I was otw back to SG via JB CIQ – Woodlands checkpoint when this woman shamed me and directly accused me of cutting the Q while waiting for bus 170|160 earlier yesterday 23|4 at 0900 hrs.
I was queuing behind an elderly man. As we were about to board the bus we noticed that there was another bus approaching so him and I abruptly stepped back to the queue since we decided to ride the newly arrived bus.
This woman who happened to be behind us was profusely staring at me which brought me to a bafflement. In spite of that – I just brushed it off and moved towards the bus while still queuing behind the elderly man. when she suddenly said followed by a sharp stare “Excuse Me, Don’t cut the Q!”
That’s when I realized why she glowered at me. She freakin’ thought I cut the queue! I had explained to her my side but she keeps on shaming me til other passengers and the bus driver heard it. I immediately called the elderly man’s attention to testify that I was behind him all the while.
The elderly man gently said “Yes, She was behind me” and that’s when she elevated to a more aggresive demeanor and again, shouted – “Excuse Me!” I was so puzzled why she was so rude and didn’t even apologize even after knowing her mistake.
Nevertheless, I posted this for awareness that we should be kind and treat each other with respect. I understand that I should not be posting her photo but this might call her attention to be a NICE PERSON whatever circumstances she may have.
Thank you and Have a good day.
Netizens’ comments
- I think, it is also wrong for you to be using your phone to take photos at the checkpoint. There are signs there stating no photography.
- (OP) Totally understand your point and I acknowledge where you are coming from – but It’s sad to know that you condemned me for taking photos rather than to understand the whole thoughts of the posting.
