MRT Blues?

Boring morning ride to work/school?

Just a few activities to entertain myself on the MRT:

  • Giving up my seat for pregnant ladies and the elderly.
  • Rushing for seats with those kiasu aunties who storm into the MRT when others haven't yet alighted.
  • Winking at pretty office ladies.
  • Politely reprimanding spineless people (invertebrates) who lean against the pole.
  • Purposely requesting to sit when someone has his/her bag occupying a seat. (thunder thigh or gargantuan rumps are also good targets)
  • While getting into a seat, pushing up against people whose enormous behinds are spilling over into the next seat/those who think they are very big in stature (but are actually not... zzz).
  • These come along once in a blue moon... Using my shoulder to bump sleepy head-nodding fellows' nodding heads. Bump-bump.
  • When someone's morning papers intrude into my personal space, I take the chance to catch up on the news - by reading over their shoulder.
  • Try this: pretend to get up to exit the train, but when a kiasu someone makes a move for your seat, you sit back down and say, "Gotcha!"
