Young People Nowadays Really Got No Brain Or What? Boy Drops VAPE in Grab Driver’s Car, Then Texts Back Asking For It Like Nothing Wrong
A Grab driver recently shared a baffling encounter with a young passenger that had netizens shaking their heads — and laughing in disbelief.
According to the driver, Alvin Neo, he had given a young boy a ride the night before. During the journey, the boy accidentally dropped something in the car. Alvin, being helpful, even paused his trip to help the boy search for it but couldn’t find anything. The boy then left his contact number, and Alvin promised to do a more thorough search in the morning.
When the driver checked his car the next day, he did indeed find something — and shortly after, received a message from the boy that left him speechless.
“Hi sir, left my vape in the car too. Dropped from my pocket. Sorry for the trouble.”
Wait, what? The boy just casually admitted, over text, that he had left an illegal vape in someone else’s car. As if it’s no big deal. Not an earbud. Not a wallet. A vape. In Singapore, where possessing and using vapes is illegal under the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act.
This level of blur or bochap behaviour had commenters facepalming hard.
Netizens React: “Report Police, You Might Save His Life”
The post, which quickly went viral, drew a flurry of comments. Some joked about passing the boy’s number to ah longs, while others seriously suggested reporting the incident to the police — both to protect the driver and to teach the youth a lesson.
“Please collect your items at police station,” one commenter quipped sarcastically.
Another user chimed in, “Report police. You may save his life. Vaping kills especially K-pop,” mocking the trend of younger people mimicking Korean pop idols’ habits.
Several commenters highlighted the legal implications. Possessing a vape in Singapore can land you with a $2,000 fine, and even more if you’re caught selling or importing them. So the boy might have just texted his way into legal trouble — self-incriminating evidence, delivered directly to someone else’s inbox.
Public Sentiment: Too Entitled, Too Ignorant?
This story, while somewhat funny, also underscores a deeper problem: a growing sense of entitlement or ignorance among some younger Singaporeans. Whether it’s vaping, reckless social media behaviour, or a general disregard for the law, many older citizens are beginning to feel that some youths really don’t “use their brain”.
And let’s be real — in a country where chewing gum is banned and even jaywalking is risky business, how did this young man think retrieving his vape from a Grab driver was going to end well?
Next time, maybe think before texting. Or better yet — don’t vape.
