Reasons why i hate public transport #299
was on a very crowded train today and this girl was standing in front of me. sorry to say - but a typical orchard barbie(OB for convenience) by the looks of it (yes how freaking judgmental am i). a few seconds later.. an old woman accidentally trips while the train jerks and steps on OB’s foot. woman apologises profusely (and loudly) while OB just looks irritatedly stoic and flips her hair. a few seconds later, out comes the blinged-up iphone for a new tweet about how a “lao aunty” just stepped on her and how “fucking painful” it was.
all i have to say is, anne frank is ashamed of you. the starving kids in africa are ashamed of you. hilary swank in million dollar baby is ashamed of you. the people who stepped on land mines in Cambodia are ashamed of you. don’t gripe about superficial pain. i think so many people would rather have that over the life-threatening illnesses that they’ve unfortunately got. perhaps fix the real problem - your desperate need for attention that social media encourages, and the fact that it will never be enough.
