So I am walking towards my bus-stop after work when this dude in pointy boots, standing outside this line of eating places, looks me up and down and says in the most annoying desi-road-romeo manner, "Helllllooooobeautiful...!"
Now this kind of thing just doesn't happen here so for a brief moment I stop in my tracks, very very confused. The radio station located in my head is playing "It happens only in India!" (including the 'tadang-tang' music that follows right after). And just when I am contemplating whether to ignore him or give him a dirty look (I've been in Singapore so long I have forgotten how to deal with these morons), he suddenly remembers that he's actually a waiter and is not supposed to do this to potential customers. His facial expression instantly changes, and he suddenly goes all polite and earnest on me, as if it's the first time he's speaking to me.
"Hi ma'am, set dinner for you?"
What the..?! :/

I can see! :P Lekin phir bhi tu har post par end mein aati hai! :P
Well, Ms Sayesha, with regard to your earlier blogpost, it would appear that there may be several "points of no return", one being in this situation you described. It's the point when you still elicit a compliment and it raises your ire. The final point then, will be chronological, when whichever way and whomever from the compliment comes, you're at such a vintage that you seize it. May our prayers be that nobody gets there.
Maybe that was his way to draw attention to his shop!! And he succeeded...in whatever way and manner...I know ...u just wont agree to it...honestly, I would have created a rucus there had I heard such nonsensical stuff...Just cant get rid of this kind .... and that does not mean u hv to put up with them...all I am saying is that no matter where u r...these creatures never die...
LOL.. I just cant stop laughing /smiling...
