The 2013 Collection
By: Samantha Pereira, Annabelle Maria Jeffrey and Lakshmi Ganesan
In light of the recent incidents that have been happening all over Singapore, and taking full advantage of the year-end lists that everyone is spewing out, we’ve scoured the web and compiled a collection of people losing the plot. Be it in the train or the library, we’ve picked the best 10 wildest moments that have happened in Singapore this year, and we’ve even awarded them stars and achievement titles.
THE CURSING RAMPAGE
Nothing ever goes down in a library, but earlier in October at Northpoint library, things changed up when a man lost his marbles because his apparent rightful space was taken up by another man’s tablet. The debacle started off with an exchange of cursing before escalating to a monarchy-esque argument where the man demanded respect and space because he hailed from the SAF Commando Unit & the Special Forces Counter Terrorist Unit. After several attempts to placate this so-called elitist, the other man walked away knowing that he wasn’t part of the looney department.

PEEPSHOW SCANDAL
According to this particular auntie, underboobs are just too much for one person to handle. So at the Anime Festival 2013, instead of merely walking pass a female cosplayer dressed as Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill, she chose to call her out publicly, make a police report about her ‘indecent attire’ and even berated the girl in front of other cosplayers, which had the girl pouring her eyes out while making a dash for the exit.

PSEUDO ROPEWALKRemember the glass droplet sculpture in the Terminal 1 that we’ve all spent numerous minutes just watching it go up and down? Last month, a lady moseyed across the installation without any warning or notice. It might have been a YOLO moment for her, but for the others watching that few minutes of amateurish tightrope walking, it was a nail-biting debacle because none of them could do anything but let out a few gasps and sighs.

ONE-SIDED SPITTING COMPETITION
The adage in Singapore goes: Hell hath no fury like a Singaporean that just got cut in line. Without a doubt, cutting queues in Singapore have raised voices and fists, like this incident that happened in late October, involving an adult male choosing to fight a lady who had gestured him to get in line at the Woodlands bus interchange. Taking the high road, he chose not to act out his violent tendencies, but instead, he mustered up enough saliva and pressure to spit at her face. Not happy with the range he got, he went ahead and spat at her again before being told that he had to take it down a notch.

HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPS OF FEMALE WRESTLING
Like 2 bucks ramming their antlers together, these 2 ladies put up a show that was worth every minute. Presumably, they were fighting over their knight in shining armour, who was present at the scene. The rough but frail girls were seen screaming “You get lost” to each other, while trying to throw each other’s footing off; a few punches were also exchanged but like WWE, the brunts didn’t involve much of an impact. Throughout the entire fiasco, the knight in shining armour was seen flailing his arms, and being redundant.
