Picky Old People

Recently I had several annoying run-ins with old people on different accounts and have decided that some  (not all) old people are really picky and sometimes just plain rude! It all started a few days ago on the train. It was really packed and i was pretty much standing shoulder to shoulder to other people on the train. However, the train stopped at its usual stations and more people wanted to get on. As i had just recently go on from the last stop I was pretty much next the door. When the door opened this old man who was standing next to me pretty much shoved me inside and said 'come on move! theres more people trying to get on!'....I seriously wanted to punch the old man. firstly because I was in a bad mood already and there was no space for me to stand any closer. It doesn't stop there. This old man, throughout the train ride, kept mumbling stuff and when he was about to get out he like elbow-ed me in the back as he was getting out. I don't know whether or not it was on purpose or not but it hurt! If he ever comes into my pharmacy, I'm gonna spit in his medications hahaha just kidding. . . .

Another incident also happened on the train. I was minding my own business on the train and there was an empty seat next to me. As I was playing pokemon some game on my nintendo ds trying to kill time, this old lady came and sat next to me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her looking at me, then looking at what I was doing/what game I was playing and then looked at me again. When I looked up, i saw that she had the most digusted look on her face, as if i was watching porn on the train...I had no idea what her problem was with me playing a ds, but she got her stuff and moved and sat next to some old guy in front of me...Seriously, what did I do?!

I dont know but a lot of the older generation here are also quite racist. Im not saying that these two old people were racists (maybe they were, maybe they werent) but I have had several accounts of racism against me despite almost living here for my whole life. I never had much trouble with my school friends, but its when we are out in shopping centres or grocery shops were the 'fun' really starts. Even at the pharmacy, a guai lo request he speak to someone 'not like me' because apparently I couldnt understand him when he repeated 'Australia? Australia? Australia?" when I asked if he wanted a cheaper brand of the medication....I've kinda grown accustomed to it now after living here and it doesnt really bother me...most of the time. But one day I really do wish for a world without racism. Why cant we all just get along? Oh wait..I remember now. Its because asians are smarter! hahaha just kidding. =D
