Ugly people

And i am not talking about physical appearance.

this happened to me just now. My family and 2 other families decided to have lunch at kuishinbo in suntec as our weekend gathering, and to allow all our kids to hang with each other.

what was a happy event was marred by a small event with a lady and her family. What happened was that both our families (i had 7 in mine) and her (she had 5 incl an elderly lady in a wheelchair) waiting for the lift. When the lift arrived, it was large enough to accomodate both sets of families, if the pram and the wheelchairs were arranged properly.

so my wife asked them to kindly move the wheelchair to one side (instead of being in the center) so that our pram could go in the other half of the lift. This evidently infuriated the lady, and when it was time to get off for them, she shouted rudely "get out!" at her helpers.

i think this show the lady in very poor light, as the lift is a common lift and if it were possible to share it, why not?

i don't know if this lady is singaporean on or not, and i don't think it matters. What matters more is that people need to be more compassionate and respect each other. What this lady has shown is a lack of compassion and repect for us and her helpers (by shouting at them to get "back" at us.

ugly. I think graciousness needs to be a subject to be taught in school since there seems to be a lack of it amongst adults in singapore.
