An Uncle And An Auntie Fighting Over Drinks Cans

In Singapore, you will happen to see there are some people lolling at Hawker Centre awaiting to collect Drinks Cans. In fact, there are people who are depending on this for a living.

By collecting drinks cans is part of a recycle program. Usually, these collected drinks cans are resell to recycle company. However, you would need to collect it to a certain amount in order that you would be paid decently. Mostly, they will be paid according by weight, per Kg.

Normally, these collectors will wait for people who had finished their drinks. Than they will approach to their table to collect the empty cans. But there were many cases, where some collectors are animus or don't bother, even with the drinks were still half way through, they were too anxious and just took it away. These actions were rude and had piss off those people who had not finish their drinks yet.

On a particular night, my pi and mi were having dinner at a hawker centre. I happened to notice an uncle was staring at our can drinks. I had figured it out, he was awaiting to collect our drinks cans once we finish it. So i quickly pour our remaining drinks into our cups. But once our drinks cans were empty, an auntie came out from nowhere and grabbed it away.

The uncle got no time to react. He was annoy and he quickly stop that auntie who had our cans. He confronted and claimed that he had long waited for our drinks cans, which means he was priority to have our drinks cans. The auntie refused to acknowledged his claim and it's lead to an argument broke out. Soon a crowd gather, and the quarrel continues.

Both of them had spoke and behaved vulgar. The uncle was frustrated and slammed the table. But the auntie continue to scold nasty words to him. Luckily, some food stalls tenders pull them apart, and the quarrel ended. So the auntie walked away, while that uncle stood there. He was very upset and complained the situation to the crowd.

My pi and mi were shocked, we had never expected such unpleasant incident would occurred. Hum..What a night we had... Well, these were some of the real events that actually happened in Singapore, feel free to leave comments on this issue.
