I cant understand why it is so hard for a person to say "excuse me".
I was with my classmates at Bugis last evening. While being there and on the way to the train platform, i encountered two fellow pedestrians trying to walk past me. One just walk past me knocking my bag and the other one brushing my shoulders while walking past me. Both of them just walked past neither saying "excuse me" at the very first, nor did they apologize there after.
Is it so difficult so say "excuse me"?
Try doing the same thing to a gangster, and see what you will have in return. If you apologize or you say "excuse me", at most they will just stare-stare at you only, better than brush across them or knock them by the shoulders and walking away, of which you will receive beatings in return. And even if you still get beaten up after saying "excuse me" and/or apologized, the beatings you'll receive is definitely lesser than the vice-versa.
