weird complainers

This morning. 100.3 has this fantastic voice recording machine which allows the public to call in to complain… complain… complain… Man, S’poreans really know how to brainlessly complain.

1 particular complaint that made my blood boil.

Gentleman said, Cyclist riding on the pavement makes it very messy. Government should dictate that they ride on the road.

What a stupid man! I bet he would think different if the cyclists are his son, his wife, his father, his mother!

Because of his feeling inconvenient as an occasional pedestrian (unless he has nothing to do except to walk on the pavements the whole day), he wants to endanger the lives of all cyclists in S’pore.

Expert cyclists don’t want to cycle on pavements. They’d rather cycle on the roads and scare car drivers half to death. It’s the aunties sending children to school, home from market, children cycling to schools that make up the bulk of the pavement cyclist. Our gentleman wants to push all these awkward cyclist onto the road. Come on, have a heart!

That said, some cyclists are rather rude, ringing their bells to chase pedestrian out of their ways. Personally don’t think that is nice. If you are behind, you wait. If pedestrian get out of your way, it’s goodwill. So please dump your annoying bicycle bells in your storeroom and learn some courtesy.
