Here's the story.
I was rushing to get to my 9am studio class today after getting off the subway, and had to stop at the crosswalk because the light turned red. A woman in my peripheral vision seemed lost and couldn't find her way and asked a girl next to me if she could direct her to ________ Street. The girl gave her a "Oh EW, don't come near me look" and curtly told the woman "Sorry, I'm not from around here."
NO - I'M SORRY. This girl was obviously lying, you could see it in her tone and facial expression of disgust, PLUS SHE LOOKED LIKE A STUDENT. Ugh, what a B*TCH. That in itself disgusted me.
The woman turned to me after and asked me, practically begging.
So I told her, with my poor mental map and now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I pointed her in the right direction.
Why is it so hard to give someone directions? Is it that difficult to show that Torontonians possess a little courtesy ?
No wonder people think we're rude. WE ARE! Is this the reputation we've built for ourselves because we're too self-centered to care about anyone else? Are we really that far embedded in this ME-ME-ME mentality?
Think on that.
That's all I've got to say for today.
Hopefully I don't have a heart attack while I'm on my way home, because God knows, no one in Toronto will bother to take a second look and try to help me , or even call 911.
