Obnoxious Bitches

This took place at Gurney Plaza. We were about to leave when we saw a kiosk. A housewife-like lady was standing there. She wanted to scan her receipts to gain points from her shopping at the receipt kiosk. She didn't know how to use it. So happened we were there reading the instructions. She mumbled something.

Ahjuma : Where is the scanner? (Fidgeting the kiosk)

Me : (Lifted the plastic cover for her)

Ahjuma: (proceed to scan her receipts)

Partner in crime : How does this work? Blah...blah...(small talk)

Ahjuma : (happily explaining to show expertise)

The housewife-like lady (a.k.a. Ahjuma) left when she finished. Another Aunty with her child was next. After they left, a couple went up to the kiosk and scanned their receipts.

When the couple left, I was my turn to scan my receipts. As it was my first time using the kiosk, I was required to register. The keyboard on the kiosk wasn't very sensitive, so it took a while before I could begin scanning my receipts. Just then two obnoxious bitches stood behind me. Because the kiosk had somewhat a big-assed screen, it was visible to public what was going on. Not to mention they were standing really close to me. As I was busy with my stuff, I didn't pay attention to them. So after registering, I proceeded to scan my first receipt. Then I scanned my second receipt. At this moment, obnoxious bitch 1 said to me

Obnoxious Bitch 1 : (rudely) Could you stop scanning and let me go first?

Partner in crime : She is already in the midst of scanning, can't you let her finish?

Obnoxious Bitch 1 : (loudly in a very rude tone) You have so many receipts, I only have one. Let me use first.

Obnoxious Bitch 2 : (mumbling) ....lunch......

Me : (I was contemplating whether to stop scanning and remove my IC from the kiosk to let her go first).

Then she had to be a bitch.

Obnoxious Bitch 1 : (loudly)  tsk... searching for her receipts. Got shop so much meh? Got so many receipts meh? Keep in wallet some more.

Obnoxious Bitch 2 : (in the same bullying rude tone) ya lor. tsk... Use credit card receipt some more.

Obnoxious Bitches 1 & 2 : Laughs

Because of her bitchiness, I decided to continue with my scanning. She can wait.So when the receipt show on the screen, I purposely rotate it, to take up more time. Finally both obnoxious bitches walked away, knowing that they can't bully their way through.

It was just a matter of a few short minutes. But because of their bully nature, the think that people should always give in to them. If they have been polite, I would have let them use the kiosk first. Since they chose to be bullies and bitchy, they can wait. I have every right to use the kiosk. The kiosk is not reserved specifically for them. They do not own the kiosk. Haven't they been taught basic manners? Even kindy kids know what queuing up means. It means wait for your turn. NOT " ME FIRST". I'm over and done with being bullied.


SAY NO TO BULLYING




Ill manners is not a disability. Hence there is no need to be given special treatment (i.e. Jump queue or the need to go first)
