... so much hostility. Must be before lunch. Let's see if after a good dose of chapfan, the comments will mild down. :P

moms tales said...

*singing and dancing to maroon 5 in front of the comp*...lalala...makes me wonder if the idiots will stop being idiotic...lallaal...

Azlan Zed said...

next time you meet them, you yelled at them, "stupid idiota !" you will feel better. ;)

Purple~MushRooM said...

Wah lau.. are you in a complain mood?

FYI, I am also the idiot as mentioned in your second para.. the one who goes into the elevator and press either 1 floor up or down. Dude.. sometimes no choice lar. Taking the stairs can be dangerous and sometimes the exit is locked and can only be opened from inside. I dun wanna be trapped in the stairs area. Its scary!!

Cutiez said...

yeah~!!those bloody smoker are just sucks... non-smoker have to force to be smoker too .. *SAD* -_-"'

Winn said...

agree agrees!!!!

i hate taxi drivers too! i hate rude taxi driver, i hate it when they dont wanna use the meter, i hate it to have the feeling of fear that they dowan to take me to where i want and ask me to get outta their car. and i hate it when their cabs smell like shits.

oh..and sales ppl..how smart they are now...
i went to the banks yest nite there were a lot of WWF sales ppl..asking to sign up card or something..i went to 3 different banks and they are stationed at all 3 of them. they wouldnt disturb u when u walk into the bank, they very frenly tim.but they'd stop u when u walk out of the bank...#^$&*..i feel unsafe...common...i jus got outta the bank, i dowan to talk to u coz u might rob me! grrrrr....and someme it's nite time...!

zewt said...

ethel - ahahaha... the f***ing aunty! i can feeeeeeeel your anger. i am glad you share my sentiments. i have encounter a few of those. hmmm... speaking of which, this particular aunty sounds very familiar indeed.

sooi2 - that one ah... the whole house is... ok, i better not say it.

JT - one comment said... have to be fair to women... cos they are wearing high heels... well, fair enough. but u know what is even more irritating... it is when they come into the elevator with the i-am-in-a-hurry look. if that is the case.... take the stairs la!!! men scared of stairwell... pure idiots.

soulblade - oh yeahhhhhhh!!! damn, i miss out that one. should have included that. damn damn! yeah, damn idiots right? the whole time while in queue they cant decide on what they want... they will only use their brain (if any) when they reach the counter.

Angie Tan - aiyooo... from 60 to 59... just take the stairs la, why go thru the hassle of going down. sounds like you work in KLCC.

oh yeah, those ppl with fancy cars... also another irritating thing... is when those posh cars double park despite having a car park around. why oh why they can afford fancy cars but cannot afford a few bucks for parking? bunch of idiots!

anon @ 8.03am - fair point on heels. haha... that's the reason why i dont put up those stickers too, used to have them. as for smokers... well, they indirectly feed plenty of ppl in this world... tobacco farmers, so...

zewt said...

constant craver joe - leaking 1s? do enlighten.

me - have you taken medication today?

Huei - hahaha... they close the door when u let ppl out? hahah... that's nasty!!! who the hell is that idiot who gave such a comment... he is truly an idiot... maybe some things fail to register in his sytem.

-=Sin=- - sshhhh... dont tell anyone cos sometimes, i also can be infected with the 'mesti tekan' virus. but after putting up this post. i vow not to do it ever again! hahaahaha... sohais no more.

missironic - like what the old astro advert say.... "macam macam ada!".... sure, go ahead. it will be an honour :)

imp - oh yeah... we all have such days. really make us wonder why the world need such ppl eh?

rinnah - hahaha... i used to have such stickers... took it down during my rebellious period cos i dowan to be a hypocrite... have not put them up since. hehe...

zewt said...

jolcy - indeed, no point getting upset at all. but when such ppl interupts our lives... we cant help but feel the fury...and hope we can release them. sigh.

cirnelle - what if we encounter a chap-fan-line-hogger idiot then?

Shireen Loh - if they stop, they wont be known as idiot, no? :)

alan zed - hahaha... i shall try that remedy.

purple mushroom - ok fair enough... anyway, like i said there... cant blame them fully... but just irritate me when i experience the x-2 to x-1 ppl.

maegen - and when they do that in a sports hall... that is just so damn idiotic!

winn - WWF? what is that ah? world wildlife federation ah? taxi which smells like shit! haha... thank god i dont need to take cab frequently. sigh... the world is filled with idiots right?

Helen said...

