Why can't people just queue up?---a graciousness discussion
-
Why can't people just queue up?A STOMPer is disappointed that people still cut queue despite there being a proper queue stand at Bedok Interchange.
In an MMS to STOMP yesterday (Aug 6), the STOMPer said:
“This picture was taken at Bedok Interchange.”
“Why can't these people learn how to queue up?
“In Hong Kong there's no proper queuing stand at most bus stops but yet people queue up orderly to wait for their turns to board the bus.
“Over here even with proper queue rails, people ignore and jump queue.
“This is selfish behaviour!"______________________________________________________________My views: Firstly, this just show how inconsiderate people can be in our so called "gracious" society. Secondly, this just portrayed the lack of self-awareness of the mass population, thirdly, Bedok Int always got this problem one, all end on plus B1 and B2 like that one.....Points of discussions- The level of graciousness in our society
- The sucessfulness or non-sucessfullness of goverment launched initatives...
NOTE: I hope that this thread can bring something new to stomp forum, previously it is all other issues...this is meant for a philosphical discussion -
Stomper is pissed he has to fight for seats on an empty bus.
-
quite true..but it is quite annoying to see if i come first, some pple kope some better seats on bus...for normal pple any seat may be the same,,, for me, bus fan, some seats are my favs in some models
-
Wait till it's peak period.
However, sometimes those standing at the berths will wait for those in the queue lines to board first before they board.
-

-

this is not new... it happens thousands of years ago too... when they use flintstone buses.

This is a typical problem, fortunately its more the minority. I think u find this problem more frequent on the MRTs. Before u can come out, others are rushing in for seats, like the seat got gold to grab!
-
its really common =/. But of course i felt irritated though
-
bedok interchange ..
What u expect?
so many aunties and unkers
u think they care ?
i already used to it
-
I agree, its very annoying when some ppl blatantly disregard such rules.
but then again, why do we (esp Singaporeans) see the perennial urge to q?
Civic conciousness? I beg to differ. I tell you, most ppl singaporeans q cos of ownership.
the dogma to acquire that little space infront, sanctify them the "moral" ownership to claim what is little left ahead of you.
it really has nothing to do with herd metallity. just plain old self justification to rights of space, through the simplest form of queing up.
-
I'm not advocating q jumping, but who are we to define q? what rights be ahead in turns?
If to q is out of act of moral , ins't it more "moral" to give way to those who are more inconvinence ? (eg. old, young, the pregnant)
can we adhere to that?
-
Singaporeans shall be Singaporeans. LOL. It's quite common la. You just have to accept the fact.....
