….

Today I went home by MRT train as usual

Met my male colleague and we sat beside each other

Along came a woman from my workplace of another department

She sat beside me, so I was between this male and this female

Three of us talked to one another

The guy not that bad but with hot temper

The woman, a sharp-tongued person

She talked too much on wrong topic too personal

It became sensitive and guy was furious

He raised his tone like thunder

The woman provoked, voice was like the amplifier

Guy said “you better keep your mouth shut in future”

Woman said “why you shout at me? Tomorrow I tell my manager”

Guy said “you go ahead and complain, you bloody big mouth woman”

Woman said “you better watch out, you shitty sissy uncle”

People looked into our direction

I feel like walking out since I was not in the picture

Funny thing was when they quarrelled both face to my direction

As if both were scolding to both of my ears

I whispered to guy “cool down, brother”

and then to woman “okay, softer”

Guy cooled down but said “you think carefully before you talk in future”

Woman yelled “I don’t care anymore, today I must make things clear”

“Something wrong with my luck this year, two guys scolded me I wonder”

“Tomorrow I tell my boss to tell your boss to have you fired”

Guy said “oh, I am so scared, I am so scared, fire, fire”

Then suddenly guy’s destination reaching, woman said “go to hell now, good bye forever”

Guy walked out, funny that he still waved “bye” to me, so courteous

Woman still grumbling, started to say bad of this guy, some people still watching her

Luckily my destination also reaching soon, my turn to leave this train and the people

I waved “bye” to her, her face like a red hot lover

I hope nobody took video on us secretly earlier

Otherwise my face may appear in Youtube and become famous

    What an awful experience for you. I reckon they were both being inconsiderate. I am surprised you were able to keep your temper. A good piece.

    It sounds like a very uncomfortable ride for you. What a shame some people are so rude.

  • Starpisces on May 19, 2010

    Thanks friends for your comments. Hehe, I was cool because I was not involved in the argument, I wanted to leave actually but both of them were people I have known. Actually the man cool down and smiled a bit somemore, but the woman continued to grumble, even after he has stepped out. Her voice was originally loud.

    It is terrible to be in the middle of heated argument. More terrible if we are involved in an argument with unreasonable person.

  • PR Mace on May 19, 2010

    How terrible for you to be in the middle of such a bad situation.

  • drishti8 on May 20, 2010

    Very bad experience.

  • Sharif Ishnin on May 20, 2010

    Hey StarP, you are the cool one and both your right and left are the hot ones. Hot is attracted to cold. So naturally they turn to face you. lol.Luckily they did not grab each other. Next time remember to sit in the corner. Stay cool and keep your distance.;)

    So humiliating and annoying to have such an arguement in the public. And awfully annoying for the poor soul stuck in the middle.
