STOMPer henry got involved in an argument with a female driver after she insulted the cyclist for
being 'poor' when he didn't help her pump air into her vehicle's tyres at a petrol kiosk in Braddell.The STOMPer wrote: "While cycling to work, I stopped at the SPC petrol kiosk at Braddell Road to
pump my bicycle tyres. "When I reached the kiosk, there was a driver who also wanted to pump
air into her vehicle's tyres. "So, I waited for my turn. "The driver tried pumping air into the tyres
but couldn't get it in. "She then asked "is air going in?", to which I said no. "She tried it a few more
times before going up to the petrol kiosk attendant to ask for help. "At that point of time, I took my
turn and used the station to pump air into my bicyle tyres. "When she got back, she asked why I
didn't help her, and went on to say that we Singaporeans must help each other. "I just looked at her
and kept quiet but then, she started insulting me. "I couldn't take it anymore so I told her off by saying:
"When was it a must for me to help you when you never asked? And then when I don't help you, you insult me.
What logic is that?""If you're a driver and don't know how to pump air into your tyres, then you might as well take a bus or taxi!""But she replied: "I have never taken the bus in my life, not like you poor people who cannot afford a car!""Well, the rest of the conversation was made up of cursing and swearing!"
