Spawn of the Devil

Urgh.

Super annoyed with the goddamn kid who was sitting beside me earlier on.

Better post this before any idiot stomp me. Lol.

I was on bus 2 on my way to Z's house from bugis. It's like an hour ride.. And for the first half an hour I was standing. I was perfectly okay but the bus driver kept jamming brake, so I felt like puking.

And since there were a few empty seats, I chose one that was at the front, those side kinds. Yes, they are yellow seats, which I think are priority seats. But I would rather rock side to side than to rock front and back. And it was the seat at the corner so I could lean against the glass.

So, if you know me, you would know that I hate kids. Like, really. Unless they're reaaally obedient. 

Anyway, I was about to give up my seat to this old man, but the pinoy beside me offered before I could, but the old man declined.

At the next stop, this auntie who was holding onto this small boy's hand boarded. They were at the front of the bus and I could tell that the auntie was looking for a seat.

Coincidentally, the woman next to me alighted, so the pair rushed to the seat. The kid immediately climbed onto the seat and kneeled down, looking out of the window. The auntie, I presume is his grandma, carried him up, sat down and put him on her lap.

And the kid immediately started whining.

He kept saying, 'I want to sit down. I want to sit on my own. I always have to sit on your lap.' (Along that line, I can't exactly remember.)

I didn't think much and continued using my phone.

At the next stop, a lot of people alighted and there were a few empty seats at the back of the bus, like 5 or 6, and some had both empty. So the kid said something like, there were a lot of seats, and asked his grandma to change seats, so that both of them could sit.

But the grandma refused and said that there were a lot of people and by the time they got there, they would have taken the seats.

So, when I heard that I was thinking, there were seats available but she didn't want to move. Then it wasn't my fault that the both of them won't get their individual seats, right?

There were other alternatives which she didn't want, so I didn't think I was obliged to give up my seat. Plus, the kid was around I think 3-4 years old and could stand and walk. And how does that quality him to get his own seat?

I had my Mac in my bag and my school notes and all, the kid wasn't carrying anything, plus he was being spoilt by wanting to have his own seat.

So I just ignored.

And then he started crying. Like, Jesus, get a fucking grip lah.

The more you cry, the more reluctant I am to give up my seat to you.

It just shows how damn spoilt you are.

You cry to get what you want?

Too bad, welcome to the harsh big bad world.

When I was young, I didn't cry or throw a tantrum for anything because I knew it wouldn't work.

He just has to learn it the hard way.

I think the grandma was hinting to me but gurl, you were the one who didn't want to change seats when you could, don't expect me to give up my seat just because of that. There were still time to change because it would take people who are boarding the bus to get the the end. You just chose not to.

Anyway, she kept saying stuff like, 'There are a lot of people, how to sit?'

Seriously? 

After that the kid just kept crying, like with tears. And his grandma got so fed up she called his mother. But to no avail.

In the end she stood up and gave him her seat.

The boy's grandpa was standing at the front of the bus and he glared at me. I just stared at him and blinked at him. I think there were people looking at me but I didn't give a shit. The kid was crying, you want me to give in to him? What will it show him? All you have to do is cry and you'll get what you want.

Plus I hate kids. So, too freaking bad.

I recorded the conversation of his grandma and his crying, but I can't seem to upload it here.

Maybe when I'm on my Mac, I'll try to.

I hate the fact that people think that kids deserve a seat, or are obliged to. You already have a seat with your grandma, just be grateful.

If the grandma didn't have a seat, I would give it to her, or if he was a baby, I would too. But he wasn't. He was a spoilt brat who was throwing a tantrum because he couldn't get his own seat.
