For me it's inconsiderate, selfish, self centred people
eg. - those able bodied people who park in disabled parking lots
- those who don't offer their seats to pregnant ladies, ladies with
babies/small children or elderly people
- those who have the attitude that "others are their to serve them" -
Sounds like you got a problem with most Singaporeans!
Hope you can be happy....Originally posted by odysseus:For me it's inconsiderate, selfish, self centred people

Surely not. I hope not anyway.Originally posted by ilovemyrolex:Sounds like you got a problem with most Singaporeans!

Maybe I'm naive or just optimistic but I'm sure there are nice considerate people around. I hope S'pore and it's people haven't fallen into the trap of sacrificing their values / ethics in the name of progress and success.
Then again as Voltaire said "Optimism is the madness of asserting that everything is good when it is evil." -

One 'new' trend I've noticed... patients or their family members who pick at nitty-gritty stuff, find fault, and list down multiple complaints about anything and everything so that bottom-line, they achieve their goal, which is, to make the hospital waive their bills.
It is a nasty, ugly trick.
There are exceptional cases where bills would be waived if it was a genuine wrongdoing by the organisation. BUT, folks got wind of this and now, almost everyone we see is trying this trick.
You'll KNOW what they're up to because they come in very combative, very very rude, and they really find fault. Then inevitably, they will use the, "I will complain! I will refuse to pay!" declaration.
I've recently politely informed someone to please wait outside at the waiting area where he can be seated cause a procedure will take half an hour or more. He crossed his arms, and shouted aggressively, 'I want to know that you nurses are doing your jobs! I want to stand here and take note! How would I know if you're doing your jobs right or not?!'
Yeah, right... as if you know enough to supervise us! 
My colleagues and I became nurses because we had noble intentions but yet, these days, we are being treated as if we're out to kill and murder and injure. Our fellow Singaporeans not only treat us with contempt, they 'bully' us and step out of line, being unreasonable, demanding, uncooperative, wanting us to explain every single thing several times a day to anyone who turns up and that really eats into our time.
I've once stood by a patient's side for more than 6.5 hours at a stretch, and two other colleagues about 5 hours or so... and the remaining two outside at the counter had to take care of everything else, and ALL of us didn't have a single minute of break that day... and when we came out, the relatives glared at us like they wanted to kill us with their stares and exclaimed with anger, 'Why take so long!! We want to see our mothers!! What are you hiding? Taking so long behind closed curtains!'
Not a single word of thanks. At the 6th hour, I felt slightly giddy and faint cause of the gear I was wearing. I was sweating like a steamed chicken and my blood sugar level was low cause the last meal I had was like 8 hours ago... and instead of a simple, 'Thank you for taking care of my mom!', it was that!
What does senior management do? Instead of putting them in their places, they kow-tow to them. Does no one teach good graces and proper behaviour anymore??!!!! 
We may be educated... but we're becoming a nation of educated barbarians.

I got quite a few nasty remarks in my working life in Singapore, too. Sadly, it hasn't escaped me when I moved over here
There's one or two PRCs who always seem to 'act innocent' whenever I tell them they have fines to pay Then they'll try to tell me 'No - I returned the books on time, the computer must be wrong' or 'I never borrowed those books!' Oh well! Part & parcel of work-life, I suppose. -
Sigh... educated barbarians are a fast-growing breed of organisms that have infiltrated the world then?

I dislike people with annoying voices. Usually the voice itself gives me the vibe which helps me decide if I even like this person.
