DLS, here it goes, ng care gum dor la! just never seem to b able to get this right!! sorry for my grammar n spelling in this entry, and the lack of vocabs
While my dear fellow bloggers were craving for an interesting weekly topic, it took me a little less than ten seconds to come up with one. For as long as I am in Hong Kong, I do not recall any moment I actually feel peaceful. Oh, my pet peeves... "a chance to vent", I think to myself.
Pedestrians Series -
#1 -- I HATE people who, literally, bump into me on the street. NOTHING in this world can beat its rank. I cannot stress how pissed off I can get when people just bump into me without LOOKING. Typing this makes me mad already. And believe it or not, it happens to me 10 times a day in Hong Kong, and I'm not exaggerating. How can you friggin' bump into a person while the road is wide enough to fit ten people? Or am I really that BIG? Either way it pisses me off.
#2 - #2 is a sequel to #1, people who do not realize the fact that they bump into me or they do not apologize, or even LOOK after they have done that action. They don't even know it. INCONSIDERATE AND RUDE people!!!!
#3 - #3 is also a sequel to #2. I HATE people who cut in lines, get on the MTR/bus before you and cause YOU to be a left-behind, finally look at you with an expression like, "A HA, I'm faster than YOUUUU! You need to suffer because YOU need to wait. OOPS." Come on, I don't really care about getting on that last train or bus, please do not think I am as shallow as you are. If you need to be so sneaky to achieve something, then I'm not going to envy you. Seriously.
#4 - SLOW hazards - I hate slow people. They just like to get in your way. When you have walked pass a person, another seems to stop in front of you; but when you walk pass that person, another stops in front of u again. Another thing, I also hate slow people in front of you who walk next to each other until they fill up the width of the road and TALK and STOP there for nothing.
People Series -
#1 - Selfish people. People who are obviously selfish are just plainly annoying. They try to take advantage of you without a basic set of morality/values.
#2 - Loud people - People who try to talk(yell) over your voice, increasing their volume while you are trying to talk.
#3 - I hate people who scare me. It seems that you will be labeled as "someone who gets mad easily" if you really do get mad.
Office Series -
#1 - LOUD and creepy ringtones - the office is a quiet environment. I hate to be startled.
#2 - LOUD conversations - how come some inconsiderate people seem to think the person he/she's talking to is almost deaf? Why is there a need to talk soooo loud when you are on the phone?? Or even in front of that person!? I cannot concentrate on my work whenever someone talks loudly near me.
My Series -
#1 Hate to be late. That shirt seems to have disappeared all of a sudden. That elevator seems to be taking forever to get to your floor. That damn bus driver seems to be always the most stupid driver in the world. That woman seems to walk too slow to get on that bus. Come on, people, move! That traffic jam seems to be the nastiest ever. Hate that anxious feeling.
#2 Gossip Magazines - sorry I just won't pay to see something I will never know is real or not, or something related to people who I do not know personally.
u know, i agree with a lot those and damn, hk surely has damaged you, lol. at first i always thought its just culture shock, but no, its just selfishness at its best.
ReplyDeletei made these posts when i was in the same position:

Following to the cut in lines topic, I also hate people who dunno how to queue. Like they will suddenly stand next to the middle of the queue and then start another new queue from there. Some of them will even look at you like you ARE the one who didn't follow the right queue.
ReplyDeleteAnother type of people who dunno how to queue is those standing so far from the last person of a queue. Makes you wonder if he/she is actually on the queue or what.
Sometimes they immediately stomp close when you are walking toward the queue, looking at you like you ARE the one trying to cut in lines.
In some ways they are even worse than the FreeWalkers. Just wanna kick them off the road.
