an incident at employee entrance

There’s a big crowd at our employee entrance when I finished work yesterday. Apparently, the time I got out from office coincides with those shuttlecock orcs’ dismissal time … and as a result of that, I was caught in that human traffic congestion at the entrance.

Why the congestion ? Because everyone’s flocking to the same scanner to check out from the factory… creating a bottleneck effect. When you have like a hundred over people taking a few seconds each to scan their fingerprints … you’re talking about 10 - 15 minutes wait there.

Alright, fast forward a few minutes later, I found myself standing behind Candy (if you can remember him) after cueing in to a loose line … It was his turn to scan out. Great … I thought … coz I will be next.

Candy, being in his usual effeminate and jovial self, started to ‘get ready’ for the scan (note: there were approximately more than 10 pairs of eyes witnessing him doing that so… he’s kinda acting up a bit). He first looked around with a big lusty smile while keying his ID … and placed his index finger on the scanner. BEEP BEEEP BEEEP. It prompted an error.

“~~Oooh my gawwwd… what happpppened ~~~ ?”. He looked around again, gave out his sheepish trademark pondan smile… and got ready for a re-scan. This time, he cracked some ladies up by posing some goofy kungfu stance to “charge up” his almighty finger .. and place it on the scanner again. BEEP BEEEP BEEEP. It prompted another error.

“~~Oooohhh … what isss happppening here ~~~?” he cried out in a soft spoken manner. Now that the scanner has reset (it only allows 2 scans), he has to re-enter his ID again. There were some hints of frustration in him … as I can see him mumbling something to himself while keying in his ID. Again, he made some more kungfu stances to “power up” his fingers … and placed his finger on the scanner again. BEEEEP BEEEP BEEEP. Error again.

“LE MAH EH PHOOOOOOOO KEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EH !!!!!!! BEH EONGGGGG EHHHHHHH !!!!!????” he belched out loud in hokkien. It literally translates as “YOUR MOTHER’S CUNT !!!!!! WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING !!!???”. He was fuming mad and almost wrecked the whole scanner (he would have done it if it’s not for the security guard eyeing on him)

His reaction kinda took everyone by surprise. I mean, he’s usually feminine and all that … but this is like unbelievably “too virile” to be himself.

I was suppressing myself hard not to laugh, for fear that he might turn around and took it all out on me instead. Sure I can level his ass out flat on the floor with just one hand … but, I’ve got a reputation to preserve…. so, better be safe than sorry.

He finally managed to scan his finger through at the 4th attempt, and he’s back to himself again … you know, swaying his hips in a leisure gait and singing hokkien songs as he glides through the air. Pondans.

Lesson learnt : Do not mess with pondans. They can be very violent when they’re extremely aggravated.

    tEo - you’re an SYT ? got picture to verify ah ?

    jason - ID tags can be exchangeable. Fingers you can’t. (Well, unless you chop them off.)
    Just in case you wanted to ask why would anyone want to exchange their ID tags … here’s my answer in advance. 1 person = 2 person’s overtime. Figure that out.

    fuch / fishfish - yep. even though the software may be different or tweaked, the hardware’s still the same. No shit.

    ags - his name’s actually Can*something*. I changed it to preserve the person’s identity. (as he’s quite famous, and I’ve got tonnes of anonymous readers from my workplace)

    pikey - yo dude, long time no see.

    summer - don’t lar … say “my” candy. I’m a straight guy you know … kanneh…
