More Horror Stories at the AGMs

Yes, I was told about more horror stories at the AGMs.

This friend of mine told me about a couple of incidents at the AGMs he has attended since last year.

This is what happened at the POS Malaysia luncheon at the Legend Hotel.

When the buffet was open, this women went over to the fish curry pot, dipped her hand fully into the pot and retrieved many pieces of fish which she then put onto her plate. Apparently, the pot of food was cold for her to this.All this while, she avoided eye contact with everyone and ignored taunts from the other shareholders. She was shouted at and some even scolded her, telling her to desist from scooping the fish out of the pot as it was for every body and she was polluting the pot of gulai with her hand. But it was to no avail!

Then,there was this old man that came to sit near my friend at the far corner of the restaurant. He had a plate full of fried chicken. Without a care to what the world thinks, he took out pieces of tissue paper from his pocket and wrapped each chicken,one by one, before putting them all into his already bulging pockets. He must be the Malaysian version of the Transporter!

This friend of mine then related to me me about an incident that happened to him at that luncheon.

He has just left his table to have dessert, leaving his door gift-a first day cover on it. From the corner of his eye, he saw an elderly man from the next table quickly popped to his table, opened the envelope to see whether the stamps were there and then he spirited the door gift away to his table.

After taking his dessert, my friend went to that man's table and accosted him; asking him why he has taken his door gift. At first the man pretended not to know what my friend was talking about. After some time, listening to my friend's lecture that he should not take things that does not belong to him, shame got the better of him and he just walked off. His wife then explained that he took it to compare whether the stamps were the same. Lame excuse! She then diffused the situation by taking the door gift and putting it back on my friend's table.

My friend agreed that at all the AGMs, those that embarrassed us most were Chinese senior citizen ladies. and yes; elderly men are also into this! They not only grabbed at the food like jackals but even tapao it home for consumption while others are deprived of their 'just desserts'!

At the rate they are doing this, I think they will be seeing their cardiologists very,very soon!