Yes. Many times when I waited for the lift, the first person who goes in will just simply go and press their floor. Diu, at least have the courtesy of pressing the open door button for others to board lar. No, they have to press their stupid floor and have the lift door close halfway when people are still trying to get in. I will usually glare at the person and press the open door button.
Damn inconsiderate. Most of the time, they are well dressed idiots.

~ Thai Boxing Girl ~ said...

Before I was pregnant, I'd play badminton regularly in the sports hall. I did walk up to a few people then, on different occasions, and asked politely for them go outside to smoke. They will just stare at me as though I just told them that earth is square, which is largely unbelievable.

Now that I am pregnant and can only do swimming, I still have to walk up to those who have just swam and smoke by the pool side to walk further away to do so. AGAIN, they will look at me as though I have just said something out of their comprehension.

Unknown said...

speaking about elevators, imagine if it's slower than a person using the stairs. Couple that up with idiots pressing all the floor buttons.. what do you get?

Anonymous said...

another type .. really annoys me also. the ones that kenot spray cun cun into the toilet bowl and after that just leave it like that. these people, shud be cut off the LJ.

H.C. Tan said...

I think you are PMS-ing..haha.

Worst kinds are those at work oni la, who do stupid decisions repeatedly/give stupid tasks to make you miserable..

ManaL said...

Yeah and making ugly gurgling sound of sniffing up the phlegms and swallow them loudly, what more with a very nasty BO! And also when a foul smell emitted from someone who farted inside the lift too!!!....Spending time going up a lift from G to 5th floor can be a miserable trip....

Anonymous said...

Wat about those people pounding on the traffic lights for ped crossing, pound sekali light din change, pound a few more times hopefully will change to green faster so they can cross the road. If light dun change lagi pound rapidly on button.

sharlydia said...

hahaha! i had a good laugh reading this...and it's soooo true - bunch of idiots!

infact in the elevator, there's 1 more type of idiots who will always lean on the sensitive lift buttons & "tah-dah" the whole line of numbers all lid up & the lift will slowly stop at each floor!

Anonymous said...

And then you will come across certain drivers who wouldn't use their right/left signal lights. Sometimes stopping in the middle of road junction with my right indicator on to turn right, cos waiting for oncoming car to get by, but no...the driver didnt pass by me instead turning into the junction without his left indicator on! they just make you wait for them to turn 1st...haiyoh, at times like this i wish my car is fixed with loud speaker and i can shout my lungs out "Hoi...!"

SLACKER said...

hahahaha.... i can't stand elevator idiots... how about morons who sees u coming towards the elevator door yet has his fingers firmly on the 'close' button?????

or morons who can't stand straight and must lean on something and decides to lean on the wall with the ever sensitive floor buttons?

howabout morons who get onto elevators... scans all the buttons and realise they are on the wrong set of lifts?

or morons who come onboard... look around and press floor no 9... then goes.. no no.. its 8... err.. no 7?? so by the time he has calmed down.. the dude has pressed 3 floors... and u need to go to level 10.. and need to use the bathroom in a real hurry...

i agree with joe- i hate assholes who rush in before letting ppl off the elevators!

as for smokers.. though i'm a smoker and i'm sorry but i have to smoke at eating places... i cant stand ppl smoking in inappropriate places espcially confined areas... like a hall... if there's no one else... and just ur bunch.... then fair enough... i dont see what's the big deal about smoking outside?

Yea, I know! Malaysians! haih they know what is wrong and still wan to do all those idiotic stuff.

how about idiotolleague(?)

yesterday one came to hand me fax she just received. there was nothing idiotic about it, until she opened her trap to say that it was for mr. so-and-so. i mean, duhhhhhh.... go and give the fella his fax!! shooo!!!

earlier, she received a call from a supplier. nothing idiotic about the call too. she said the supplier was already downstairs and wanted me to take the sample i requested from him as he cannot find a parking space. okay, still nothing idiotic about that yet. but u see, when the idiotollegue told me about the call, i was in the toilet (which was totally NOT an idiotic thing to do), so i told her that i cant go downstairs to see the supplier and asked her to run to him to get the damned sample for me instead, and to tell him that i was in the toilet.

then, she picked up a phone to call the supplier (who was downstairs) to tell him that i was in the toilet, and that she will take the sample on my behalf. why can't she just like GO downstairs and meet up the fella instead? for goodness sakes, we're on the FIRST floor only!!!

A.A said...

yea.. idiots are evrywhere... at my college... these idiots also do the same thing by taking the lift and go up/down by one floor. and yea i know idiots who even smoke while waiting for the lift and when they havent finish smoking...they'll bring it together with them inside the lift... but strange smoke alarm dint ring.

