On Monday, while taking 852 to school, something happened on the bus.
When the bus reached the stadium stop, this caucasian man flagged the bus. Then he took a step up, after which he looked at the back and realised there was another bus, but I think he couldnt see that it was an 855, so he boarded the bus officially, then the 855 zoom past.
Then he asked the bus driver whether the bus that just passed was 855, the driver replied that he was not sure. Then, he came down to sit
right beside me. And apparently, he is sweaty and angry. Then he keep asking whether the bus in front was 855 or not. The woman in front of us said it was.
Then the most amazing thing happened. He complained like a typical Singaporean, maybe much worse. He was saying how he waited for 855 for one hour, and he saw 3-4 854, at least 2 851 and 852 and 853 and 969 and 965 zoom past but not 855. But this was strange, because when I walked from the bus stop at Northpoint to the bus interchange, I saw an 855 departing.
But never mind, the next part is, there was this auntie sitting opposite us, and she said, you must go and complain. (Like a typical auntie) And the man say, 'YES! I must complain to the bus interchange to increase the frequency of 855 blah blah blah", and saying something like, 'What if the people who need to work has to take 855?" Oh. What a great man.
Then he complained, as usual, with his loud voice about how the 855 didnt stop for him. But the fact is that he didnt even flag in the first place. He thinks that
all buses should stop at
all stops to see for passengers. And obviously, if he hadnt flagged for 852, he would have gotten that 855. Hello, who on earth will stop for no reason? If you didnt flag the bus, thats your problem. Change your spectacles if you need to. The bus would not stop for a man who cant make his own decision to take which bus. ZZZ
To think that a caucasian can complain so much like a Singaporean auntie.
And, he was playing with his fingers and what not. And think of the trauma I have to endure throughout the whole journey. ZZZ
