Inconsiderate

Just realised that the clothes I had hung out to dry since this afternoon had been wet, thanks to my upstairs (don't know which storey) neighbour. Damn! Whoever it was, had hung out laundry that were still dripping wet. What happened to those pamphlets that had been stuck in our letter boxes reminding us to be considerate when hanging out wet laundry?

The least that person could do is to stuck her head out to see if there are any other laundry hanging from neighbours below her, especially if she knows that hers are going to drip badly. Thanks to my ever sharp hearing of the dripping sound. If not, I think I would have gotten more than two half-soaked shirts. Just thinking of it made me feeling p***ed all over again. What harm could it do to exercise just a wee bit of consideration for your fellow neighbours?

But then again, I ever heard someone mentioning that even if we are considerate for others, would others be the same? Would they know that we are being considerate for their sakes? So, at the end of the day, why should we care when others don't?

I think this is what some people feel too... which is why we have pamphlets for almost anything here. It seems really ridiculous to have to give out pamphlets to remind people to be considerate, to be courteous, etc. All these values are supposed to be instilled in us from young. The adults are supposed to teach the young ones. When has it come to this? What kind of "gracious" society are we living in if we need to be reminded to be nice to others?
