COURTESY

Today on 25:

The bus stopped and the doors opened. I saw an old man with a cane hurrying up the street. Like a jackass that I am, I made a bet with myself if the man would make it to the bus. Man, was he slow.

But he did. The door did close on him but it reopened and he got in. And with a cane in one hand, his arthritic knees bent in a curiously funny way, he looked around for a seat.

The two girls looked at him and continued their conversation. The old 60ish Pakistani man glanced up. The younger man besides him didn't even notice. Everyone else stayed put. Finally the old Pakistani man offered his seat. He was after all not carrying the ultimate weapon, the cane.

I felt like kicking the two stupid bitches. I hope they get knocked up by their dumbass boyfriends and when they're really really pregnant, they would get on 25 and not offered a seat. Learn your lesson the hard way!! What they did is just so wrong.

HELP

People often get lost in a big hospital. You see people staring at colour-coded diagrams while holding a piece of paper in their hand, you know they're trying to figure out their way. It's the same with the young black woman pushing a baby stroller. It's so obvious she's trying to find her way.

The cleaner decided to help. "Can I help you, miss?" he said pleasantly and ever so politely. His eyes brimming with kindness.

"Why do you ask that?," the woman retorted. "Do I look like I need help??!"

His defence mechanism activated, the cleaner said, "I was just trying to help. You don't need to talk to me that way."

This is why I never offer my help. Bitches can be so nasty.
