Beware of crude Hitch Hiker Aunty at NLB (Bugis) carparký
-
Dear All,
I have such a disturbing experience today at NLB (Bugis) carpark that I HAVE TO WRITE THIS EMAIL to warn you people. Forgive my long explanation.
I was with my friend at NLB carpark today (2nd June) getting out of the basement carpark when we were hijacked by this aunty who seemed to be of about 30-40 years old. She was wearing a pink bandena(scarf) and wearing pink top and 3/4 bermudas.
She wanted to hike a ride out of the basement carpark to the main road. So being the kind people as we are, we agreed because we thought it was just a short ride out. She got into the car and asked where our next destination was and we replied 'Vivocity'. She replied that she was merely looking for something to eat at Tiong Bahru or Redhill and asked us to drop her there.
We were shocked as she has changed her statement, but nonetheless, my friend agreed. Along the way, she was blabbering about where the good food are in Singapore and that my friend should read the street directory to know all the road in Singapore (Because my friend said he wasn't too sure of the road from Bugis to Tiong Bahru and asked for her directions). She continued to tell us that she once hitch-hike a uncle to bring her to some city area and that poor old man (about 60 years old) didn't know the road to her destination and she scolded him for being ignorant. She then said she had hitch hiked from many different people in Singapore and she didn't dare to give directions to the drivers if they didn't know the route for fear she won't get to her destination and that she has so far learned most of the routes in Singapore because the drivers drove her there.She asked where my friend and me (she thought I was his girlfriend, but we both told her politely that we are merely friends) usually hang around in Singapore, but we didn't give her an answer.
She just couldn't stop talking. I was getting impatient and irritated, but continued to do my knitting. Then I shot her a question. 'Do you often Hitch Hike from others?' She replied, 'yes once in a while.' Then I told her that she could always take a bus but she said 'No, because I am a very impatient person'. Then I said she could grabbed a cab. She replied it was too expensive and that she would be very poor if she was to take cabs everyday. I replied,' You could always take the MRT.' She then said she doesn't take MRT.
Knowing that we are nearing a very heated argument, I paused and checked myself. There was a short period of silence. Then she continued to blabber on to my friend, treating me invisible.
When we were approaching Tiong Bahru, she told my friend that she just realized that the coffee shop was on half day and didn't open today and told my friend to drive her to Red hill MRT. My friend obliged and when we eventually and FINALLY dropped her off at the Red Hill bus stop, she passed a VERY SARCASTIC remark to my friend. She said in mandarin, 'Boy, you can have only one wife, but you can always change your girlfriend.' Immediately, I reminded her that I wasn't his girlfriend but she closed the door and left.
Who were we to know that by sharing our compassion for others who practically hijacked my friend's car, we would have such sarcastic and crude remarks being brought upon us? Was it our wrong to have let her hike the ride? Perhaps. If we were to know that she was such a person who would take people and things for granted and slapped them with such demeaning and crude comments when she doesn't even know us, we wouldn't.
So I guess sometimes it doesn't pay to be kind. So people, be careful when you see a middle-age aunty trying to hitch a ride from you. You might end up like us. Getting your day spoiled and emotionally disturbed.
So pass it on to the unaware. I feel everyone deserves a chance to know this.

Next time tell her, actually you just stole the vehicle and is driving it out to johor where you can ship it out the country.

lol

Is she disheveled, messy hair and looks like she has something around her waist ?
If I were you, I'd tell her to shut the fcuk up and get the fcuk out of my car. She's asking for too much. -
oh pls
i am not so kind hearted
the moment i notice something amiss i would stop the car and demand she go out immediately
in fact, depending on mood, i may not even pick her up -
she looks quite normal lehz...her command of english and mandarin was quite good.. She was holding onto a GNC bag though...Originally posted by LazerLordz:Is she disheveled, messy hair and looks like she has something around her waist ?

okay.
but from the moment she started being sarcastic, I would simply stop the car and tell her to bugger off.
Why be so nice to such a weirdo? Not as if she's appreciative. -
Next time, put a satay skewer in your car. If you bump into her again show her the satay stick and tell her:"You know the poor guy who got his eyeball skewered to his brain with this in the movie Turistas? If you don't, you better scram."Originally posted by han_feizi:she looks quite normal lehz...her command of english and mandarin was quite good.. She was holding onto a GNC bag though... -
ur friend and u the heart too good liao leh
-
I've friends who've hitchhiked before, but at the very least, do be polite, and offer to compensate.
-
Hanor hanor, next time you do that, take the PIE, stop by the shoulder somewhere, and tell her to get the fcuk out.
-
Hmmm.... my friend was damn affected by this incident that she actually fall sick ( she wasn't feeling too well initially le)... I was the driver and shouldnt have stopped for her in the first place...
-
You should not gone so far to accomodate her really........
I would have stopped my car, got out, opened the door for her and ask her to get the hell out....
Anyway, there are lots of deluded people in this world who are wrong but think they are right.
-
Be more wary in the future. Hope your friend gets well fast.Originally posted by han_feizi:Hmmm.... my friend was damn affected by this incident that she actually fall sick ( she wasn't feeling too well initially le)... I was the driver and shouldnt have stopped for her in the first place... -
Hmm...you sure it was a human and not that 'thing'Originally posted by han_feizi:Hmmm.... my friend was damn affected by this incident that she actually fall sick ( she wasn't feeling too well initially le)... I was the driver and shouldnt have stopped for her in the first place...
Was that why your friend fell sick? Those 'things' do come out in the day as well ya know
On a more serious note, never ever give lift to anyone be them male or females unless they are accident victims or pregnant women about to give birth. Even so be extremely careful. You really don't know what sort of characters they are. As others have advice you stop by the roadside and tell that assholes to get out. Better still drive them to somewhere ulu and ditch them if they are like the one you pick up. That will teach them a lesson.

First post was written by the girl. Han_feizi is the driver, as seen in the last post.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:You were the Driver & you were knitting? -
So now is....the driver is guilty about picking up a hitchhiker and being too nice and obliging lah.Originally posted by LazerLordz:First post was written by the girl. Han_feizi is the driver, as seen in the last post.
So the g/f is not his g/f....and she fell sick because of the comment the hitchhiker made?
Should report the hitchhiker to HSA....for being able to transmit germs with her mouth. -
u are just too nice
if i were u, i would already said no from the start, in singapore it doesnt pay to be kind, i mean too kind. -
Eeks... freaky.
-
It is not wrong to be compassionate but it is wrong to be stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid.
Just drop her off at the main road... since the agreement was to give her a lift to the main road. -
Some of those middle age aunties especially those who have good command of english and chinese, thinks that people who are younger than them owes them a living. They think it's only right to take advantage of younger people.

They are the ones who are insufficiently equipped to deal with the real world. Spoilt individuals.Originally posted by Eternal-fire:Some of those middle age aunties especially those who have good command of english and chinese, thinks that people who are younger than them owes them a living.

I think what the TS do is right! Abt those who give suggestion abt dumping the aunty once sensing something not right or find her irriated is not very wise.
Cos more or less,u have a identification for her(Yr car number). This type of people may misuse yr car number for don't know what.. It is not wise to do anything rude or reckless. Bear with it and take it as a lesson.
Thks TS for reminding.
