Singaporean muppets - God help us

Post by JR8 » Thu, 11 Nov 2010 3:28 am

My wife is having to deal with a woman, who demands that she has been acted against based upon her race, as the embassy had a party, and it 'is her right as a Singapore Citizen to attend'. God help us, most of them turn up with all the extended family, if not street, fill their handbags and then clear off. That is why food is served last at SG ambassadorial functions.

Mind you, you do get used to hearing these stories. How about when that volcano was going up, and a Royal Navy warship went over to France to assist in the evacuation of UK nationals? A Singapore citizen called the SG embassy and asked if the SG navy would be sending a ship to Europe too to evacuate it's citizens. Yes, really.

Or the SG citizen who (also during the above situation) called the embassy and asked if he could he get from Europe to Qatar in under two days other than by flying.

And so on, and so on... :o 8-)

you get muppets everywhere. Don't get me started on what I had to deal with in KL too.

But yes, the muppets here I can't deal with are the ones that walk with a hand up their a$$es literally. The ones that CANNOT walk straight and seem to do an immediate turn to walk into you. Seem to be those on the phones that are the guilty one. Can't seem to multitask. Coincidence that they are men? :wink:
Just me

You actually consider those milquetoast excuses of males as men? I gave you more credit than that! :shock: :P

Four posts and already this thread is heading for the gutter!

I don't like muppets with an entitlement mentality any more than I like muppets who stand on an escalator landing trying to decide where to go next. And yes they come in all colours. My escalator 'roadblock' last week happened to be a Caucasian female. I almost asked her to join this forum so she could read for herself, according to the other posters, that only Singaporean 'locals' are supposed to behave like that.

She probably applied for citizenship and they told her to learn how to assimilate first? :lol:

Drivers... already encountered a number of Caucasian a*h*s. Could be a different mechanism than assimilation.... kind of prerogative of the right combination. A car and a driver and an expat with a blown out ego.

Expat females by far the worst when it comes to motorcycling. Can't/won't give an inch when lane splitting, even though lane splitting is beneficial to both cagers and bikers. Worst was a German female who jammed pedal to the floor to ensure that I was stuck between vehicles.

Go to Sark - one of the Channel Islands. Apart from a tractor or a golf buggy, the only vehicles they have are horse drawn carts

I wonder if they get tractor-rage there :D
