Silly Singaporeans

Despite the seemingly high levels of education and affluence of the people in Singapore, I am repeatedly appalled by how many of us still have not seemed to grasp the necessary aptitude to fill up entry forms in its entirety. In my course of work, I am required to compile customer information into our company databse and this somewhat mundane task is made increasingly frustrating with incomplete fields, illegible handwriting or even nonsensical answers. Honestly, is it too much to ask to draw a dash or pen the alphabets NA on fields that are not applicable to you?

Other idiosyncarcies of nonchalant Singaporeans:
- 28 Dover Court: no postal code, either this person does not care or is totally oblivious.
- 28 Dover Court #02-02: do I assume this is an apartment block? Or is the person trying to make his address pass off as one in a condominium?
- #02-02 28 Dover Court Dover Road S'123456: don't they know there is a specific order in which addresses are written in?

There is no end to the sheer level of inanity which continues to baffle and annoy me. Graaaaah!!
