Typical Singaporean! Can hear them a mile away!

Ladies can be real 'gansters' when it comes to parking spaceOriginally posted by Fatum:Ladies too ! .....
Ah lians have gone international I see ....
My hubby just experienced that last Saturday
We went to pick up my brother from the airport. It was peak hour so it's kinda hard to find a carpark. We were lucky to get one close to the entrance.
So happens, there was a car behind us so my hubby decided to let them pass before parking. Who knows the driver went past the car and tried to park head in into our lot
(female driver 
my gender )
Of course my hubby wasn't going to allow that to happen and he blared the horn at them and drove forward. Good thing she backed off.....wonder what will happen if it got nasty
It so happened there was someone walking past as well. Could hear his comments from inside the car loud and clear too He said," Wah so hiong!! Try to steal other peoples' parking space." -
you know, if it was a guy, I'd probably do something about it .....
but if it was a girl ? ....
I'm not sure i'll do anything though ..... not quite out of a sense of chivalry or anything like that ... but the thing is ... what can you do ? ... hit the girl ? ...
sometimes, females have it better .... they can use their gender to their advantage ... just jut out your chest (pardon me ... ) and we'll have to surrender already ... -

HaPpY HoLiDaYs!!! -
hey dude, I dont think there is such thing as system and manners in ME and MEs the last place on earth where you want to be mr nice guy.Originally posted by runervn:Ok, just an experience I want to share with you guys on how loud and *dumb* a Singaporean can get when they're outside their country:
When I was visiting some friends in Dubai, we went to this nice mall (Mercado Mall). We went to look for a free parking space just beside the mall. Of course, you should follow where the arrow points so that you'll know what's the direction of the traffic. When we were almost going inside this vacant parking space, all of the sudden, we saw a car speeding "directly coming in front of us and *against the direction of the arrow - which simply means they on the wrong side of the road". 2 ladies went out of their car, around their mid-20's. *SHOUTING* (In Singlish) "We found that space first leh!". We tried to be calm, explained to them that even though they just came from the entrance of the parking space and the parking space is near that area....You're still using the wrong direction.
Worse came to worse.... They shouted "K.N.N.", (I felt really funny when they're shouting those words at people who naturally know what it meant)... Anyway, we just ignored them and left our car, they weren't happy and shouted "CCB!".
Worse came to worse, I was pissed off. My friends stopped me from attacking those original CCB's! But, after I explained to them what it means, they agreed to join the fun!
At the end, I told those gals not to show how stupid & dumb they are in other countries. People might think Singaporeans are really that way.
That really ruined our day. And brought back an interesting story to my folks back home.
...............Isn't that loud?...................
Having said that, there is also a high chance that the 2 ladies might not be used to driving on the right side of the road.
Whatever it is, this kinda of shi.t happens everywhere it is not just singaporean. -
Yes, not all places in ME doesn't have a system in manners. I've been in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and yes, Dubai... It's just strange that it was a first time that I've seen such a *tourist* (I'm not sure if they are because they're driving a company car that says "SIA". Flight attendants, I assume?Originally posted by Gazelle:hey dude, I dont think there is such thing as system and manners in ME and MEs the last place on earth where you want to be mr nice guy.
Could be but not with a *HUGE WHITE* arrow pointing in front of them? What other way could it mean?

I agree with you, but not expecting from our own leh?

In middle east you can even drive in the opposite direction of the road..Originally posted by runervn:I agree with you, but not expecting from our own leh?
or do a illegal U-Turn by driving up the curb with your 4x4..
