ok, so its been ages..

whats new? i moved out. :)

anyway, i'm just annoyed at the way people behave sometimes. i was at the supermarket the other day, (or was it just yesterday?).. stocking up on instant noodles, and toilet paper.. wth.. heh..

so i asked this cashier girl for a marlboro menthol lights.. she went to the cigarette counter, got me a marlboro lights.. i told her again.. nicely.. marlboro 'menthol' lights.. she went, and came back again with a marlboro menthol... when again i told her what i wanted, she gave me a face, so i followed her to the counter to help her since it was obvious her eyesight wasn't on focus at that time.. when i pointed out the right one.. she said "thats what i got just now WHAT".. so i decided to point out that she got me a darker green pack instead of the lighter green one.. and she said "aiya, all the same what.. lights, menthol lights.. still lights what".

i'm not done by the way.. :)

sooo, i could have easily walked away without paying over 20 bucks for my groceries (because she stupidly threw all my groceries in the bag without scanning the items).. being the nice person i am..( i just had to slap my niceties on her rude little attitude).. i waited for a couple of minutes for her to finally realise i was standing there holding up 2 big bags. and i told her that she forgot to charge me for the groceries..

after paying for my groceries, i didnt receive a single thank you, not that i expected one.. but it was nice to see her all flushed and drowning in cold sweat from the embarrassment of receiving such honesty from someone she was just rude to. i saved her over 20 bucks, which would've been cut from her paycheck.

its nice to be nice..

Thomas Hobbes gave a pessimistic view of the human condition in his famous "Leviathan". "Solitary, poor, nasty, brutal and short". I don't disagree. :)
