pickpockets
or is it pick-shoulderbag-ers?
to ladies who possess handbags/schoolbags/whatever which has no zip to enclose your bag. BEWARE.
and if you're in the train at the same time. BEWARE x2
and then. when it's not even crowded and someone behind you kept pushing you as if to squeeze past you but never. BEWARE x3
and when you turn back and you vaguely see that man (or to be specific a BANGLADESHI) just took something out from somewhere (but probably from YOUR bag). BEWARE x4
and then this woman behind you tapped on your shoulder, and said "he snatched your phone!"
-------------------------------------------------------
my reflex action must have been really fast. everything ended in less than 2 minutes. i chased after the BLARDY BANGLA. he walked really fast back into the train thinking i dont know what he had done. i ran after him. but he was moving on to the next carriage. i was afraid i couldnt catch him in time. (sidenote: I WAS ALREADY LATE FOR THIS SURVEY I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO at 1.30pm. ANYONE WHO ENTERS THE ROOM MORE THAN 15min LATE WILL BE DENIED ACCESS TO THE ROOM. IT WAS 1.32pm at cityhall.) so then i shouted across (i cannot believe i actually did that) "return me my phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!" i strongly feel that everyone was looking at me. but i couldnt care less. i want back my phone. and i am late.
he tried to escape by going out of the train again. i was god damn pissed. i went right up to him. just behind him. he turned, took out my phone, and returned it, saying "sorry sorry".
he's in luck cuz i was rushing for time. if not i would have done more than just taking my phone back.
all i can say now is. i should have been more alert. and luckily he didnt run further if not i would have to chase him and miss that survey.
*relief
