WOMAN EVERY MORNING MUST “WWE” WITH OTHERS IN MRT, AUNTIE RUN TO SEAT, SHOUT “MINE MINE MINE!”

My personal hell is when people rush to board the mrt without giving me a chance to alight.

For some reason this annoys me a lot. These things happen even when it’s at 7 am on a Saturday. I’m struggling to understand such a behaviour because it’s not like the train is going to depart without you.

Mostly likely people are rushing to get a seat. I hope this is the only reason for such ungracious behaviours.

Just give me 5 seconds to alight. The world isn’t going to end in those 5 seconds and there are no zombies chasing after you.

Netizens’ comments

1. Happens at Jurong East every week day morning. I just shoulder bump them hard on my way out. Loved hearing the ‘tsk’ sounds on the way out
2. Sometimes, for the especially irritating ones that stand straight down the middle of the platform doors, I just walk up to them and stop directly in front of them. When others at the side board first and take all the seats they wanted…that’s my ecstacy.
3. I usually push my way through bumping into all of them and not looking back
4. The 4 horsemen of MRT:
   Entitled old person who cut queues to stand right in front of the line and board as if he was there first.
   0-common sense person who boards before other alight.
   Attachment issue person who will not let go of the overhead handrail, not even to give way to others by moving 1 inch from the rooted spot.
   Auntie talking to her friend via recorded chat message loudly as if to project her voice from Yishun to Punggol.
5. Just a few days ago, i saw an auntie running into the MRT, chasing after a seat saying out loud “mine mine mine mine!”. I kid you not, this happened right in front of my own eyes
