Why don't people (men, especially) behave properly & appropriately?

I don't know about chinese traditions but I think smoking shouldn't be allowed at funerals. For one thing smoking harms yourself, and for another, it harms the people around you.

Ten people sitting around a table smoking together is guaranteed to harm those ten people a lot. It's either you're too blind to read what's on the cigarette pack when you buy it or you choose not to read, which is really really idiotic of you.

You smoke and you harm yourself, and the smoke from the 9 other people around you effectively harms you further.

It's good to smoke right?

Only idiots think this way.

I hate it even more when the people (men, especially) put an arm around the chair beside them, prop one of their legs on top of the another, shake that feet which is propped up all whilst holding a cigarette and puffing it to no end, one after another.

Please don't be so stupid.

Go read some biology textbooks. If you don't know how to read them, get someone to read it out and translate it for you.

And it'd be good if you print out pictures of distorted lungs due to excessive smoking and display them on your wall permanently.

I think it'd help.

Seriously.

I was just really irked by the MEN who were smoking and crunching nuts and making the table dirty without a care in the world yesterday at my grandfather's funeral.

And they go HA HA HA amongst themselves in hokkien, chinese and other dialects. If not, broken english.

It is a funeral.

Funeral.

FUNERAL.

It's enough seeing you smoke and being inconsiderate and causing the innocent people to breathe in the smoke that you exhale. It might be only in my opinion that smoking at an occasion like that is very rude, but I'll stick to it still.

Maybe you're short-sighted but if you can smoke you sure can get the money to get yourselves a pair of spectacles cause there were dustbins around the vicinity.

And what do you do?

Throw it onto the floor and step on it.

Wow, how considerate.

That's the first thing.

The second: Self-service.

You didn't rent the cooler, you didn't call the casket, you're not part of the family, you have no rights to open the cooler and take out drinks for yourself.

Use your brain and not your hands.

How can someone just go straight to the cooler and help himself/herself to the drinks inside when they are in no way related to anyone there?

Yes, you might have come to help and yes, you might be thirsty after all the chanting, but that still doesn't give you the right to take what's not yours. It can be given to you if you ASK but you don't blatantly take what's not yours.

Even at a funeral people don't have to capacity to show respect to the dead, and to the family of the dead. They do all sorts of sickening things and exhibit all sorts of annoying behaviour.

Not everyone, of course, just those who are bent on acting that way. And the fact that we have to clean up after them who mis-use their presence irks me.










I know he's home.
