MRT

First of all, let me say that i hate the mrt. No, i mean i hate the other people taking the mrt. You know those displays near the control stations of mrt stations? Yeah, they're there for a reason, to tell you when the next train is arriving. And for what? So that you can adjust your walking speed accordingly. But unfortunately, some people do not get this second part of this extremely diffcult, nuclear-physics-intelligence level concept.

Because one time, i was walking past the screen at the control station which says the next train is arriving in 1 minute, which means that if you wanted to catch the train, you would have to take some initiative and force your immense celluloid-filled legs to walk instead of being a lazy bum and simply stand on the escalator. Now apparently, some couple didn't get this and stood on the escalator blocking the entire passageway. Fortunately, I wasn't in a hurry either so I, being a considerate person, stood on the left hand side of the escalator. At first, I thought that maybe the couple were just like me, and didn't need to catch the train, having all the time in the world to enjoy each other's company.

But no! just as they arrived on the platform, the doors of the mrt closed. And look at the profound words of the female half of the couple.

"Shit! We missed the train!"

Wow great deduction Sherlock. I wanted to say something like, "you're smart, but my guinea pig is smarter". That would really have made my day, but i just couldn't la.
