GRacious Singapore...where is the GRace?

Last Monday I was travelling on a bus to meet my tail at Taka to do the derma scan at Imeeden boutique. I waited close to 20 mins for the bus. There was lots of passengers boarding the bus at various stops cos of the delay. Then one man boarded the bus at GWC. The moment he boarded the bus, he started to swing his arms up and questioned the driver loudly abt the delay. The bus driver replied, 'i don't know, I just drive my bus!' The man then went off to find a seat. Then the bus driver started mumbling to himself about being questioned for no reason and scolded the man for being a gangster. Vulgarities soon came out from his mouth. He scolded all the way from GWC to Lucky Plaza.

Initially I was irritated by the impatience of the passenger. But this soon gave way to being disgusted with the behaviour of the bus driver. Yes, the passenger was wrong to question him for having to wait for close to 20 mins for the bus. But he should not have gone on and on spewing vulgarities at him. I am so disgusted at the lack of gracious of the driver. To end the episode, the back of the driver's seat had a poster of PCK and his wife promoting a gracious bus journey...HOW IRONIC!!
