Civilization

A brief conversation when I was sitting at a mamak store 14 feet level under my KL home:

Mamak: (saw a guy who is dirtying the floor with his smoke ashes) Here's the ash tray.
Guy: (look at the mamak for 2 secs) What? I don't think need this.
Mamak: (stare at the floor and him confused)
Guy: You know why ah? I need you to clean this up for me later. Ash on the floor cannot ah? You sweep la!
Mamak: (pissed and walk away)

It shows that in this so-often-called- the civilized world, there are still beings that were stuck between the boundaries of beast and human. If it wasn't a civilized world that me and my friends realized that we are in, he would be clubbed to death in two minutes.
