Reason 0006 : Reserving "Choping" Seats Using Tissue Packs?

I did not realise that my last post was more than a year ago. Time really flies huh? Anyhow, I know it is a bit late but the recent newspapar articles on how selfish Singaporeans were reserving or "choping" seats using tissue packs reminded me how pissed off I am about this selfish habit. Why can't they just leave someone behind to guard the places? If the person looking after the places feels irritated at having to fend off people asking if the empty seats are occupied, then just get a few more people to keep her company. Otherwise, just pack your food and go somewhere else to eat. I pity the people who are alone, in a hurry, and are standing stupidly carrying a tray waiting for a seat while empty seats are occupied by small tissue packs, umbrellas, and what not.

But that said, I think the people who are complaining should share some of the blame as well. if you are pissed off at this habit, like I am, just remove the tissues and throw them away the next time you see people engaging in this anti-social habit. Singaporeans are a spineless lot who shy away from confrontations generally and if they make noise at having their items removed, just stare them down or raise your voice. I guarantee they will back down 9 times out of 10.
