Simple Things Like These

 

Because of an urgent job at office, I had to return back to office to pick up some stuffs to be proofread at home. The cab company made me wait on the line for 10 mins before informing me that all the cabs are busy. Bloody stupid cabs! I was very tired already after the class, and still cabs are being funny.

So I walk towards the MRT station wanting to take the train home. I was very tired already, and the last thing I need is some obstacle. Any bit will piss me off.

As I reached the final escalator leading to the station, a man came out of the gents, also walking towards the escalator. He is definitely doesn't look like a white collar worker. I was looking for a moment to be irritated. So I timed my pace to be about the same as his and we both reached the landing at the same time.

I wanted to see if he will let me step on the escalator first.

And he step. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

I was too tired to scold him. So I let out a loud "TSK!" as he walk down the escalator. Steps down, he turned back and look at me. Obviously, it took 3 seconds to get that message into his brain.

Aiyah, rush for what. It's late (11pm), the trains are not as frequent. And indeed he didn't get on the train anyway. End up he waited at the platform as me.

Can die is it? To let me step the train, to take his time to walk.

Humph.
