What will u do if the person next to u on a bus is eating ?
-
& some more eating fried 'chai tau kuey'? This auntie was taking her own sweet time in chewing while watching TV mobile on the bus. The smell of the food was so strong as I was sitting beside her.
What will you do in this case?
Change seats ?
Tell her nicely ?
Confront her in front of everyone else in the bus ?
Tell bus driver uncle ?
or bear with it ? -

-
errr.. auntie ah.. don't drop on me har... because there got sign saying that you eat, kena fine $100...

Glare at her and make a show of holding my nose and going "tsk tsk tsk" under my breathe.
It wont do much but annoys the hell outta her. -
whr got ppl put cockles in fried carrot cakes one?? he's not talking abt chao guo tiao leh....Originally posted by dragg:ask her how much, where, got cockles, got chilli, etc

I think it's the one big square piece type of carrot cake right, surely it can't be the loose bits kind!
Actually if it smells good, and she's a neat eater (no crumbs dropping on my lap or wadever), I might just put up with it.
Perhaps my stomach would growl in time to her chewing. And I'd probably think of dinner later too. -
Discussion moved here.

wah the worse i did was ate a sandwich on the bus summore i went all the way to the back eat alone..

Yes, that's what I would do to show how annoyed I am and then change seats.Originally posted by Ferret:Glare at her and make a show of holding my nose and going "tsk tsk tsk" under my breathe.

I find there are more ppl eating on the buses now, and I'm not talking about those discreet tit-bits like sweets, a bun, curry puff or drinking water. I'd seen a woman eating a box of rojak (luckily I was on another bus), and seeen another couple seated at the back of TIBs bus eating "chai png" (vege rice) - you know how smelly it turns to when in a stuffy aircon bus with warm airconditioning....phew! I moved to the front, even don't mind standing. I would have changed buses if it weren't that late at night then.
Would it be of any use to tell the bus driver? I hardly think he would stop the bus, walk to the back to tell the couple to stop eating or get off the bus. Or better still, drive to police station to make report and fine the couple? -
Wow, fried carrot cake, I miss fried carrot cake, seriously I wouldn't mind. In fact, I wish I could be in her seat right now, literally.

By sitting next to her and annoying her with my little antics, she would feel as uncomfortable as me when she's eating. Plus I get the comfort benefits of having a seat. gRinz* -
Eating and drinking on the buses is not allowed, but there isn't a fine. There's only fine or corrective work orders for littering on buses.

also, once on 132, a fishmonger came up, smelling strongly of fish.. i also try hard to tahan.. i prefer durain flavour air-con le.. -
I once took a train in amsterdam and there was this rastaman taking our a big fat joint (skunk I think) and light it the crowded train. Everybody in the train didnt really give a damn about it cause they have learn to live with it. So what is a chai tau kuey compared to someone lighting a joint.Originally posted by waterfalz:& some more eating fried 'chai tau kuey'?
