in retrospect

and once again, another incident that makes me ponder if men truly deserve to be given the credit they get. they get more pay then us (in most situations especially in junior/mid-managerial positions) and in the olden days, get the credit if their wives bear a son and are absolved from blame if their wives bear a daughter.

to further illustrate the above, there is one incident today that made me wonder if men have over time allowed the “credit” scheme to get to their heads, so much so that they’ve become stupid (and perhaps only think with their dicks and not their brains).

let’s just get down to the details now, which i’ll give you in point form:
- i drive on the filter lane since i want to turn right out to siglap
- old man in an old (i.e.: scrappable, approx 7 y.o.? model) BMW 3 series cuts in front of me, into the filter lane
- i slow down to let him pass.
- RED LIGHT. Man hits the break.
- i hit my break. close shave, about 2 inches away from old BMW and old man
- old man (with woman inside, presumably a date- details later) jumps out of the old BMW and starts using all sorts of hand signals
- light almost turns green
- woman yells at man to get in the car through out
- i lower the window “uncle, i let you cut my lane and you jam break you still dare complain ah. not everytime is rear car’s fault okay? AND IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO UPKEEP A BMW TO IMPRESS THE GIRL, DONT EVEN BUY ONE”
- old man looks defeated drives away trying to hog the right lane along Siglap

seriously, is this stupid or what?
