random things i get peeved about 2

people who think they know more than they do and unabashedly showing off their ignorance on the bus in loud conversations.

yesterday, i had the misfortune to stand next to a young couple on the way home. as we passed by an mrt station, they noticed that work was being done to open some shops at the station itself. a note of that led to the proposition that the company should purchase more trains => which "the men at the top" would not do because they drove to work and therefore does not know about the problems of the common man => the whole issue of elitism => the woman proclaiming that the reason why she did not want to go for further studies because she didn't "want to be an elite".

i snorted at the last statement. thankfully, i was plugged into my mp3 player, having frantically dug it out in the middle of their discourse on elitism, and i turned up the volume to avoid having to listen any further.

miss? if only you realize how dumb you sounded there. maybe you'll learn not to talk so loudly on a crowded bus again.
