Stupid Singaporeans

This is my 3rd attempt at creating a blog today. Had too much angst and frustration earlier on. Facing too many stupid people at work today. Luckily I'm not surrounded by stupid colleagues else my day would really be gone. Nevertheless, facing stupid patients everyday at work is really trying my patience.

When you ask for home address for verification, they tell you their telephone number. When you tell them they're not allowed to purchase a certain medication as under the law a legal prescription is required for purchase, they tried showing off their skills at paraphrasing thinking somewhere along the line you'll be tricked into agreeing to sell the medication to them. When you tell them to press the green button for a queue number, they press the red triangle pointing to where the queue number is coming out from. When you tell them to leave the prescription in the tray, they walk off with the prescription then complain why they are waiting for such a long time just to get a few medicine. When you tell them to take a seat while waiting for the prescription to be processed, they stubbornly stand in front of your counter and blocking the right of way of the patient that you are serving. When you tell them the number flashing on the screen is not their number they insist it is their number eg. a couple of days back no. 13 was flashing on the screen the patient holding queue no. 14 came to the counter and insisted 14 is 13. *faint* When you tell them to take 1 tablet 2 times a day, they insist the instruction is wrong that they are suppose to take 2 tablets a day; 1 tablet 2 times a day IS 2 tablets a day. *DUH*

These are just some of the common examples of stupidity from Singaporean patients. Frankly speaking while I was still in school I never knew that there are that many stupid people in such a small country, but the stupidity of patients I serve everyday never ceases to amaze me. If you feel like defending these stupid fellow countrymen, don't do it on my blog. It is time we stop giving excuses for stupid people's stupidity.
