I don't like wasting time in long queues. Someone could tell me that a restaurant served great food and that I should try but I would give it a miss if I were to see a long queue of people waiting to get a table. Wait 30 minutes to an hour to get a table? Mental!
I was in the lift and a couple was talking:
H: The queue was so long. At least 10 cars in front of me. Queue till the road outside.
W: So many cars?
H: Yah. Chinese New Year's eve. Every year is like that. I waited almost 50 minutes to have the car washed.
W: How much?
H: $8. (Seeing AK in the lift. H smiled and asked.) You got your car washed?
AK: Yes, I washed it myself.
H: Wah! You have the time to do it?
AK: Haha... Took me 30 minutes. The shampoo and sponge cost me $6.50. Good for at least 20 washes. Way cheaper than going to a car wash too...
I think I said too much. The husband's smile faded but luckily the lift reached their floor and they got off then. I hope I did not step on someone's foot.
Actually, I see rather long queues at car washes all the time. It is not just during festive seasons.
Wait 30 minutes to an hour to pay people to do something that I could easily do? Definitely mental!
GONG XI FA CAI (to the people washing cars too)!
