23.o9.o9

Two embarrassing incidents happened to me today.

First, I had a seat on the MRT. Then one lady got in at Tampines station and I thought she was pregnant. So I made a move to get up to offer her my seat and instead, she looked so shocked and surprised an immediately refused.

That was when I realised she wasn't pregnant. Just that she had a huge tummy and was wearing her pants up to her waist. Super high pants la!!! I don't know if I should feel embarrassed or her. But either way, I felt really guilty. Here I am trying to be nice and then it backfired.

And she REALLY looked pregnant. As the journey continued, I feel stares on me (I'll never sit at priority seat ever again) because I didn't offer my seat to a 'pregnant' lady standing right in front of me. How I wished I could just put a sign that said,"She's not pregnant."

So when I got out at Chinatown station I was one of the first few to reach the escalator. One chiongster auntie in heels stormed up the escalator trying to be Superwoman. And before I knew it she tripped and fell on the escalator while it was moving up. It looked her she sprained her ankle or something and couldn't get up for a few seconds so me, being the kind soul went up and offered her help.

And instead, I got dissed. Just like that!
Didn't even say Thank You or look me in the eye with some gratitude. She just stood up like a robot and continued her frantic walk out of the station. Asshole. Made me look like a dumb moron talking to a wall and offering a helping hand to some ghost that evaporated in less than 2 seconds.

Two MALU incidents in less than an hour.

URGH!!!

Maybe I shouldn't be so nice next time.
I shouldn't offer seats to pregnant ladies unless I'm 100% sure they are.
And I won't offer help to aunties who fall down.

Right.
