Train Station Etiquette


When people think that our most convenient transportation, is in fact the most disastrous places where you see the obvious idiots and dumb asses around. The train station during peak hours, sardine-packed with busy people making their way to work and out for leisure purposes, the last thing you wanna spot is someone obstructing the passage way.

It is common sense when one approaches the exit gate, he/she has got to have the EZ-Link card handy. NOT, I must highlight this repeatedly. NOT NOT NOT to station in front of the exit gate, with a hand in your bag, rummaging for it. The ultimatum is when they know the card isn't working, these idiots ambitiously kept trying it a million times to scan on the gate, common sense tells us to head to the Passenger Counter to get the card checked, but these morons just dun get it.

Ladies with handbags, is it that tedious to have the card kept at a convenient spot in the bag where its reachable for you? Some bitches, flipping and flopping their bags on the gate scan, hoping for the sensor on the gate to read the card in their bag. Is it not embarrassing to hold up the queue behind for your selfish and silly action?

Seriously, our train station should hired specific individuals as station traffic control. He/she should have certain quality like, height, weight, just like a club bouncer, carrying a whistle, patrolling the station looking for inconsiderate passengers. Blowing the whistle to signal them that its a bad move. It'll be super if they carry a loudspeaker. Shouting across the escalator at idiots who dun keep left (left - for standing, right - for people walking up the escalator), bitches doing the bag stir-frying action, faulty card situation, baby trolley maniacs, boarding passengers who dun give way, not standing behind the yellow line. We need to teach them the hard way if they can't follow simple instructions.
