What is wrong with people nowadays?
-
i was travelling in a bus along bedok when i noticed an old man staring at me. i was wondering if he has a fetish for fat man. finally he summoned enough courage and asked in chinese "can you tell me what this sms is saying?" the sms is in english.
i read and translated "wife at bedok, fetch her after work."
then he asked me to help him reply in english "wait for you at the canteen."
why did whoever it was send him sms in english when he cant read them. the worst thing is he is carrying the retarded samsung handphone v500. -
Actually, what's wrong with someone trying to communicate by asking for the help of a bystander? Maybe, they're trying to save money by sms-ing and they both aren't very saavy with technology so they just seek the help of folks around them.
And, nothing wrong with carrying about the aforementioned 'crappy' phone either. Some folks go for functionality and not everyone has the means to afford nor do they need the top-of-the-line expensive phones.

Wow, I never knew dragg discriminated against people more than me. Dang, should've bought lottery today.

Err. I know a few elderly people who ask people for help to read and send SMSes. They also want to save money and dont keep calling the person for simple messages. So what's the problem with just asking someone to help them send a simple sms? Don't sound like a big deal to me.
They shd use the even 'crappier' phone.. those long time ago 'da ge da' then if anyone wanna ostracise them, they can use the huge phone to hit the person's head

Hard for certain old folks to learn new technology, but nothing should prevent them from trying to make use of it. If they have colleagues / friends willing to help them, I don't see why they shouldn't enjoy sms'ing too.Originally posted by hisoka:dunno sounds so weird everytime must ask pple for help. say badly like beggar like that maybe its just me bah i prefer nto to everytime must ask pple for help
Oh well, once in a while, help someone with a smile... good for the soul!

the old man obviously dont understand a word of english. why did his wife or whomever his wife seeked to send the sms, sent the sms in english? she should know he will need to seek someone's help too. he has no problem with using the sms functions.
btw he told me the samsung phone is lousy. -
He hyper sensitive sia.Originally posted by ditzy:Wow, I never knew dragg discriminated against people more than me. Dang, should've bought lottery today. -

i dont discriminate against anybody or anyone. the main question i have is why didnt his wife (or whomever helped her) send the sms in chinese? btw he taught me how to use the sms functions of the samsung phone.
obviously he has problems with english and not the phone. -

dragg, if ALL of us missed your point, then you might have to seriously look at how you wrote that post and perhaps, exercise more awareness of how you'll come out sounding to others before posting.Originally posted by dragg:all of you missed my point!!!

If you would re-read your post, there was a hoity-toity air about it, no doubt. -
