♥ Targeted Ramblings -.-"
Teenagers nowadays can hardly take a seat on the mrt in peace. When you sit there and notice the people coming in, many will stare at us, especially those aunties in their 40s or 50s. Many times, we know that there is no need to give up our seats to them as we can see that they are well able to stand without the need to take a seat. But they'll always stare at us with that kind of look that says that we teenagers should offer our seats to them because they are more senior than us. If this is so, wouldn't we have to give up our seats to anyone since majority of the people are older than us? It's not like I wouldn't give up my seat to anyone who needs it more than me. All those who knows me knows that I am always looking out for those whom I can give up my seat to. But everytime I see this kind of aunties with that look, I would just look at them at then go back to whatever I was doing.
Speaking of aunties, Esmond that day smsed me something he witnessed when he was at Popeye's with his family. He heard a few aunties exclaiming in disgust when they saw uncleared trays on the table. Their first assumption was that those were the doings of teenagers. That's what disgusts me about aunties. Anything happens and they'll go: "Must be the teenagers ah!"
Oh, please... I'm willing to bet more aunties than teenagers don't clear their trays after a meal. And it's definitely not because Singapore is experiencing an ageing population.
All in all, many aunties just disgusts me. They're the ultimate kiasu Singaporeans I described in my previous post. They like to gossip, and mostly about things related to teenagers. I would thus conclude that the existence of aunties is to drive teenagers mad.
And kudos to Esmond for exclaiming loudly after his meal at Popeye's: "A teenager is clearing his tray!" for those aunties to hear
I drafted this blog post on the mrt while I was on the way home from work, and I saw an auntie dash off her seat like about 1 minute before the train reached the station. Can't say that I'm totally wrong about aunties... Lol...
Oh! And did I mention that when getting up buses, aunties like to look at the person right in front of her like that person just deprived her of the pleasure of getting up the bus earlier? Lol...
When aunties decide to take a day off from these antics, they still drive us teenagers mad. We have a saying that goes: "If you can't beat them, join them"
I guess the aunties' saying goes this way:
"If you can't beat them, make them join you" -.-"
I'll explain how it works. Have you ever noticed how an aunty or group of aunties(not senior citizens, just those in their 40s or 50s) like to jam up a whole pathway with their incredible speed?
