Ungraciousness in Her Full Glory
What has a pregnant woman got to do to get a seat in the trains????Well, maybe if I was travelling on a train a few months back I can understand that I mite be mistaken for jus another fat girl. But now, in my full 7 mths 2 weeks bloatedness, can't they not see that I'm pregnant??For 3 trips now, I wasn't offered a seat in the train. I'm pissed. Am I not entitled to one? Huh, people?!I'm sorry, maybe you able-bodied people need the seats more than us.To that guy with the bulging biceps creeping out from your sleeves, ya, u sure need that seat. After all that pumping and sweating, I'm sure those muscles on ur arms n legs are good only for show. It will buckle under the pressure of standin up for ur journey ya?To those kids in uniforms, I'm sure after all that studyin will make u tired. Sitting down in your classrooms for 6 hrs straight can be so demanding. And also, that bag full of books is oh so heavy on your young shoulders isn't it??To the working adults in smart, crispy officethingies, I pity that you have to stay up all nite in this career-driven society that you just have got to sleep in the trains.To the lady all dressed up so poshly for your boss, thanks for pushing me while I was getting off the train. Why don't I jus wear skates so that it'll be easier for you. And you lady, who did de same while I was steppin on the escalator. Why don't I jus roll and tumble down, huh? It's faster that way.To the apek who's busy digging for gold. No thanks. I wouldn't want your seat. Jus plain eww..To those busy sms-ing, reading newspaper, yakkin on the phone, daydreamin, staring on the floor trying to avoid eye contact with me (if only u got laser eyes. the hole you can create on the floor will be good for you to jump into). To these people, I have to say, go to school. Once u learn to recognize the alphabet, practise reading the yellow sign board u can find above one of the seats. Can't seem to see it? Then you ought to get your eyeballs dug out, poked into a skewer, marinated with bbq sauce, grilled and fed to the dogs.Oh ya, if u were wonderin why we pregnant people can't take the cab if we really wanted a seat, then can u explain the atrocious driving habits those cabbies have? Sudden brakes, jerking driving, swerving in and out of lanes, changin of lanes without signalling, juz to name a few.So thanks people for being such gracious Singaporeans. We sure need people like you around. To all expecting ladies, I share your plight.p/s: This is just a sincere comment from a pissed pregnant lady who juz took the train 2 days ago after a long time. The experience made her realise that more and more Singaporeans are ugly. No intentions to make a big hoohah out of this.
