auntie in the gym

was in the gym earlier and got into an argument with an auntie in the locker room. it reminded me of a typical gen x-gen y type work conflict.

i was done with my workout, was in the locker room, about to open my locker. an auntie like woman was standing close to my locker, changing into her clothes. i apologied first, and signalled that i wanted to open my locker door. she budged a little, just enough for me to open the door fully. unfortunately, somewhere between her wrestling with her clothes, she accidentally hit her head agst the door and "tsk-ed" at me. i ignored her, partly because i had already apologized earlier for inconveniencing her, and also because i didn't feel responsible for her inability to work within a tight space. (*haha* i am quite "qia" that way, i know)

that was when an argument ensued, something to this effect:-

auntie at the gym :
(glares at me) wah lao! close your locker door for goodness sakes!

me:
well, you could have moved in a little bit and you'd have enough space.

auntie at the gym:
least you could do is apologise!

me:
i did. i said sorry before i opened my locker.

auntie at the gym:
i didn't hear you. (grumbles under her breath)

auntie, if you're in the wrong, just admit it lah. older people are capable of apologising to younger people, you know.
