Clueless People

[Duke Red]

My intention of creating this thread is to bitch about seemingly clueless people I have come across. This may be attributed to lack of education, awareness, exposure or whatever. I'll start off with a couple of examples:

1) The Mind Reading Elevator - I used to work in a 15 story building and whenever I enter the elevator to go up, I usually just head straight to the back. This is because I'm on the highest floor and I usually can't be bothered with pressing the button until I'm further up. So anyway there was this particular day that I entered the elevator and performed my usual routine of going straight to the back. In the lift was a Malay woman who was standing right in front of the buttons. After the elevator doors had closed, I was puzzled as to why it wasn't moving. I noticed that the woman had not pressed any of the buttons. I then reached forward and hit the no. 15 button. She then came up with one of the most baffling remarks I've heard to date. She said, "oh mesti tekan punya ah?".

2) Escalatorphobia - I had just arrived at immigration to get my passport dont. In front of me were a middle aged (i'm guessing 35-40) couple. As we were about to proceed up the escalator, they stopped for a good 10 seconds as though a set of steps were miraculously going to appear beneath their feet and lift them up. They were holding up a whole lot of people until I tapped one of them on the shoulder and asked if they had decided to go up or not. They stepped aside upon realising that they suffered from escalatorphobia

I'm not trying to demean anyone as some people might have real problems, which is why I did not resort to name calling. I'm merely stating what I saw. Anyone care to share similar experiences?

Plenty mate. On this site alone there are fine examples of world class cluelessness.

Up close and personal? Only very irritatingly stupid people.

The elevator being a very good place to find really dimwitted people. Some may call it being rude, or clueless but I prefer to think of them as being a disgrace to the species. I live in a condominium, so everyday I will run into assholes who stand an inch in front of the elevator doors waiting to get in. So everytime when the door opens and I want to get out, there will be this auntie, with cauliflower hair, right smack in front of me face. How the hell do they suppose I get out? Why can't they wait and see if there are people in the elevator who wants to get out before they continue their rush to hell?

PS: Auntie with cauliflower haircut is just an example. There have been all sorts of dumb fucks doing the same thing.

You're right about that being very common in M'sia. Common sense would suggest that it's easier for the occupant inside the elevator to get out first. To counter this, I usually stand right in front of the door when reaching my desired floor. This is to deter any person with the compelling urge to rush right into my elevator. Thing is they sometimes do not move and expect you to squeeze past them. As I am a fair sized bloke, I normally bulldoze my way through, throwing them off balance.

yeah man, the lift case.. isk..

comes to the simplest things like lining up... shall i call it linaphobia? ahahah..

It's fine if kids cut line.. they're kids after all, can't say much, parents responsibilities.. but how about the elders? tsk tsk tsk...

Sorry to say but happens to be alot of uncivilized ppl around..

One such thing I experienced was when riding in the LRT, similar to Silverfish'es case.

So the LRT, tightly packed with people in a somewhat peak hour stops at I-forgot-what-station around KL. Im standing near the door, wanting to get out. As it opens a bunch of people squeeze right in, sometimes pushing around before letting out the people wanting to leave. Hello? If we are not able to get out, how the hell are you going to get in? Why resort to pushing and squeezing? I understand if the LRT is quite empty and you might want to get a seat, hence the rush. But when its already packed? Geez.

Some people just don't understand that no 2 objects can occupy the same space at the same time. I attribute this to skipping science lessons.

One of my co-workers planned to take a 3-day leave to go back to his hometown because his dad was severely sick.

"Everyone dies, that's no big deal. Even if I die, I won't take leave at all."---My 68 year-old boss.

You say that but think about how these kids will behave when they grow up. These things need to be nipped in the bud. Parents don't do their job properly. That's why we see all these bad manners surfacing now.

I must say you have a very dedicated boss.

Most people in LRT and other pubic transport are clueless!!! Why?
They don't give up their seats to the old, pregnant ladies and handicapped.

My friend once offered his seat to an old man and kena marah wei! The old man was all like " do you think i'm helpless" and shit.

From personal experience, I feel they should show a little more appreciation for people who give them their seats lah. In the occasions that I've made the sacrifice, they just sit down without looking at you or giving any gratitude.

 

[si|verfish]

Normally I just stand. No need to bother. Unless it is really empty.

That's just a rare case, niah. I've always given up my seat and was returned with a priceless smile or some other form of gratitude e.g. a nod of appreciation.

i kena that as well, an old lady shout to me at bus, "do you think I'm that OLD?" , but that's rare case.

the rest are ok. maybe i damn "yong sui", sometime ppl just refuse to take the seat that i offer. :confused_smile:

Since we're discussing all sorts of people, weird, funny or otherwise, I thought I'd include a few real life bloopers. These are actual statements people I know have made in my presence:

1) "Can you pls order some finger tips?" - Had no idea my buddy was a canibal

2) "I'd like to sing a song from Wind Supply" - Haven't heard of them. Do people wear Oxygen masks to their concerts?

3) "...the Knight and his Round Table" - Must've been a really small and lonely kingdom

4) "Can you please open the glove department?" - I've no experience in the clothing line

5) "Have you heard the new song from Hoostabank?" - Was it Maybank?

Duke Red,

This is one fucking GOOD posting!
Muahahahahahha

Funny? Try to beat some of the bad English in here. Some of the topics have such ludicrously bad English that it goes beyond funny. Almost sad even.

Why does this remind me so much of the KLIA aerotrain bridging the main and the satellite terminal? This Boleh Land sure has a lot of Boleh people with TIDAK BOLEH mindsets. Sad but true. Sigh.

