MRT morons

Have you ever wondered or noticed tat whilst you're on the Mass Rapid Transit (or as we Singaporeans know it as MRT). I see this every time I board the train.

Be it crowded or not, people like to mass around the entrance/exits. Then, they never like to move in further, towards the middle of the carriage.

What catches my interest is that I can imagine what these people must be saying in their heads. Here are some comments that I imagine them saying.

"She should move in, she came first"

Girl glares at guy "Tat donkey is a tar por, HE should move, not me, the pretty woman"

"I stop next stop, why should i move?"

"i shall stare into my book/newspaper/magazine/Harry Potter novel, so I don't have to start moving"

"move in, very malu one, all the people watching me, one. ai dontch wan"

This is despite repeated reminders from the nice people at SMRT, to "pls move towards the centre of the carriage for the convenience of all passengers".

Yes, you won't:
  • get rich
  • get young
  • get gf/bf
  • have a seat most times
  • get an Oscar award
  • get to meet Tony Leung (star of Tokyo Raiders)

BUT when you move towards the centre, your little action allows for one more person to get to their destination on time.

That person might be rushing to Changi Airport to send his/her beloved to another country and/or trying to visit a sickloved one in hospital (don't try that "why can't they get a taxi if they're in a hurry"). Another possibility is that being on-time for work (work performance is a seperate issue altogether) might garner one, more bonus? Ain't tat true?

Me ain't guilty of it. Me very good, me move in towards the centre of the carriage. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
