Are you a millenial or a Gen Z in Singapore? Have you ever encountered entitled elderly people in Singapore? I know I have. I will encounter one at least once a week. But yesterday was the one that really irritated me as all hell. So I was about to leave my home yesterday morning and as usual I will take the lift down to the void deck. And as I was entering the lift, I noticed a familiar elderly couple that was already in the lift. I've seen them a lot over the years because I grew up in that HDB block but I've never spoken to or interacted with them. They have their lives and I have mine. The lift descended another 2 levels down and a second elderly couple entered the lift and were standing in front of me facing the lift door. When we finally arrived at the ground floor, I had to allow the second elderly couple exit the lift before I could exit. Once they exited, I started to walk out when the male of the first elderly couple tapped me on the shoulder and the following is the conversation that transpired: Annoying Uncle: "Walk faster la! Can don't block the way or not?" Me: "Uncle, how am I blocking? I had to allow the other couple to exit the lift before I exit right? What's your problem? Annoying Uncle: "You blocking the lift door ma!" Me: "Since when I block the lift door?" Annoying Aunty (His stupid wife): "You were blocking the door! You don't ever do that!" Me: "Can you stop repeating what your retard husband said like a broken tape recorder? Do you expect me to push the previous couple so that you can exit faster? Is it because you are self entitled?" Annoying Aunty: "You talking back because you got poor upbringing! All the young people these days so rude to the elderly and talk back because they are poisoned by the westerners and their values!" Me: "At least I know how to respect people not like you! No wonder your kids moved out and refuse to come visit you!" *stormed off* Frankly I think that in our society, somehow a lot of the boomers and pioneers think that they are entitled to respect and they do not have to earn it. I believe that everyone, young or old is deserving of respect and the respect is earned and must be mutual. You don’t just demand it as if the whole world revolves around you. Such people are the bane of our society. Really spoilt my day and pissed me off! 🤬🤬🤬
