Are You A papEr PeEpiNg ToM?
I admit I am (in a way)...
When the journey on the train gets a little bored and I have no idea where to rest my eyes upon, I read off the loud headlines that a fellow passenger is reading... be it the newpaper, ST, wanbao lah...
In fact, take a look around the passengers (sitting or standing up) around a passenger engrossed in his/her daily and 99% of the time, at least one will be sneaking a peek or having his/her eyes trained on the papers.
This is still pretty acceptable as we humans are curious by nature (aren't we?) but this crosses the line:
Imagine you are minding your own business and happily digesting in the latest gossip in the entertainment circle in your daily wanbao. Then from the corner of your eye, you sense a looming shadow over your paper...
You turned to see the passenger sitting next to you leaning in to 'share' your paper.
Familiar?
I have seen this countless times on the train.
Please people, if you wanna read, get your own copy.
Or at least ask. Don't be a paper peeping tom.
