I was taking the MRT home from Boon Lay, and as everyone knows I stay in Simei, so I have a pretty long ride. Hence I'm usually quite particular about getting a seat on the train, because if I don't I really suffer like shit. Standing for an hour is not funny.
So today as usual I went straight for the priority seat, which is my favourite. It is the seat that is at one corner of the row of seats, so you can lean against the plastic panel on your side. I usually just lean there and sleep the whole trip.
But on this particular trip, I was particularly disturbed by a guy on my left who was nodding off. He had this really irritating way of nodding off. He didn't just nod forwards or backwards. He actually went in an arc from left to right in a clockwise motion. The worst part was, he eventually ended up with his head resting on my back because I was leaning forwards trying to avoid his swinging head.
And he didn't seem to notice it! I was like shit his freaking head is damn heavy. And he put some products in his hair so his hair was oily too. I was like please get off my shirt now I'm starting to feel damn disgusted and if you continue any longer I might just punch you in the face. But of course he didn't wake up.
I tried to shake him off, but he didn't budge. He was freaking sound asleep. On hindsight I should have stepped on his foot. All I can be happy about was he didnt drool. If he did, I don't care I would have just elbowed him in the face. Not like I didn't try to shake him off already.
This whole incident just made me more determined to do one thing. If I ever meet such a person again, I will push him to the person on the other side, or physically shove him off his seat. No one should have to contend with people with greasy hair dirtying their shirts.
