An incident at a train station

Venue:
Toa Payoh Station

Date:
2011 June 10

Time:
Around 11.30am


So there I was, waiting for the train.

















When it arrived, one teenage girl approached the platform door.
















Then I noticed she had left her pink wallet on the bench.
So I called out to her and gestured towards it.
















She went back to get it and entered the train.
















No "thank you", no expression of gratitude, nothing.

As a matter of fact, she looked as if I had caused her
a colossal inconvenience by making her retrieve her wallet.

Quite an interesting response, don't you think?
