A woman was filmed blocking a bus in Singapore and demanding that the driver do a U-turn after she had reportedly missed her stop.

On Sunday Facebook netizen Pravin Kumar uploaded a four-minute video showing the woman blocking Bus 43 bound for Punggol outside the MacPherson MRT station, The Independent reported. She blamed the driver for missing her stop and demanded that he turn back to where she had to get off.

The woman, who spoke in Chinese, said she took the bus from the East Coast. The driver told her she had yet to arrive at her stop but she got angry as she felt she was traveling further away from her destination.

Kumar wrote on his post that the driver tried his best to convince the lady it was impossible to turn back but she kept arguing regardless.

A couple stepped in to defuse the situation. They explained to the lady that she was blocking the bus and only then did she relent and allow it to continue its journey.

Most netizens were displeased with the woman’s behaviour, with some saying she was focused too much on her smartphone and not on the road. Others applauded the couple’s well-mannered approach in diffusing the matter.

  1. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if
    you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that
    automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with
    something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything.
    I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  2. Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to
    browse your website on my iphone during lunch break.
    I enjoy the knowledge you present here and
    can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked
    at how fast your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just
    3G .. Anyhow, wonderful blog!

  3. Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you
    download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really
    make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme.
    With thanks

  4. Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was
    just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you prevent it,
    any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s
    driving me crazy so any help is very much appreciated.

  5. I will right away clutch your rss feed as I can’t in finding your e-mail
    subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you’ve any?

    Please let me realize in order that I could subscribe.
    Thanks.

    feed and I hope you write again soon!

  7. An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto
    a coworker who was doing a little research on this.
    And he in fact bought me breakfast because I stumbled upon it for
    him… lol. So allow me to reword this….
    Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to discuss this subject here on your
    website.

  8. We stumbled over here by a different website and thought I should check things out.
    I like what I see so i am just following you.
    Look forward to finding out about your web page again.

  9. Hi! I’ve been reading your web site for a long time
    now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from
    Humble Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the great job!

  10. Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?

    I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?

  11. I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading very slow for me.
    Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem
    on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

  12. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself
    or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply
    as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would
    like to find out where u got this from. cheers

  13. I think what you said made a ton of sense. However, what about this?
    what if you added a little information? I am not saying your information isn’t solid, but what if you added a title to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean Woman misses her stop, blocks bus from
    moving in Singapore – Asia Times is a little plain. You could
    glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news headlines to grab
    people interested. You might add a video or a pic or two to
    grab people interested about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it
    could make your website a little livelier.
