Things that annoyed me.....

.... while I was in Bintulu!

1. When out shopping, Bintuluans (is there such thing?, but whatever la!) would not bother with shopping baskets. They would go along the aisles, grab whatever they need and put them in their arms. When their shoppings are overflowing the arms, they would drop them off onto the cashier counter and off they go again hunting for more items. So you would see a pile of shopping that belong to just anyone on the counter.

2. When they drive on dual carriageway, they would drive slowly on the right lane. And you would have to overtake them on the left lane.

3. When they change lanes, they would not bother using the indicator lights.

4. When driving at night, some of them would not bother to turn on the headlights.

5. When the traffic light turns red, it would still mean 'go'.

6. They would not think twice about blocking the road when they park.

7. They would get out of a junction regardless how close/fast you are to the junction.

8. They do not know how to queue up. If you queue up at the counter, you would have people jumping the queue, without feeling any guilt for doing so.

9. They love to clear their throats and spit in public.
