Reason 0005 : The Button Works The Very First Time

I was waiting for the lift the other day when I saw this young lady come up after me. Being the only person before she came along, I had pressed the button for the lift already. Hence, the button was lighted. This lady (looks like an office lady, by the way) went near the lift, saw the already lighted button, and pushed it a few more times!!! This seems to be a perculiar Singaporean habit and I was thinking, ''what a complete idiot''.

I have always wondered what these people were thinking when they do this. Is this supposed to make the lift go any faster? Being in a cranky mood that morning, I decided to tease her a little. I pushed the button about 10 more times, saying ''faster leh'' each time I did it, in a sarcastic tone of voice. It was all just to mock her and to see what her reaction was.

Her reaction was priceless. She knew that I was mocking her and she glared at me, but I just smiled evenly at her and then ignored her. I knew she couldn't and wouldn't do anything because she was just like the rest of the cowardly, spineless Singaporeans out there, choosing to keep quiet whenever something upleasant happens.

what a lousy guy. Seriously,I like pressing buttons, and its not for the lift to come faster. I just like pressing them. What's the issue here? GO and die man. If I ever see you, be aware that you will get a broken nose.

Who was the more unpleasant person here? You or the young lady?

"the button was lighted." Quite funny when you complain about others not having good grammar and you can't even say 'lit'. "the button was lighted."? Seriously? That just makes me sad.

Poor lady, having to endure your stinky presence. Why do you mock people just because of that? Good for nothing.

And how does seeing a lady pressing the elevator button more than once ruin your life? Why complain about a matter so small? It's not like she's pressing a button that'll send you to your death or something.