~aSstHa~ said...

hmmm.. lemme see..

type 1 idiot - hehhehe... can't say i haven't done dat before in my life... specially when i'm rushing/late for work... i do know it won't make it move any faster but wat can i say? eases the frustration a tad by repeatingly pressing dat darn button... eheh... guily as charged...

type 2 - erm... i hardly ever used the elavators if i needed to go one floor down in my previous ofis (smoking area is one floor down) cos it's attached to the pantry area and it's a real hassle to swipe out (x2 as there's two doors...out), wait 4 elevator, swipe in (x2 one to reception n one to pantry)... walking down is faster cos we eliminate the waiting for elavator... but at my current workplace... u either have to take the stairs 2 flights down (option to take elevator non-present as it's d nearest to go for a smoke) or... walk dem far to go down one level for a fag (here there's d option to take a lift which i normally do as by the time i walk there my feet is killing me already but since it's a service lift so no prob there)... hahaha... other than that i don't take the bubble lift to go a floor down... n yes i get irritate when ppl take the lift fr 3rd floor to the second floor n their ofis is like super duper near the bloody lift... specially when i'm rushing to catch the shuttle bus/van to take me to my car (carpark super far k... try walking in heels carrying ur lappie... even further if u come late...)

type 3 - *whew* i'm not part of this.. hardly eat chap fan but when i do i normally check out wat i want to eat before i take the rice (wat to do... am picky eater)... so nope.. no guilty of this charge...

type 4 - *aih* lagi not me la... the only car stickers i have are all mobile adverts, dhl's merdeka sticker, i tink the tsunami concert one.. and another car sticker dat says "i may be fat, but you're ugly.. at least i can diet"... hahahaha...

type 5 & 6 - i don go to sauna.. (can't stand the humidity... normally jz steam room 4 me) and i don go saloon... my hairdresser works from home so like it or not it's just one person who does my hair.. but we normally call in to see if she's available beforehand...

type 7 - luckily u said certain type of idiotic smokers... i know i don't (really) smoke in air-tight places (well, not that i remember and ifu count my car as air-tight...) i think those people are terrible too... neither do i smoke near pregnant women or kids... if they're too close to where i sit i either
(1) blow the smoke in the other direction (far, far away)
(2) walk a bit further away; or
(3) worse come to worse, refrain from smoking til they leave...

hmmm... so do i classify as an idiot?...

happy-suang said...

My main office is located at 6th floor while my office is at 5th floor. Everyday without fail, i have to go up to the 6th floor ( minimum 5 times per day ), i also never take the elevator. Mind u, im wearing high heel during work time. I also never complaint. Who tell u, wear high heel cannot take the stairs ?? Ada logic kah ?

aSstHa - woooaaahhhh... u can have a post just for yourself! hahaha... glad u know type 2 can be really irritating huh... type 3... while checking... did u also hog the line???? you're certainly not type 7.... as long as you're considerate... i guess it's fine.

amanda - hmmm... there is one anonymous comment which said so... i am not going to accept that as an excuse either... cos when girls shop... i dont think the mind doing it in high heels either.

albert yap - haha... sounds like you're in starbucks. aiyah... u think the hands of the fella preparing your drinks very clean meh? :P

Rashikaps said...

Believe me when I say this - dealing with idiots everywhere else is far easier than dealing with one at your workplace, more so if he happens to be a senior. Having worked with one I can’t tell you how much patience we needed to smile and not bluntly tell him his suggestions were flawed and lacked logic.

Some fools may try to mask their lack of knowledge by pretending they are good listeners and advising only occasionally. Some may take the trouble of acquainting themselves with critical information. But not this one. He let everyone know he was intellectually challenged. :)

rach p said...

That's why I do not put up those stickers.. only because I do not want to be associated with those drivers.. LOL..I think my pastor thinks so too.. heh..

Well.. Just to be fair.. To others.. We may be idiots ourselves.. Who knows..

rainbow angeles said...

U so free geh...

According to my Form 3 Engrish teacher Mr. Koay, ppl with the highest degree of stewpig-dity are called nincompoops...

One day, what I'd like to do to those ppl who rush into the lift b4 those in the lift come out... is to suddenly shout out loud like kena possessed and then pull my long hair to the front, make like hantu... hmmm... I think winn can do that very well also...

Last night, I wrote a few types of nincompoops here but I ter-zzzz after that :p

Cocka Doodle said...

Yeah angel is right. Those are real idiots. If ppl don't get out first how the fark are they gonna come in?
I usually give them a dirty look, barge my way out and push them aside.

