If someone stepped on my wife's toe, i would definitely not be happy. Especially if the person who stepped on the toe is not sincere or did not bother to say sorry.
From the "other" person's perspective, I would say that singaporeans are not the most courteous people i have ever met and i have had a car run over my toe before while crossing the road (true story) and the car just continued driving off, leaving me in the rut. Additionally, there have been times when people shoved me in the mrt and looked as if they were really happy shoving me.....
Then again, there have been times i stepped on other people's feet and i did bother to say sorry and try to assist the "victim".
I think the golden rule is "do unto others as they would do unto you"
best wishes

definitely. i agree with u whole-heartedly that nobody would want their feet being stepped on or STABBED on. as a humane person, i took the initiative to apologise and was sincere about it. the victim herself was nice about it and smiled back at me....
now, was that hero's comments really needed? what was he trying to prove? :angry:
these are the Singaporeans who would really tarnish Singapore's stand in the global tourism market as No.1 in many many things... (eg. clean environment, best airport and stuff....) i think out of the many policies our new PM has introduced, he should continue to STRESS ON the courteous campaign. since those rude morons do not have the proper social eqtiquette passed on by their parents, the government should really do something lar.
i'm still very 'DUI' by the entire thing.... dunnoe whether should laugh or continue to get angry... wah kao eh....lolx lar.... :sweatsm:
