Common courtesy?
You know...I was just having this chat with a girlfriend the other day - why the hell do people stand in the middle of walkways at shopping malls?
They can be walking in front of you and because they had to chat about something important, decide to stand right there...in the middle where people are also walking up and down. They stop, have a probably idiotic chat like "Eh...I bought this Prada bag in Hong Kong last week because here don't have...so ah, I went around...blah blah".
Or why do they bloody get on the escalator all quiet and once they reach the end of it, decide to stop dead in their tracks to ask each other "So where to go ah?", thus blocking the rest of us behind. I usually glare at their incompetence but of course, they never get it.
So much for bing great at business and money; where common courtesy is concern, they're a total bloody nuisance!

That's why I do not like to go to shopping malls... cos I get all annoyed by certain creatures who decide to stop short at the top or at the bottom of an ecalator, exhibiting blatant disregard for fellow escalatorians behind them.
Some of these creatures choose to attach their left hand to the partner's right hand. And as you approach them from the opposite direction, like schizophrenic North and South Poles, they can't decide where to go. Their bodies repel but their hands are glued together. And it becomes your limbo bar. But you do not want to be a limbo star. So this results in a brief left to right to left body shuffle...and you start to discover that you COULD actually execute that salsa step you wanted to master for so long. But then the bubble bursts. It's a MIRACLE!! The Siamese twins have decided on ONE direction - without so much as an EXCUSE ME FOR BLOCKING YOUR PATH!!!! Mall life returns to normal ... until you come to.. another escalator.
I have a friend who's a chain smoker. Whenever he see this kinda creaature, he'll just graze his cigarette at that fella's hand. "Oops, sorry!" But then, now he can't do this at the shopping complex. They can't smoke anywhere lke before. Kesian! 'Dying' species.