Don't get so worked up lah, zewt.
We are still very much 3rd world mentality.

I agree with the chap fan thing. Some people choose those dishes like choosing their life partners or something. I'm not saying i'm smart lah, normally i'll just take a peep at those dishes outside the line first, if it's ok, then i'll queue up.

Melissa said...

I know how I got to know your blog. Through JT and not d'fish. =) mystery solved.

But seriously right, you thing your elevator story is badd..oh man. I have to see it EVERYDAY (well minus sat N sun). You see in my office building the only stairs we have is the fire escape and so just to get to the 15th floor (my office level) almost every other day I get people pressing all the different levels before 15 and I'm talking about 6 or more stops here!!

I figured surely if I continue to work in that building I may end up spending quarter of my life in a lift!

zewt said...

Rashikaps - hahaha... well, put it this way, at least he was honest with you! :P... but i know wat you mean.

rach p - well, like what -=Sin=- said... me and him are admitting to be idiots. just that we vow not to be anymore. are you one?

cocka doodle - no worries cocka... not that worked out. just trying to create some laughter.

seok thong - that's a good thing. make up your mind... make it quick. those hungry souls behind you can be cursing you non stop.

MeLiSsA - yo! i know what u mean. my office is at level 17 and it's the highest level for that batch of elevator. i usually take the the batch that goes straight to 18th floor and walk down the stairs to 17t, much faster. maybe u can do the same if that's possible to avoid spending quarter of your life in the lift.

wow.....you're really on a role aren't you? lol..but I totally understand what you mean by all these types of idiots. Especially about the pressing of the 'up' button while waiting for the elevators =) some people just have this preconceived notion that by pressing it alot of times, it will make it go faster. what a bunch of idiots...

I've actually seen an idiot driver who put stickers on his car side window and it blocks his view he had to duck a little to see the cars coming from his right side.

ardy said...

Haha, you said it right bro!

Idiots are everywhere, especially on the road. But the worst of 'em all are the ones who know that they are an idiot, but still puff up their chest telling everyone that they have the right to be an idiot!

Really annoying bunch!

Fuiyoh, I can feel waves of stress coming off my computer monitor. As my colleague would say, chill, chill... Methinks you need a vacation, Zewt ;)

Anonymous said...

Hahahha!!! Reading what you wrote already make me feel stressed because of idiots already...

That's why I have a category for "World's Stupidest People" in my blog

WP said...

I don't think most of those people can be classified as idiots. Some are inconsiderate, and some might be woefully ignorant. You're being way too harsh (and maybe stressed?) The only idiocy you mentioned that I can wholeheartedly agree with is the one about people pressing the elevator button a thousand times (not that I've seen much of it before).

It would be nice to try putting yourself in somebody else's shoes before declaring them idiots.

water angel - yeah, they do have such perception. and like i said... sometimes, they stare at you as though it's your fault that the lift is late. that is so damn stupid.

hcfoo - hahahaha... that is what i call... a moron!

ardy - hey there... welcome to AZAIG. haha... those on the roads deserve a special post just about them. and you're right about those self professed idiots... they are the stupid proud idiots. hope to see ya around bro.

Sunflower - does that mean i need to take another week off? hehe... i dont mind.

Clare - haha... maybe i should have such category too... hmmmmmm.....

WP - hi there. like what i told -=Sin=-, i am an idiot... on that lift situation. but i vow not to do it anymore.

I agree with you la..

Its like they suffer from mental illness and dyslexia!!

Another idiotic approach is the seats in LRT/MOnorails

I see pregnant women and old fellows standing, whilst the seats allocated for them is occupied by morons big enough to crush a Malaysian made car!!!

Another one: The ones who give long
fcked up comments , long enough for them to start a blog!!!

zewt said...

aSstHa - half a day... wow... that's longer than my post :P.... you should be in the records book :P....

MissSHopaHolic - are you relating to spam comments? i welcome long comments here though.

elevator idiots!!!

i remember once, a couple of years ago i think, i was trying to enter an elevator that was about to close, i managed to somehow almost squeeze in. almost. the doors closed on me, literally squishing me.

three ppl in the elevator were just STARING at me between the elevator doors. no emotions, actions expressions or whatever. and sure as hell they didn't do anything until the doors eventually opened again what felt like 1 minute later (automatically, but why so long?)

after i entered, they were still starring at me, slightly amused. not apologies whatsoever. it surprisingly did hurt tau.

i can never enter elevators the same way again. trauma la. huhu =P
