five annoyances
Five (well, six) types of annoying people:
1. People who hang up after a phone conversation without saying goodbye.
2. People who, after all these years of embarrassing (but evidently necessary) public courtesy campaigns, still cannot wait graciously at the side of the train carriage doors for the passengers to alight before rushing in.
3. People who are evidently able-bodied but insist on taking up valuable space in a small elevator (the ONLY elevator) so that you and your sleeping kid in a stroller can't get in. Especially when the escalators are a mere 10 metres away.
4. People who are over-indulgent about their child's every burp, tantrum, or whine. You're raising another human being who will someday take up more space and air in an already overcrowded city. Do a good job and don't create another entitled 'prince' or 'princess' who will then grow into people in points number 2 and 3 above.
5. People who look over my shoulder, uninvited, when I'm texting, reading, eating or looking at my laptop screen. Go the fuck away and mind your own business!
While I'm all riled up, I may as well add:
6. People who seem to think the words 'fats' (e.g. 'Lose fats! Eat healthy!') and 'stuffs' ('Buy my stuffs!') are grammatically correct and should be used in everyday conversation.
