People can be so ignorant or just plain stupid. Was filling petrol at Shell and a lady in a Wira drove in chattering away on her handphone. She stopped just behind my car, started peering about anxiously and continued talking on the phone. In the first place if you know you're going to drive into a petrol station, tell the other party you'll call them back. Or, stop somewhere cos you're not supposed to be driving and talking on the phone at the same time anyway. This carried on even until I drove off. There're signs everywhere, ads on the radio and television warning us off the dangers of these kind of things but why do we still act dumb? Then, this other guy who was sitting on the pavement opposite Shell walked into the shop while on his phone. He wasn't fined neither was the lady in the Wira. And ironically, there were two police cars just outside Shell.
I guess that's why we don't follow the rules. Obviously enforcement isn't such a big issue in this country. The police don't care so why should we? I'm not a law-abiding citizen all the time either. I dont follow the rules strictly. But there are certain rules that should be followed and we have to realise that we are not only endangering ourselves but others too by being so reckless. I guess nowadays everyone is just too concerned about getting someplace in the shortest time possible hence not giving a rat's ass about others. That's the kind of world we're living in now. Not having enough time to stop and smell the roses.
