Observe a typical lunch hour.

What do you witness?

People from all walks of life hurrying to the nearest eatery to get their nourishment.

The extra long queues at every vendor.

The impatient complains from those at the end of the long chain.

The packets of tissue placed on top of every table to certify that it is already occupied. I'm not certain where that "creative" idea of reserving seats using packets of tissue derive from but it is definitely not gracious.Look, i believe that it is an unreasonable concept.Just from which planet did you enquire that from?.If everyone does that, why don't entrepreneurs just set up a new business making money from reserving seats at local food courts and fast food outlets during lunch hour.
Think of paying just to reserve your seat during lunch hour at any desired food chain in Singapore.It may sound ridiculous but isn't that parallel to how the majority of us are behaving. For goodness sake, seats at food chains are public property so what makes you think that by putting your packets of tissue you are entitled to the seats?
Any person can just throw your packet of tissue and replace it with theirs.What evidence do you have to say that the seat has been reserved by you. Don't get any ideas from what i'hv just hint.
Remember the importance of manners.

But that isn't as barbaric as those who deliberately take their own sweet time to get off their seats despite completing their meal.There are some who even purposely delay by instant messaging or talking on their mobile while there are still sights of those who are still standing and waiting.
Don't tell me you can't find somewhere else to seat and make your calls? At least, spare a thought for others.

Wait. What century are we living in again? I forgot that every man is for himself.

Where have the more civil-minded population gone to?
Extinction i guess.

In case you haven't noticed yet, look at how easy it is to spot an ill-behaved citizen.
They are Everywhere. AND i mean EVERYWHERE.
Just turn to your left or right at any crowded location and simply observe.
Worst,they can even be me or you.

Why do we choose to remain ignorant over something as important as this?
The excuse of being busy.We're busy.We are always too busy for anything.
Trust me, if everyone attempt to be more considerate, the world can be a better place.

Love,
