evil post... but sometimes... you just do it

Hmm…. I think this will be the first post of this kind that I’m posting… but I think it’s about time that I did.

I dunno if some people just want to be right all the time and everyone else has to be in the wrong. Whatever other people say, without thinking, they will just say something else to just question you. Sometimes it is true but most of the time, it feels like they are just doing it for the sake of it.

One classic example; Typhoon nearby Shanghai, the weather is raining with heavy winds coming from all directions. I decided to take a taxi to work as it costs about 26 to 29RMB, split between 3 people… you do the maths. I asked, “Let’s take a cab to work.” The most wonderful and powerful answer, “能等得到吗?”

Wahhhhhhhhhhh………………… so damn smart. We’ve been staying at that place for well over 3 months, just across the road, which we had to cross in the first place, was a taxi stand that had taxis queuing up, in a U shape. In short, there are about 50+++++ taxis just across the road, waiting for passengers. If the problem was to walk the distance to the taxi stand, there were taxis overflowing onto the side of the road which we could just hop on anytime. Sometimes I really do not know what he is thinking. In the end, we waited 40++mins for the bus to come and by then, my 19.90RMB umbrella was destroyed beyond recognition, my shoes and socks were soaked, the water soaked jeans and I was cold to the bones.
