MAN ACCUSES GRAB RIDER OF EATING HIS FOOD, GETS BASH BY NETIZENS

0

Ordered Grab food, The delivery guy delivery mode is walking, but it started raining. He told me there will be a delay so i told him there is a shortcut if he takes the underpass from the mrt and there is a sheltered walkway.

He ignores my message and decides to sit at the restaurant for 10 minutes. I repeated my message again, he doesn’t respond and cancelled my order. Which means he probably ate my food.

I don’t understand, am i in the wrong? By taking the sheltered shortcut he would would be able to complete my order quicker and be able to complete more orders when the day ends.

I guess he dosent like to be bossed around thats why he chose to do grabfood, don’t know if he will progress much in the future.

Here are what netizens think:

  • This is the stupidest complaint I’ve heard. There may be other reasons why your order was cancelled. Since you know the bloody shortcut then you go walk and buy the food yourself. If you can’t even do that, ur the bigger failure in life!
  • I’m not sure why people seem to bash the poster.I think the issue is that the delivery guy did not update the customer that he will be cancelling, or is unable to deliver the food. He simply cancelled it.That’s not right. If there is a genuine reason to cancel, inform the customer. Then cancel.Nothing wrong with cancellation; it’s how it’s done.
  • Delivery man late I ask no hurry safety first I can waiting and give him a drinking water this is what we care than they were bliss you
  • So funny bcos those who order food delivery always assume food will come on time or ASAP. Why? Cos u paid $1 more for delivery? Get a life!
  • You assumed that he probably ate your food. He’s at the restaurant. He probably gave the food back. It’s his safety, even if you give him shortcut. He can choose to proceed to deliver with your shortcut. If he doesn’t choose to, it’s his choice.You assume too much. Guess here guess there. You got trust issues is it
  • By seeing what you wrote showed that you have no sympathy to others and i guess your brain is also very short cut and no future! If really as you assume the delivery personnel cancel your food and eat, take it as a gesture of kindness, giving him a free meal during raining days. Or even give him more time to deliver and ask them to be safe or ride/ walk safe.

GF SUSPECTS BF IS NOT STRAIGHT AS HE REJECTS ALL HER ADVANCES

0

hi everyone, would like to seek opinions if is it normal for my boyfriend to reject my S advances?

As every time when im at his place or he is at my place and my parent’s arent home and i try to ask him to do it with me, he rejects me and says he wants to wait till we’re married before doing it.

I’m his 1st girlfriend and his 27, and we’ve been together for 2 years already so I don’t know why is he so shy, is my boyfriend secretly gay? As i can’t think of any guy who would reject their girlfriend when their girlfriend is the one initiating it, and i did say whether he wants to use a rubber anot it is up to him, but he acts like a wuss and keeps rejecting me.

How do i get him to man up and do it?

Here are what netizens think:

  • He is keeping his virginity for his one true love whom he is going to marry. Nothing wrong with it . Premarital S used to be the wrong thing to do until ppl normalised it and start thinking not having it, is abnormal.
  • Does he have a religion that he adheres to closely? Or his family has very strong moral values? He’s a keeper. Respecting you and your body and yet you do not even appreciate it. Just because a guy doesn’t want to have S with you you think he’s gay?? That’s a very toxic mentality. There’s nothing abnormal with not wanting to have S before marriage and people who have this value shouldn’t be shamed into thinking there’s something wrong with them.
  • Hmmmm, did you manage to check or visually see before that it is functioning tool.
  • Don’t blame yourself for wondering what’s wrong with him. He could be a monk. See if you can break him. Be the dominant one!
  • Your bf is a real keeper. He’s mature, and he doesn’t want the risk of having a baby outside marriage.

BUS DRIVER SEEN CHASING DOWN PASSENGER AT JURONG WEST

A passenger was wasting the time of a bus driver by starting an unnecessary complaint on the bus.

The bus told the passenger “I got timing, you not happy you go down”.

Bus drivers have a tight schedule to follow and the bus driving job is not so easy.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Lucky is not SBS TRANSIT. If this driver is sbs transit are. Sure get punished by sbs on it. Public bus driver not easy job. As passenger like to video here n there plus complain to LTA why the bus come together n so on. Do u all know yrs complain is not help bus driver n yrself. The more u complain the bus will need to drive even slowly than before.
  • Hopefully tts will investigate properly . As I am also a bc , we will not behave like this cause we want to protect our own rice bowl 
  • My heart to the bus captain. I know how he feel & it’s not easy.

MAN WITH DEGREE FEELS OFFICE WORK IS STRESS, WANTS TO BE PLUMBER

0

I am a recent grad and have been working for a big company for about a year in an office job. Feeling really mentally stressed and burnt out. I have been wanting to change some job which I am overqualified for, like a diploma level job or a blue collar job like plumber or carpenter.

I feel that companies in sg have overly high demands on employees in degree white collar jobs. We usually have to multitask and take on a wide jobscope. On top of that, we still have CCAs like organising meetings and events, writing minutes, being in some commitee etc which everyone have to do on top of their already packed jobscope. Because of all these demands, I often have to work overtime or do extra work at home to clear my load. I have known from my many friends that this is very common across many different companies and industries.

