Every single morning while walking to the LRT station, I would be perplexed by the people that attempt to take more than one set of the free newspapers.

They would take one set, then pretend to walk another round, to take another set. Then when the newspaper distributing auntie sees that, she would be scolding the greedy woman (oh. it's always a woman and seldom a man who's guilty of this).


The angry newspaper distributing auntie scoldings could not deter the greedy woman's want for more newspapers, and MORE newspapers, and even MORE newspapers as the greedy
woman would attempt to stuff the newspapers into her bag/ plastic bags/ kiap under her armpit/ whatever measures just to get MORE newspapers.


Like what the hell. Why do they need so many sets of newspapers for? To accumulate to sell to the karung guni man? Or do they need the newspapers to pick up their dog shit, or wrap vegetables, or what?

If it's for the karung guni man, I'll have to say, they would have to walk alot of times and try to collect free newspapers unabashedly to even earn a miserly 2bucks.


If it's for the picking up of dog shit, then I guess I have to pity the dog for having such weak intestines that it is perpetually shitting.

If it is for the wrapping of veg, well, I guess they consume alot of veg at home.

And I can't think of anymore reasons why they would need so many sets of newspapers as I won't believe that they are taking them for reading purposes.

Of the many traits that I detest in a human, greediness and stinginess beat all others to reign at the top of my billboard charts.

Stay tuned for the next post about stinginess in my cousin's friend. It's now time for me to sleep on my bus that is stuck in a jam. :))
