My wife did grocery shopping and brought my 3-year-old daughter along. After which, she went to the coffeeshop nearby to get coffee. Being in the queue with my girl in her stroller, naturally she occupied more space in the queue. The stroller was at her 5 o’clock position.
An uncle joined the queue behind her but for some reason, he pushed the stroller aside. My wife was shocked to see the stroller moving. She looked back only to see the uncle’s hand on the handle pushing it away from my wife.
Wife: “Why did you push my stroller”
Uncle: “Oh, i want to queue”
Wife: “Ok but why push my stroller? Can’t you wait?”
Uncle: ” Shut up you f-g b-d”
I kid you not. My wife just froze and decided not to react and went home and called me. I got furious and immediately left my office and rushed down to confront the MF.
When I confronted him, he said “nothing wrong with just touching the stroller. Never touch your daughter or wife what”.
I also confirmed that he called my wife a f-g b-d because he confessed to it. His reason as to why he said it was because my wife was rude by asking “cant you wait?” Expletives were exchanged.
Out of nowhere, presumably with him not able to say anything else, here comes the xenophobic part:
Uncle: Shut up you f-g pinoy.
Me: WTF, I am Singaporean you fk.
Uncle: You come here take PR, not Singaporean.
Me: I was born here, pink IC, i did my NS. I’m Singaporean you dumb fk.
Everything is wrong. I would not let anyone push my daughter’s stroller without informing me or asking for my permission. Would you?
Are boomers devoid of manners? A simple ‘excuse me’ would have suffice.
Also, I am a Malay Singaporean, and with so many Filipinos here, a Malay person could be mistaken as a Filipino. But I don’t think that is something he should point out when race/nationality has nothing to do with what just happened. In no way, did I point out his race or nationality when I was spewing expletives at him.
