this is another 'strange phenomenon' in singapore
not sure if this happens in other countries...i doubt it...hahahha
anyways i found this really erm...amusing...
okie...
i only knew of such a practice when i was doing my attachment thingy earlier this year
during lunchtime working adults practice this tissue-paper-chopping-seats-technique
for those who are wondering, wad's 'chopping'? chopping also means 'reserving'!
yea...they use packets of tissue paper(paper napkins) to reserve seats in the food court, the food centre...everywhere!
so during lunchtime u can see empty tables and seats, with packets of tissue paper on the seats
i heard from my friend that they also had this encounter but knew of it the 'hard way'
they went down to the food centre for lunch and saw this empty seats with tissue paper on it
and of cos they assumed someone forgot their packet of tissue paper
so they just occupied those seats
and then
someone came back to the table and like scolded them for taking their seats
hmm?
we students never heard of such a practice...until then...
now i wonder...
if anyone ever tried to 'chop' their seats with their namecard....
oh that's gonna be funny....
