septuagenarians and octogenarians
has it ever occured to you how old people seem to gravitate towards each other? i learned about this through some irritating incidents.
i was hurrying at the bus interchange one day. there were about 5 oldies in front of me, not together, not friends. but when i was about to overtake them, they suddenly coagulated into a mass of oldies walking veeerrrryyy slowlyyyyy. i had to circumvent by taking a HUGEEE detour. mehhhh.
then another time, i was trying to alight from the train. imperative: trying.
what the fuck. the bunch of oldies just stood at the door trying to get past me. it's like the positions were switched 180. i was suddenly the one blocking them!
seriously, with the arrows outside the door directing them, with phua chu kang singing about letting people alight first. and then, it's the elderlies who do not perform these acts of courtesy.
i'm not trying to be an ageist here you know, i'll give my seat to an elderly.
OH SEE, seats are reserved for them already so why the hell are they still trying to fight their way onto the train? they think they own the public transport. they are the ones who will put their stuff on the bus seats and prevent people from sitting.
all the young people are giving in to the oldies by giving them the seats and all so why cant the oldies be a bit more sensitive?
i was so angry when one of the oldies blocked my exit that i TSKED so fucking loud.
you know, she was just trying to get past me and trust me, she was getting impatient. fucking hell. if she stood at the side and waited for me to alight before boarding, it wold be sooo much faster and convenient. i think alzheimer's claimed her common sense.
i'm so pissed.
