People around here can be a bunch of fucking twats

All right. Time for my hatred of the day (or week... or month...). It has been a while since the last time where I wrote something. I have been über busy but this time; it is about stuff that matters.

Whether or not the title shocks you, please carry on reading. You might just learn something. When I am saying "around here", I am talking about people who resides in the majestic island-country that we call "Singapore". Although, it might apply to other countries.

My bitching for today will be targeted at the people on the road even though the basic principle goes a bit deeper than this. (I do want to keep it short)

There are many ways that you can be a backward ass fuck on the roads. Cutting someone. Driving under the influence. Speed up when you see someone who is trying to merge into your lane on the freeway. Not blinking your indicators. The list goes on. But the one that I am about to talk about is even worst than any of the above.

As you may or may not know, I live across the road from the hospital. (Yes the same one that is mentioned in a previous post) Every now and then, I will hear an ambulance or see some red lights flashing. (Nothing unusual so far)

So lets just play a little guessing game here. Lets pretend that you are nearby a hospital. You see an ambulance that is driving twice the speed limit. The lights are flashing like if it is Christmas. It is screaming that atrocious noise that you can hear four blocks down the road.

What does all this mean?

Have you guessed it?

Yes! You have guessed it! (You must be smarter than your average Singaporean) Someone is seriously injured and is in need of medical help with the priority level of ASAFP (As Soon As Fucking Possible).

So here comes my question... why aren't people letting it pass through?

Seriously... you got to be fucking stupid(or an asshole on an Olympic level). And I have seen this several times. The ambulance is stuck on a street corner trying to turn and not a single driver has the curtsy of letting it go first. Its like if everyone in Singapore is late for his or her football game or something. Don't you guys realize that there's someone in pain who is more in a hurry than you? How do you justify that someone in Vietnam can cross the road walking in the middle of hundreds of scooters without getting hit and that in Singapore, an ambulance can not even cross the road when there is five cars passing.

I am not the biggest fan of the typical Australian behavior after having lived there for six years. But one basic thing remains. Even if you are in the middle of a traffic jam that goes for 5 km... People in Australia would still make an effort to get the fuck out of the way.

Can you imagine having a broken hip and having to wait after someone who is in rush to be first in line at the lottery ticket changing counter? I mean fuck... priority management anyone?

Anyway, I am cutting this here. I could carry on about "keeping your place in line" around here.

PS: Maybe ambulances should use hummers and drive like this
