My exciting encounter at work. -- 2:20 AM; Thursday, June 18, 2009
I cannot believe that INDIAN MAN actually has the cheek to complain when it was him who was in the wrong. I'm just doing my job.
It happens like this.
This bugger here, came up to me to ask for extra time to play in the futsal court. Well, as kind as I am, i had already given them extra 15 minutes to compensate for starting a little late. (Where they started like 5 minutes late?!) So they came up to the office demanding for extra time. This is how the conversation goes. It wasn't exactly as it is, but the content is there. There are some words he said to me that left a huge impression on me which i actually remembered the whole sentence/phrase. I will highlight them in red.
Indian Man: Hey boy, so fast end ah, can extend anot?
Me: Oh, I'm sorry, you have to pay to play in the court.
Indian Man: We started late leh, can let us play a little longer?
Me: Sorry, no. (I smiled) I have already let you play in the court for extra 15 minutes. The time is already up. So do you wish to extend your court hours?
Indian Man: huhhhhh.... Come on lah, be flexible. Half an hour more can?
Me: (Thinking, half an hour more would mean 45 minutes later, fuck, why don't u just pay for that one more hour.) I'm sorry sir, ( i cannot believe i called that fucker, SIR) i've already let u play for extra 15 minutes, so my answer is no.
Indian Man: be flexible lah, i member here so long already.
Me: If every member comes up and tell me this, this company will make a huge loss. so still no.
Indian Man: C'mon lah, be flexible, last week the other guy also allow me play extra. since no one using, let me play awhile longer lah.
Me: No. No pay no play.
Indian Man: be flexible lah.
And he kept going on about me having to be flexible with him to allow him to play for free about 3 minutes, and as persistent and "stubborn" which he used to describe me in the complaint letter, as i can be, i insisted on the answer, "NO" Until to the point, i can't take his nonsense i simply said,
"I don't need someone like YOU to teach me how and when to be flexible."
He exploded.
He asked for my name. He insulted my name.
"your name isn't some ronaldo that i should remember. write down ur name on a paper and give me."
"i'm not ur slave to do that for you."
"is this the type of customer service u give me."
"to you yes, to the rest no."
then he proceeded to acting like some dumb fuck who don't know how to pronounce my name. if he knows soccer, he should know rafael benitez and tennis, rafael nadal. just that my spelling was ph instead of f.
well, i'm lazy to type everything out. the part where disturbs me the most is....
Indian Man:
You don't have the balls to tell me ur name issit?Me: I have two balls inside my pants.Indian Man:
SHOW ME!Immediately after that, I shut the glass window.Before he asked me to show him my balls, he was getting all vulgar at me. Hurling vulgarities at me like it was free. Surprisingly, i didn't use vulgarities on him. i remain calm and conquered this situation by smiling back at him which in turn make him more frustrated.
Well, i ended up calling the police. the police made this case as a dispute case, which i thought was ridiculous. i should have scolded that bloody indian before the police comes and COME UP WITH SOME FAKE STORY WHICH MAKES ME LOOK LIKE SOME ANGEL THAT HAS FALLEN FROM THE SKY.
FOR GOODNESS SAKE. he asked me to show him my balls. and in the complaint letter, he said i want to show him my balls. in fact, whatever he wrote in the mail was an insult to me, an insult to my character.
anyway, he demanded an apology to him from me. (i was like WTF)
in the first place, he was wrong. how i wish i could post up the complaint letter here. i know its unprofessional to do it.
FUCK THESE INDIANS WHO GAVE ME SUCH PROBLEMS. he compared myself to him and called me a lowlife who is SLAVING MY ASS OFF in the office while he's outside playing.
FUCK HIM.we are all equal irregardless of what we are doing. you fucker, should know ur status. you fucker should know that, YOU are not high and mighty. i know this sounds racist, BUT, just because you are an indian, doesn't mean you are superior to chinese. I'm not saying that the Chinese are superior, but rather, we are all equal!!!!
AW MAN. Singapore is such a peaceful country where all races are living in harmony, while some of the people here are actually trying to disturb the peace here by hurling harmful comments.
DAMMIT.
