Misunderstanding causes a huge embarassment

I saw a woman today, waiting at the covered bus-stop, she was flagging/waving her hand frantically to what it seemed calling for a taxi. Just then, a taxi from the fast lane, crossed to the bus stop to pick her up. But she did not move, she kept waving her hand, just then i saw behind me the bus stop, she was going for the bus. Oh man, what a poor taxi driver, having need to get the scoldings from the traffic and earn himself 1 less passenger just because of a woman's shortsightedness.

Like who would wave so climatically just for a bus, of course the big vehicle would see her, furthermore, it could be like seen miles away, she could have just waved as the bus approached the station not so far behind when so many taxis pass by.

Singaporeans embarassing behaviour should be refined to a more perfect level, where one knows the rules and feelings of others before acting. Moment of rashness should not be pardoned wherever and whenever possible.

Hey, I should post this on Stomp but I know it wouldn't cause much of a discussion as everyone would most likely disagree with me. Change subject today, I learnt a couple of new words in the dictionary- Jekyll and Hyde, Kleenex, Google, Youtube.

English is what seems a forever improving language, everyday new trademarks and words are formed and added to Longman. Haze is one new word definitely I learnt it means mocking someone and making fun of him, no more the usual smoke and unclearness caused by some hug forest fire or pollution nearby.

I also read that coin flips are flaws. The side which a guy is planning to have it land on, is most likely the starting position of the coin before it is thrown. Probability of that is more than 50%.
Ok, this is not real, i was just making an assumption.
