Inconsiderate acts that annoy you

[enchante]

Yes, there are so many inconsiderate ppl that we encounter everyday.

1) Neighbours who simply cant throw their rubbish into to the rubbish chute but simply leaving the rubbish on the floor next to the chute. Dunno what's their problem on this?

Just this morning I walked into the lift to see half the lift being taken up by old toys and shoes, probably thrown away by someone who didn't bother to bring it to the chute even.

I always met those inconsiderate people in the trains during peak hour..
Those who crossed their legs, expecting people to cross over it, those who stand with legs big big..
There was a lady who refused to move in so that people at the door can move in as well. I was beside her and accidentally touch her as i was being pushed by others who tried to squeeze in. She gave a "tsk" sound to show her irritation, I was mad, so i asked her to move in. Yes, she moved but not before giving a "tsk" sound again.

Irritating right?? !!!

i find that ppl walking ard with that oily head smell (unwashed hair) and BAD BREATH very inconsiderate. i can ignore bad manners etc but i cannot stop breathing.

Someone cutting his toe nails on the train and leaving the remains behind. It wasn't that crowded then, but that act should be done at home.

Sometimes, I see people eating on trains... saw this girl drinking and eating bread, but at least she did not leave anything behind. She took away everything, though overheard her telling her fren that this is her first meal of the day (it was evening time). Thing is, it is still being inconsiderate. Luckily, it was bread and not chicken rice or something.

1. Coughing/sneezing in public areas without covering their mouths
2. Smoking while standing in queues
3. Sending their sick kids to schools
4. Moving into the MRT/lift before people exited
5. Going to office to work when sick (can easily infect others)
6. Pretend to sit and don't give up their seat even when a heavily pregnant woman is standing right in front of them in the MRT

Singaporeans still have a lot to learn in order to become a gracious society.

i hate it when people kicks my chair non-stop in cinemas!! When i turned around and look at them, they still don't feel sorry at all!! Sickening!!

Another one is cut Queue!! There's once i was queuing at AXS machine (apparently there's 2 AXS machine) and we've formed one line for 2 machine. One stupid idiotic woman just happily walked to the other machine and starts to form her own Queue. Hello!!! She's blind and cannot see 3 of us already in 1 single Queue?!!! When the guy goes to the machine she's co-called queuing for, she still gave an angry look! When it's my turn, i over-take her and went to pay. And this time she's angry and started shouting at me!! Still dared to say i make my own rules! Hello~~ we came 1st and she herself made he own rules!

Not only smoking in Queues and also when walking in passageway or waiting for buses!! IRRITATING to the CORE!!!

My top lists are almost the same as most cotters

- those who wanna free pole dance in MRT (encountered alot of incidents like this)
- blasted their trendy ringtones as their fashionable Mp3
- Most hated one is still chit chatting after finishing the food where they know that alot of people are actually waiting. This happened this noon in chervron house.

in the crowded mrts, some people can be so inconsiderate to stand in such a way that their whole body is against/at the poles. hello..i need to grap onto something for support!

or those teenagers who switches on their music l-o-u-d. hello, not everyone enjoys the same genre of music as yours. there is such an invention such as earphones.

this particular incident.... my family and i were waiting for taxis at the taxi stand. there was this indian couple behind us. our taxi came and unfortunately, he does not wish to take us to our destination cos it was out of the way for him. so natural instinct, go to the next cab.
guess what? the indian couple stopped us and chided us, by saying it's THEIR taxi.
and i'm like "we came first in line. if you can see, the taxi in front of us did not want to take us. so the next cab is ours"
and the indian couple shook their heads and mumbled some words and was complaining to the family behind them.

gees.

i especially hate those who wouldn't give up their seat for someone who needs it more.

I experience that in LRT & MRT as well, i just hold the pole a bit higher but sometimes they realised it and will automatically lift their body off it.

As for the Taxi incident i find that you are not wrong in any way and our basic instinct is to ask the next available one if the previous one cant take the passenger. I wonder why the indian couple so worked up??

Does these counts:

- neighbours never bother to cover up the BIG burning tin after they burn the incense paper. Im okie if the smell isnt too strong, but she always left it uncovered and the whole corridor smells of smoke and the grey smoke clouds flood in my living room all the time! Now thats SMELL and VISION involved! It irritates the throat and made breathing so much harder. She dont seem to get it that its irritating and inconsiderate. My mum had already told her and her husband and even help to cover the tin. But i dont think its my mum's job to do it. They should be old enough to know that. and i felt they have no common sense and super inconsiderate - they are just besides my unit. Imagine that.

