I was on the tram today and it was relatively crowded. Well, it was actually reasonably crowded, but this inconsiderate guy just stood in the middle, and he refused to move. So people who came on, like me, had to squeeze with everyone else who came on near the door. Reminded me of the situation in the Singapore, peak hour in the MRT and bus. There will always be someone who cannot seem to think about anybody else but themselves and block the passage way, like a clot. You know what people do with clots? They surgically remove them! They should put signs like that in trams, trains and buses. Next to the signs with give way to pregnant women, give up this seat to the elderly, no smoking, no eating, anybody who blocks the flow of human traffic within the carriage will be surgically removed. Somehow the word surgically has a scary tone to it, especially when backed by the government.
But I wasn't all annoyed on the tram. I also saw this woman knitting opposite me. It was so cool. Her fingers weaved in and out, back and forth, twirling strings, turning sticks. I mean, if I saw two sticks, and a ball of yarn, I would think, how hard can this possibly get? That is really some skill...worth putting on the resume perhaps.
