went to cafe, 90%+- occupied by student who are "studying."
At the sofa area which meant for 4 ppl (2 table 4 chairs) was occupied by 2 student each using 1 table, one of them even pushed the sofa back blocking the walkway jus so he can sit on the floor.
my friend n i bought a drink each, we couldn't find a seat, so we hover around them, they saw us, we even had eye contact, but they immediately act blur and go back to their books.
since the seats are next to the counter, i approach the manager and ask loudly (So they can hear me) to the manage if he could asked one of them to shift to the other table so that my friend and i could have 1 table.
They refused. youth these days... haizzzzzz

I would have done the same. If you can't ask for yourself but need a cashier to babysit you even with asking :bsmilie:
If you had asked directly, friendly, with a smile ... maybe the response would have been different. That's why I do usually and it works well.

just sweep away the packets of tissue papers on tables

That will be wasteful.

Clean the table with it, then throw.

stupid cafe management. at least at starbucks, there is a policy on the timings that students can use to study (there are those that occupy the tables for hours on end). when they've spent 6 hours and just sitting there, drink glass empty and sipping free water, they can be asked to leave.

there are also those who just sit at the smoking areas without buying drinks, taking it as a rest point. they can be asked to leave as well.

first of all, the cafe manager should be smart enough to realize that those students are ruining profits.

Bus also:

Apparently, some one challenged this lady. The lady said that it is normal western culture for people to put their feet up on the seats in trains or buses, and she is an Australian and it is her rights to not want anyone to sit beside her.

What the lady says is total BS. Really! A disgrace to Australian. I stayed in Australia (Melbourne to be exact) for 3 years and had not once met such an act by the Australian while there. Plus my bro had already migrated to Australia and was staying there for more than 4 years now, I visited him almost every year, took their public transport heaps of time, never seen this type of actions.

Going back to original post. Maybe need to consider the situation. It is outside the hospital operating theatre.
Presume the people there are close relatives or loved ones of the patients being operated on.
Thus they are under extreme emotional stress.

In such situations, they are not their usual selves. They can be in a semi state of shock.

They may not be aware that they are depriving others of the seat. Cause their minds are worrying about life and death of someone in the family.

In such cases, can be more forgiving.

But like u said, those waiting outside the operating theatre are stressed, so r those standing. I do not think it is forgivable but that is only my view.

There is a difference between culture and habits.

Then the hospital would be wise to keep these people away from the theater. There is no point having relatives and friends hanging around there in groups, blocking the entrance or other important activities. A separate waiting room with soft music and view into a garden is much better than the aisles and corridors of a hospital where the staff has to pass through, often in a hurry and with patients and equipment.

strangely enough, every time i'm queuing up at the supermarket i notice that when it comes to paying for the groceries, people love to queue with their friends. and the moment their friend reaches the cashier, they all disperse and suddenly the queue gets real short.

queuing culture, anyone?

U are lucky.
My friend had an outing with family & relative (big group), with baby pram.
They want find a place to chit chat.
Went to cafe, few students studying n chatting in there.
A pair of students occupied a large sofa seat. That area big enough to have baby pram parked without blocking anyone too. So my friend went over asked them nicely can they move to smaller table so that they can have the seats and enough space for the baby pram?
One of student replied her ".. Why should I..?"

Sometime at hospital, at those clinic (not A&E) will see ppl take whole session of newspaper back to the seat and flip, after that they just put paper on seats. Papers n bags "occupied" most of seats at waiting area

You mean lack of it......

You mean lack of it......

it could be source of inspiration for local fight choreographers.

Sweep the tissue paper to the floor, find other seat at nearby table, and wait. We seldom see auntie cat fight in CH 8.

STOMPer Cassaundra was irked by the sight of this woman who put her feet up on a bus seat while wearing sandals.

The STOMPer said the woman didn't seem to be bothered by the stares she was getting from the rush-hour crowd.

The STOMPer wrote:

"This woman placed her feet with sandals on the seat on an SBS bus this morning.

"It was rush hour at 9am and she was so inconsiderate to occupy two seats on the crowded bus.

"She had no qualms about people staring at her disapprovingly and seemed to think that it was her right.

"She did not move the entire ride (I was on the bus for 15 mins)."

apparently the author of the photograph never mentioned that she said that, oddly enough

so someone added in those words