- the same neighbour. Never fails to slam the living room's door and gate for more than 5 times in a day. I dont know whats wrong with her. She seems like a looney and if my house were to have a toodle or kids, they sure gonna get shocks everyday.

- The neighbour above my unit always loves to hammer or stamp on their floor in the middle of the night. It's so annoying. How are we gonna sleep?!

- The neighbour on the right side. Her children's relative can say these to my mum "Aiya, shes old people already, help her l.ah. When you next time old already, you will surely need help one day." How my mum suppose to help when all the old lady wants was to talk to her children, see her children, seeking attention for her children and wants them for help? If the children finds her troublesome, wouldnt my mum felt worst to attend to all her needs and wants everyday and cope with all the craps/and whatever stuffs that she accused my mum?! If only theres someone who experience this themselves, they will then know how sickening, irritating and selfish they are.

- the old gangster who stood outside my neighbour's unit and smoke. I dont know what brand he is using, but the smell is extremely strong and filled my whole house. Stinks!!!! And he is a hongkee who speaks cantonese. No offence to that, but he speaks damn loud and full of vulgarities! I wonder where is his brain.

Overall, i have a very weird and inconsiderate neighbours

Summerain, i have the same neighbour as you who is staying just next door. As usual when they burn incense paper, we can smell it.

I find them kinda weird as well, as my house is at a corner, we have to cross their doorway to the staircase, they would just shut their windows rudely or closed their door with a loud bang, of cos sometimes it startled us.

Once i think their old granny passed away and they hanged the 2 white lanterns above the ceiling at the walkway! Excuse me, we doesnt want to walk under the lanterns, we did told them to shift it inside just outside their doorway but seem that our suggestion fall on dear ears. End up, we have to walk a semi-cirlce to avoid walking under it.

Our rubbish chute face directly to them & whenever they throw rubbish, they will slammed close it.

Really dont know what's in their mind????

its irritating right? Burning incense papers isnt a new thing to us but definitely not if the person keep leaving it unattended and dont even to cover it! And yes, i understand how you feel about the banging and shutting windows/door. They are so rude and whats wrong with walking pass their unit?! i think they suffer from some irritatable mental illness or something. So rude!

I havent really see or heard of people hanging white lanterns. Only see those red ones and the clothes which signifies auspicious events coming. And i thought nobody hang white lanterns? Oh its just that im sua-ku? And it certainly makes people who walk past their unit feels terribly weird.

Yes, it is extremely irritating but we have to bear with it, more or less we have got used to it since we have been living there for 10 years plus.

This is the first time i saw people hanging white lanterns but i think they have to hang there for 1 year for their granny who passed away? But I dont know the reason behind it. Come to think of it, the granny is quite a nice lady, in the past when i walked pass in the morning, she will smile & greet me as she is at the doorway doing some exercise.

more from this thread haahaa

Do you have a Pet Peeve?

[BubblyGal]

-_-" my neigh let their pet comes out of the place. And worst is their fur drops everywhere outside and we got the cat peeing outside our door a few times! The smell stinks.. end up i got to wash outside everyday

[Snowbell53]

my top annoyance has to be all the acts on the mrt, and on the roads..
1) hate people who plonk their body on the pole and even sandwich the pole between their bum crack.. I can be quite mean though, I'd just go head on and grab the pole where their back is.
2) hate people who aren't considerate enough to give up their seats for old folks. Either i'll give up mine even though it's further, or i'll "chope" the next available seat and beckon the elderly person to come over.
3) hate people who stood within the yellow lines and rush to get in before you could get out. Oh, and for this, i'll raise my voice and ask the person to give way.

And on the roads, TOP annoyance BIG TIME..
1) motorcyclists who drive on the white road markings. Since when did road markings became motorcycle driving path?!?! It's darn dangerous man, especially when they appear on blind spots, and it became difficult to change lanes... argh. Hate this alot! And in fact, almost alllll motorcylists are doing this now.

When alighting from MRT & LRT is the same, people tends to crowd the entrance & you have to squeeze close both of your arms or pull your bag to your front to exit the SMALL space that they left for you in the middle.

You mean by motorcyclists who ride in between vehicles on the road?
