Lady who 'chopes' seats with tissue chases Caucasians away
Much to the consternation of a STOMPer, two Caucasians were unceremoniously chased away from a table 'reserved' by a woman at this table at the busy Lau Pa Sat on a rainy afternoon.
And the contributor couldn't take her rudeness, after she was allegedly seen crowing over her 'victory', and told the latter off.
In an email to STOMP, melting eskimo said:
"It was looking like another crowded lunchtime at Lau Pa Sat, except it started raining so everybody sitting outside flocked inside, with half-eaten and un-eaten trays of food in hands, desperately searching for empty seats.
"An empty table had its four empty chairs 'booked' with tissue packs, while my colleagues and I were standing around for 5 minutes with our food, waiting for a table to clear up.
"We eventually found a table for us, and sat down to eat. Five minutes later, two Caucasians (picture) unknowingly sat down at the aforementioned empty table, having removed the tissue packs.
"Another five minutes later, which was already a full 15 minutes since we first spotted the empty table, who who knows really how long it had been since they had selflishly 'reserved' the table and walked off, a lady (in white in picture) came back with her food, and went on to do the shameless thing of chasing the Caucasians off, looking all indignant.
"Equally stunning was how the Caucasians acquiesced, picking up their half-eaten food and going off in search of another table.
"Of course, this whole victorious episode was subsequently recounted to her mates when they came back with their food yet many moments later, with all of them repeatedly turning around to look at the two offending Caucasians who had 'stolen' their seats.
"I later went up to the lady in white, and told her that a lot of people had witnessed what she had done, and I told her that it was disgusting that they'd leave the seat empty for 15 minutes and still had the audacity to come back to reclaim it, chasing thetwo Caucasians off in the process, and acting like it was her god-given right to the seats.
"I added that it's ugly Singaporeans like her that make me embarrassed to be called a fellow Singaporean. Her reply was a lame "Fine!"
"Later, as we were walking off she said something that I couldn't make out, to which I just told her that she's shameless and that there's nothing more to be said, to which she said "And you too!"
"Classic case of ugly Singaporeans. In that amount of time the seats were left empty we had sat down and finished our food."
