A fren of mine who is working as an engineer shared with me a office politics of his. He'd known this female colleague of his for 4 years. Let's call her miss A. Miss A lives in Clementi, and my fren Jason lives in Bishan. There is another mutual colleague of theirs call miss B. Initially Miss A wanted miss B to drive her to work. Miss B lives in Bukit Timah. However on that morning, Miss B would have to reach the office by 8am. Miss A dun have to reach so early, as she juz need to reach by 815. So Miss A was saying, aiya, like that i have to reach earlier by 15 minutes, that means i have to sleep short of 15 minutes. In the end, she asked my fren who is stayin in Clementi to pick her up.
Jason usually wakes up at 645 for work. Because of picking up miss A, he has to wake up around 6am to make sure he picks her up on time. However, he couldn't sleep much that night and ended up waking at 5am. He didn't dare to sleep, for fear that he will sleep past the time. So in the end he went breakfast with his parents early in the morning. He sms miss A and told her he might be early and asked her to get ready.
Miss A's reply was : "Aiya, if i know that u are picking me up early, i would have juz asked miss B to come fetch me, i think is ok lar, u go urself i go myself".
My fren's reply was : "i dun dare, you make me wake up so early, i am already on my way, i will wait until you come down."
When the both of them reached the office, Miss A started to grumble :"aiya, like that i might as well juz take the lift from miss B..sian".
At the end of the day, Jason, sms miss A and told her he was quite disappointed about the whole thing and how miss A shouldn't utilise a fren in this way.
What do u think? I think miss A deserves one tight slap on her face. Didn't know this kind of gal exist in the world lor. Never ever take a fren for granted. Never ever.