I envy those in non-degree jobs such in admin or support roles or blue collar ones who only need to focus on one jobscope and their work is quite routine. They can usually leave on time, don’t have to bring work home and don’t need to do much CCAs. If I join these jobs, I surely will need to take a big paycut but hey, life isn’t just all about work right? Many of these people work these jobs their whole life and are able to support a family, buy a house etc.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Changi Aviation industry have a lot of mid to blue collar job. Comfortable environment too. Pay range from 2k to 4k plus. Technology or white collar 3k to 5k range.
  • It’s ultimately down to whether u’re ok with it… And u REALLY gotta be ok with it cos it could be a path of no return…U take that path, u find the pay too low, u’re gonna face challenges if u wanna transition back to a grad position cos employers will wonder why the heck u took a paycut to do a brain-dead job in the first place. It would be time wasted.Not all employers will be willing to let u “try”. And after doing “relaxed” jobs for awhile, u’ll find it even harder to adjust back to a demanding, high-pressure environment.Not to mention that u would have lost years of experience, and you would be starting in the same level as fresh grads younger than u and more hungry than u.
  • Be a tutor, stress free work.

0

The husband of a fourth grade teacher, who died trying to protect her students during the Texas elementary school shooting, has died from a heart attack.

The husband, Joe Garcia, was in the midst of preparing the funeral for his wife of 24 years, Mrs Irma Garcia, when he suddenly collapsed and passed away on 26 May.

The cousin of his late wife, Debra Austin, said that she believes her brother-in-law died from a broken heart and losing the love of his life.

The man’s nephew, John Martinez, shared the heartbreaking news onto his Twitter account @fuhknjo, saying:

“EXTREMELY heartbreaking and come with deep sorrow to say that my Tia Irma’s husband Joe Garcia has passed away due to grief,

i truly am at a loss for words for how we are all feeling, PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY, God have mercy on us, this isn’t easy.”

The couple, who were married for 24 years and met when they were in high school, leaves behind four children.

DESMOND TAN – THERE IS ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF CHICKEN FOR EVERYONE

0

Minister of State for Home Affairs, and Sustainability and the Environment, Desmond Tan, said in a Facebook post that there is enough supply of chicken for everyone in Singapore.

He urged people not to hoard and buy responsibly, explaining that surge buying will empty shelves in the short term as the supply chain will require time to catch up.

He assuaged fears of shortages, saying that Singapore still has supplies of the remaining 70% of frozen chicken from other countries (the impacted 30% of chicken supplies comes from Malaysia).

Here is what he said

[Chicken Supply in SG]

One third of our chicken imports are from Malaysia, and almost all are live chickens which are slaughtered and chilled in Singapore.

With Malaysia’s suspension of chicken exports, we should expect some disruptions in the supply of fresh and chilled chicken.

However, be assured that our supply of the other 70% of frozen chicken from other countries has not been impacted.

I visited NTUC FairPrice’s Fresh Food Distribution Centre earlier today, and observed consignments of frozen chicken arriving as per usual, and well-stocked shelves filled with frozen chicken and alternatives.

While the Government continues to closely monitor the situation and work with stakeholders to ensure adequate supply, we can also play our part by only buying what we need.

I encourage everyone to be open to other options such as frozen chicken, processed chicken like canned chicken and chicken nuggets, and other protein types.

There is adequate supply for everyone, so let us buy responsibly and do not hoard. Surge buying will result in empty shelves in the short term as the supply chain will take time to catch up.

I am confident we will be resilient and adaptable to such disruptions and get through them together.

NEEDY FAMILY WITH RUSTY FRIDGE GETS NEW ONE FROM KIND SAMARITANS

Local activist Gilbert Goh shared how a needy family received a brand new fridge to replace their old rusty one, thanks to the help of some donors.

Here is what he said

Thanks to our donors, we could replace the defective hand-me-down rusty fridge of a needy household living in government-subsidized housing with a brand-new one costing close to $500.

We also donated our Ramadan fund of $100 so she can purchase food and necessities during the fasting period.

For the record, as much as we prefer to purchase brand-new white goods for needy households, we welcome usable second-hand fridge, TV, washing machine among others so that everyone can play a part in our community to bless one another.

We also need to respect our needy folks so that they receive the best from us but not some run-down defective hand-me-down items. 

Thus, our first-choice preference is still brand-new items and we treasure any donors who want to bless the needy community with such purchases.

The average cost of brand-new items are:-

1. Mattress – $30 to $50

2. Fan standing – $40 to $60

3. TV 21-in – $200 to $250

4. Fridge 2-door – $400 to $500

5. Washing machine – $300 to $400

Brand-new items inspires respect and hopefully this incentivizes the needy to work hard for a better future for themselves.

Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.

MAN TOOK GRAB TO SEND SICK MUM TO HOSPITAL, DRIVER KEEPS KPKB ABOUT LOW FARE

A Facebook user, Prema Sugesh, shared how he booked a Grab ride to send his mother who was not feeling well at the time, to the hospital.

However, the driver spent the entirety of the journey complaining about the low fare that he would be getting for the trip, even after his mother told him to stop talking as she was feeling nauseous.

The driver then stopped them outside the hospital instead of turning into the A&E, and he asked what if his mother had fainted outside.

Here is what he said

My mother was unwell hence we booked a grab to NUH a&e throughout the journey this guy was complaining to my mother about how at this hour he’s only getting $13.10 for this trip

my mother told him that I’m not well people stop talking as she’s feeling very nauseated but he wouldn’t stop complaining!

My mother could barely walk and he stopped my mother outside NUH saying that he can’t turn in to the a&e! What if my mother fainted outside??

(I’ve attached a video for people who have difficulty accepting that there’s a drop off point outside NUH) 🤡

He explained that the man’s family was in “dire straits and can’t get a bailor to raise the amount”, however, District Judge Terence Tay rejected the plea and said that it was not a reason to reduce bail.

The other accused, 20-year-old Muhammad Sajid Saleem, was not offered bail, and the two of them appeared in court via a video feed.

Both men are expected to return to court on 23 June.
