Donate a Spine to the Freaks who Need 'em...

It's a shame that some people still hide behind a veneer of anonimity and act with shameless cowardice.

In a nutshell "Anonymous Rudeness".

I find it extremely bad-mannered when this telephone conversation occurs:

*SF = Spineless Freak

Ring rrringgg
Me: Hello.
SF: Hello?? Who's that?
Me: (privately thinking, this woman doesn't know who she's calling? what? she randomly dials numbers ah?) This is Mediha, who's speaking please?
SF: What? What number is this?
Me: 03-2077000. Can I -

Why why WHY can't you take 5 seconds to say "I'm sorry, I must have gotten the wrong number."
Or even the 2 second version of "Sorry, wrong number."

I also find it rather amusing to see people who post comments to other people's blogs anonymously. There's nothing especially wrong with that, of course... But if the anonimity is just an excuse to be vulgar, rude or plainly offensive, I find it incredibly pathetic.

In the cinema, when the lights are out and the place is dark, a person arrives a little late and is edging his way down the aisles looking for his seat, a lone SF calls out "Oii Bodoh! Duduk laaa!! Aku tampar kanggg!"

I'm thinking, if the lights were on, and the SF was identifiable instead of being a faceless anonymous out there in the rows & rows of seats..... would he still be so callously rude? Are you a man or a mouse squid?

And on the road, in traffic. You see all sorts of offensive behaviour... Is it because one feels shielded and concealed in one's car? Drive like a maniac, flash your middle finger out the window, cut queues and tailgate... Would you still do this if the other drivers out there know who you are?

It's not possible to be anonymous at this day and age. Seriously. There's caller ID, which I love to use when my brothers' "girlfriends" call and hang up when anyone other than their 'boyfriend' picks up the phone. (That's just SO kurang ajar, okay.)

Anonymous comments on the Internet do NOT remain anonymous for long... When a person is rude enough to induce curiosity, his identity WILL be unearthed.

And on the road, it's ridiculous to think that you can just speed off and never feel the consequences of your actions. Unless your car is completely unidentifiable or your plate number is obscured, you may just one day find your car deeply scratched or your windshield smashed... by a fellow spineless freak. Probably the same one you were rude to a couple of days before.

The world is small enough for you to run the risk of meeting the victims of your rudeness. And if you're unlucky enough, you will be unmasked by the very people you do NOT wish to make a bad impression on.

If you insist on being a spineless freak, go invest in some rubber-masks or something.
