GUY ASK WHY ARE S’POREANS RUDE TO EACH OTHER & GET ANGRY OVER SMALL THINGS

Why are we so rude to one another, even to fellow Singaporeans?

We get angry over the littlest of things. Late arrival of food order, long queues, minor delays. We want things instantly that any slight personal inconvenience equates to a reason to explode. For some they they feel as tho they’re entitled to be angry at others. But why? What drives this hatred? And when people help to open the door or hold the lift, no thank you or anything.

We seem selfish. As tho we place our priorities over others situations. Like at Mcd, you know it’s crowded and naturally it’s expected to wait a while, yet you have Singaporeans yelling and say “Why so slow where’s my food!!”

Or that grab rider who delivered the food late because there was a hold up at the restaurant but was threatened by the customer that he’d leave a bad review ( I know cause my dad encountered such issues on multiple occasions when doing grab and he had to apologise non stop when it isn’t even his problem)

What drives this entitled rude behaviours?

Netizens’ comments

  1. There is a correlation between aggression and population density. The more people there are per sq metre, the higher the aggressiveness of the people. In urban cities, people tend to be more hostile when compared to rural areas.
  2. I guess perhaps this may be controversial, but for decades we just assumed that things would work perfectly and on point. Maximum efficiency is the way Singapore has done a lot of things, particularly economically, so that doesn’t leave much regard to happiness or satisfaction.
    Before, I would get annoyed at things like trains coming in 7 minutes, order taking a couple extra minutes, 7/11 butter chicken biryani out of stock.
    Now after having settled abroad and seen things like trains down delayed by hours, workers going on strike where i can’t get take out or convenience store food quality being absolutely abysmal, borderline unhyegnic: I’ve begun to take things a little more positively here.
    Some people pass the age old adage, “just because someone else has it worse doesn’t mean that we ignore our shortcomings”, well yes I agree, but that should not stop us from being a bit more thankful and positive in the things we’ve achieved till now. I always make sure to smile and say basic words of courtesy to customer facing roles so it might ease their day. I’m not looking for brownie points for basic courtesy, but just trying to say that change comes from within.
