The world, or the island, for that matter, is full of such people. I have had experienced poor services, horrible attitudes, and lousy attitudes all in two weeks (and it is not even the end of the second week).

Could it be I am just plain unlucky? I had been late for classes three times since last week - thanks to the bus service 74, with an acclaimed waiting time of 4 to 13 minutes. For these three times, I had waited - with much annoyance and intention to murder, but of course - 35 to 45 minutes before the bus finally arrived. As a result, I had to miss my PR lecture and suffer the unnecessary embarrassment of being late for classes. And this would not have happened; I have had timed my travelling schedule and am supposed to be in class promptly.

SBS and Tibs buses.

And yes, I have launched a formal, if not harsh, complaint against the bus service.

People I meet nowadays come equipped with an attitude they deemed either as "cool" or "arrogance", as well as lousy manners that creates questions about their upbringing. Not that I possess a friendly attitude or good manners either. But when one is being rude, say, stepping on another's foot whether by accident or on purpose, or demands a stranger to pass him/her a bag supposed to belong to him/her, one tends to expect a simple apology and/or helpful gratitude, in very least verbal forms such as "I'm sorry" and "thank you".

Dude, get some manners!

And no, I'm getting none of that and hence I am in a even lousier mood than these people.

And yes, my temper intensifies and this makes me even more tired, on top of my exhausting schedule filled with classes, projects and work. I just hope I don't fall down too soon.

And no, no suggestions on what can be done to these people and services. I am yet rich nor influential enough to change anything now other than to complain here.


Apey bite.
