After getting through a sleepy morning at work, it’s finally lunchtime! However, your joy is short-lived thanks to the following reasons.
The sun chooses to come out in all its full glory
Often, lunchtime is noon time which means that the sun is at its highest and hottest point. Get ready to sweat, develop a headache and face heat frustrations if you choose to eat outside.
It starts to rain as you step outside
And you have no umbrella. You can make that call to your boss telling him/her you’ll be having a long lunch.
Tissue packets on every table
Whoever started this trend ought to be shot.
You forgot your tissue packet for choping the table
If you eat alone and forget to bring a tissue packet along, you’ll have to use your next “worthless” thing. It could be your staff pass, lanyard or your umbrella–all of which would cause more heartaches if they go missing than a tissue pack.
Lack of seats at the hawker centre
The smart ones will either have their lunches before 12pm or after 1pm. For the rest, it’s often a rush to get to the hawker centre for seats. Many a times, you’ll have to stand real close and ‘pressurise’ people to eat faster by staring at them.
People sit around chatting even after they’re done eating
Could they not see the groups of people waiting for a table and could they not feel your death glare?
Dirty plates and trays not cleared from your table
You finally got a table but there are no cleaners in sight to help clear the dirty trays and plates. So you sit and wait till you spot an empty table near you where you can dump them.
People putting dirty trays and plates on your occupied table
Whatever you do, don’t be the jerk who puts empty trays and plates on other people’s table while they’re there. There may be an empty seat but no one wants to eat next to someone’s else dirty plates.
People plonk themselves down at your table without asking
How difficult can it be to ask whether the seat is occupied? Practice some basic courtesy.
Deciding whether to buy a hot or cold drink back to the office
You’re dying from the sweltering heat outside but your office is freezing cold (or vice versa). Here, you face the first world problem of deciding whether to get hot teh or iced frappuccino.
