weird neighbour, newspaper

The uncle next door is quite weird. Yesterday he knocked on my door, askimg me to help him buy Straits Times today cos he is bringing his wife to see the doctor early in the morning.

I was thinking, how early can that be? Even if you have to leave your house early, you can always buy the newspaper from the newstand at the bus stop or MRT station, or even the convenience store when you've reached the hospital.

Somemore, it's not like we have nothing to do, we have to work or go to school (fine, today I have no lessons) So I asked, after I've bought the newspaper I put it outside your door? (I can't be waiting at home whole day long just to hand the newspaper to you right?) Then he said no, scare ppl know inside no people, and asked me to pass the newspaper to the lady next door. -_-" What the... in the first place he could have just asked that lady to buy the paper right? Have to mobilise 3 households just to buy newspaper...

Sometimes people just like to get convenience at the expense of other people's inconvenience.
