The young teenagers in Singapore I encountered during a queue for lunch surprised me greatly. They do not have patience and kept voicing their dissatisfaction at the store staff in a continuous manner. I think the life of the Singaporean is getting really fast paced and they are trained in and with efficiency. Worse was when an older gentleman came at the queue from the other side and put in his order before the teenagers did. One of the more vocal ones wouldn't let him off without speaking out loud to insult him continuously in sarcasm.
My awareness of this awareness is that I could have stopped this from happening if I had spoken up to the gentleman. Whether or not he did it deliberately I should have found out. I watched all these unfold and then had noise pollution and the immediate environment around me had lousy energy. But if I had told him that the queue started in the other direction, I would have saved myself the hostile environment as well.
