You have seen them everywhere. They are on the buses. They are on the MRT. They are in your supermarkets and convenience stores. They are in your bus and train queues.
They are the aunties of Singapore, and they personify kiasuism. It simply amazes me how anyone can possibly cut a queue so shamelessly, just to be the first to board a bus or train, and while I write this with my tongue in cheek, it must be said that no one is immune to the system of law and order.
Ever had an experience queueing for a bus at the interchange and some auntie just goes to the head of the queue when the bus arrives for boarding?
I just did, and I’m sick of how they regard themselves as being above the rules an regulations set in place to make the world a more orderly place.
But, because I am too kind-mannered, I did not yell at her or tell her off. Yet it annoys me all the same. I say aunties should not be spared the telling off. It’s time to wake them up and let them know it’s wrong, and simply impolite to cut the queue.
