Inconsiderate souls...

For those who take the public transport to work or play, you would have obviously noticed that at some point or other, you find yourself in a crowded train carriage.
Then, there are people who would be stading around and trying their best to either go to the centre of the carriage to give way to others for standing space. Then, there are others who would just stand in the way by blocking the door.
There are also some who, knowing that its a crowded carriage, would plonk and stick their whole body against the metal pole. Now, these are the people that I'm talking about. No common sense!! Do without the handles hanging over-head. While they may already be taken, but the pole isn't.
These nim-skulls wouldn't be bothered to let other passengers hold the poles for balancing. Even when you were to say, "Excuse me, do you mind? I need to hold on to the pole", they would either give you a "Do I care?" kinda look, or they would just simply ignore you and continue to have some sort of sex with the pole. Hahaa...
I would definately understand if the carriage is not crowded. That you would want to lean against the pole for pleasure. But, not when the carriage is crowded!!
What if someone falls and hurt themself?? Who is gonna be responsible for the cuts and bruises?? It's just basic courtesy and knowledge to not lean agains the pole.. You're not doing a pole-dance number... You're just taking the train ride to work or play. You don't have to make everyone else's trip miserable.
And courtesy doesn't just come during the courtesy month.
It's how you cultivate these simple kind and thoughtful gestures into your everyday life.
So, if you are guilty of it, then reflect on it and think for others.
If you are not guilty of it, then speak aloud to those you see doing that, and shame them.....
