switch off your handphones

One day, I was riding on a bus with Rey and I witnessed an incident that I thought could never happen in Japan. There was this man in his 30s sitting in front of me and I thought he smelled like he has never bathe for days. So I was very shocked when he shouted across the bus at a woman using sms on her phone, something like, "hey, hey, stop using the phone!" The poor woman didn't respond becuz she was too engrossed in smsing (besides, she probably didn't think that someone will shout at her for using the phone even when sms-ing) Anyway, the shouts continued until when the poor woman realised she was being targetted by a smelly man, she quietly kept her phone. The man thought he was being 'righteous' and added, "remember to switch off your phone!". Poor woman, sighed.


Then, that was when Rey started singing on the bus. I panicked and tried to shut him up because I was so scared the man might turn back and shout at me or worse hit my head or what. I off my handphone too just in case. You never know what kind of crazy thing can happen in Japan nowadays. That was the scariest ride on the bus. I have encountered molestor on bus in Singapore but I was daring enough to yell at him, reprimand him for like 5 minutes for doing such disgusting acts. (he tried to touch my arm from the backseat and pretended to sleep when I turned around!). And I had to bang his head with my heavy files, still schooling, mah, to wake him up and scold him in public for the next shioking 5 minutes.

Anyway, the smelly man finally alighted and an old man who boarded the bus took his seat.
"Please stop using your handphone, young man." The old man got the guts to tell off a youngster who was using his phone right beside him! Serve him right, I don't like people directing their handphones at my head when sms-ing either. but wha, now the old pp bue kia si, dare to tell others off. I have read news of uncles being pushed into the train tracks or beaten to death by people who were being told off. In singapore, you might be slashed by parang.