LRT has, somehow, improved on certain stations. I've been on LRT for 4 years. The first 2-3 years of my experience was totally fucked up. Pregnant ladies, disabled, old folks, all were left standing. Only the nerdy girls will give their seats, you know, those traditional kampung looking girls, where if you hold their hand it would simply mean you're already married to them.

Kelana Jaya Putra LRT Station, peak hours : When LRT arrives, every packs up in the yellow box. When the door opens, they rush in. People inside the lrt can hardly get out. You should see the behaviour of those who are trying to rush for seat. Their face looks like a retardedly-mutated hunch-back of notre-fuck. Then, after one fine weekend, on a Monday morning, I saw.... FUCK! All of them line up! Nice and neat. Nobody standing in yellow box at all! I think God must've descended upon them and laid the smack down on them.

Putra LRT, peak hour, the INFAMOUS Masjid Jamek : This is the worst fucking station ever. Even 100,000 cockroaches in a box measuring 1" X 1" X 1" are more organized than the bunch of rotten-chibai-mutated-lanjiaos there. The train is full to the brim by the time it reaches masjid jamek. When the train approaches, you can already hardly see what lies just after the door. The amount of people at the platform is close to covering HALF the platform and yet, they barge in when the door opens. Only late last year, the customer service officer had to use mobile PA systems to guide those brainless fuckheaded retarded farm animals. I'd bomb those people to hell with 10 kilotonnes of C4 explosive if I was a suicide bomber.

Escalators: You'll get dumb fucks who takes just one step out of the moving escalator steps, stops RIGHT THERE, and try to understand what language is written on the floor directory that is located just above the escalator exit. My friend had to shove this lady once cos people are piling up behind her. She almost fell down. HAHAHAHA But I'd blame the shopping complexes for putting up floor directories there. Instead, they should just replace the directory with "Please fuck off the escalator exit. Thank you"

You leave about 1 - 2 steps vacant before entering the escalator, just in case there is a "jam" at the exit of the escalator. Then, this empty skulled baboon with green butt and shit face comes and stand directly behind you. And not just that, he/she stands so close and keeps looking left and right to your front as if to see if you can still move in front some more or not. They should be shot and see if the escalator to heaven will take them to heaven.... or hell.

As you approach the escalator, you see a couple, or family, or a group of whatever fuck you wanna call them, blocking the entrance to the escalator, discussing about where to go. They look at you, saw you waiting, and continue to talk as if you're not there at all. When you say "excuse me" nicely, they look at you as if they're blocking your way, and as if you're an impatient barbaric dog fucker.

Lifts : You'd get some dumb fucks who walks in and stand in the middle of the fucking entrance, press the button and continue to stand there.
You'd get retarded-brainless-forsaken-creation-of-nature who gets into the lift first, and straight away press the close button even before he/she presses the desired floor button.

When the lift light signals that a lift is arriving, you'd get stupid father-fucking-mother-suckers who squeeze in in front of you, even though the gap is only 1mm wide, cos to them, the lift will only come once. Once it's gone, you'll never ever, even in the next 100 reincarnations, get to heaven.

In a lift that's full, the door opens. You're behind. When you say "excuse me", the people in front of you and the entrance moves only 1mm, thinking you're the David Copperfield who can just walk through them like the Great Wall Of StupidFucks. When you totally can't move and tell them nicely to step outside, they look at you as if you're a rude bloody bitchy bastard trying to boss them around.

An empty lift opens. Someone gets in. You rush to the lift. The first person in the lift saw you. He/she stretches his hand to the control panel..... and press the close button. This kind of mentally-spastic piss-shit creation thinks you look like a bloody murderer, so he/she faster closes the door to safety.

Road side : At a zebra crossing, the road is almost clear except one car that's coming from a bit of a distance. Upon seeing people cross the road, that piece of stupid-fucking-son-of-a-dog-dumb-fuck-ma-chow-chibai-lanjiao-anak-haram-budak-sial -babi-setan-ni-madia-pandi-wata-pundek drops gear and speeds towards the zebra crossing, thinking that this is all a game of Grand Theft Auto, or CarNage.

The road in front of Time Square. Already fenced up close beyond crossing, there's still bloody-fucking-idiot-asshole-fatherfucking-bitchy-bastards who still cross the road there, rather than use the monorail over head crossing to cross the road. Just last week, there was so many idiot malaysians crossing, so much so that it became a crowd that covered the fast lane! THEY GROUPED AT THE FAST LANE, NOT EVEN MOVING AT ALL ! And the stupid police nearby didn't even do shit about it. I feel like taking a samurai sword and drive past while beheading as many of them as I could. And each head that I take, I'll spend one ZTH member to a nice good japanese buffet. So 100 heads means 100 ZTH members get japanese buffet. I've even saw a couple, pushing a baby prem across that road, and the father/mother was carrying the baby. When they reached the divider with the higher-than-waist-level fence, they had a stupendous look on their face, probably about how they are going to carry the prem over the fence.

This is the most that I've experienced. Stupid assholes who cross the road so fucking slowly on a NON-ZEBRA CROSSING when you're already so near. Then, they just put up their hand to signal you to stop, while they walk so fucking slow. Too bad but everytime I come across these people, it's always those rocker malays, rempit-style malays, punk-style malays, bangsar-style-rich-kids-wannabe malays, those kind of malays. And this is NOT, I repeat, NOT a racist remark. It's just that I only encounter this situation with those kind of people.
