Irritants (to Horni)

Just woke up from power nap, but still feeling sleepy, hence, I shall blog. (Reading HRM reading is tiring.)

I think the world is changing, people (especially the younger generations) are disregarding manners and consideration for others. Here are some irritating actions I've noticed.
  1. People no longer wait for others to exit before entering (for lifts and MRTs)
  2. People are no longer thankful for the kind bus uncles who waited for them while they strolled to board the bus. (Will it kills them just to say a simple "thank you"? What the...)
  3. People talk and laugh loudly in libraries, worse of all, DESPITE REPEATED requests from other library users to lower down their volume (Sure, they can make noise, but at least choose the appropriate location)
    I heard a guy deliberately whistling LOUDLY in the library today. XYZ.
  4. People eating in MRTs (pls leh.. It should be a common knowledge that we can't eat in MRTs)
  5. Singaporeans bad-mouthing about Singapore in front of foreigners. (I have once seen a guy in MRT telling his friend from France that Singapore food sucks. Please loh! Send him to France and see if he will miss our Char Kway Teow! Moreover, will it kill him to portray a good image to our foreign friends for just a few days? People like him kills our tourism industry!) and ya, I am nationalistic. :) (Though I seldom watch our NDP, neither do I hang out the Singapore flat every year.)

Sure, I am not perfect myself, but shouldn't we all improve ourselves to be more graceful friends/ family/ citizens/ public?

Updates:
I saw a PRIMARY SCHOOL girl SPITTING in the BUS today!! She was sick, and she went *cough cough cough pui* repeatedly. And you didn't read wrongly. She did spit on the bus as in left her spit on the bus, without tissue or anything, just spit! OMG!!! I wanted to confront her but was a bit scared that she will spit on me instead, so I chickened out.

Seriously, I think the children nowadays are outrageous.
