rude teenage worker @ pw

i did not hesitate to tell off a young guy earlier. it was not usual of me to do so, but i was so bloody pissed off by his behaviour.

we were at parkway parade basement and i was walking ahead of my maid as she pushed mum on her wheelchair. and i heard someone shouted "excuse me, excuse me". i turned around and saw a teenage guy pushing the rubbish bin. he was shouting for my maid to give way to him and he had this cheeky grin on his face. i was annoyed. annoyed not becos of his smug face but for the fact that the walkway was more than 5-6m wide and as my maid was in the middle of the walkway, there was huge spaces on both the left and right of the wheelchair. and for that matter, huge enough for the guy to comfortably push his rubbish bin through.

i didn't care for the fact that there were other people around who kept quiet and gave way to him. it was clear to me he was either plain lazy and possibly trying to make fun/ pressure my maid. i immediately stopped my maid, stared at that guy and told him off firmly "hey! you don't ever get a wheelchair to give way to you understand?! and also, the space on the side is so wide you should just use it!" 

my response caught many fellow shoppers by surprise and they stared at me. as for my maid, she looked fearful of me for that moment. as for the guy, he too was taken aback, he stopped, looked at me for a split second as i told him off, and he simply pushed the bin to the side and walked passed me. i stared hard at him as he made his way pass me. and once he passed me, he apologized and quickly continued his way.

darned! kids these days need to learn some good manners.
