I love human nature. They are actually very good and useful in our life.
Have you ever noticed when you are in a lift in two other people and when they pressed the floor where they live. They will try to spot your floor and other people's floor and what they will do is to try to order themself in whereby the 2nd floor people stand at the front and the 12th floor people stay at the back. It actually works!! When the lift is on the second floor, the person on the second floor would already be at the entrance of the lift... Wow?! Then it is like a systematic system whereby you go out, I come in, I go back, you go in front and then you go out and I go out. Simple and fast...
On a tropical day in a crowded bus... Sigh.... But wait! An empty seat! Oh my god! You don't see an empty seat in a crowded bus everyday do you? But why isin't anyone seating in that seat? But someone is seating on the outer seat. ( I am not refering to anyone, so please do not think I am refering to someone or something in particular) But why can't another person request to go in the inner seat and sit on it? Why have a "hole" in the middle of the bus? And I feel it is a shame for bus captian or SBS/SMRT bosses to paste the "PLEASE MOVE TO THE REAR" sign. It is really very weird. People have brain and human nature and instinct, they will move behind... But wait... Did they? No? Aww.... It look weird when we have to be told to move behind... Haha!!

I somehow agree with what you said. Humans are actually quite smart and they only are considerate (not referring to all)if they benifit from it too. Just look at the example Jun Jie had given. People only order themselves in the lift because it BENIFITS themselves. However, in the bus where they have 2 seats, they do not want to give their seat up, as it DOES NOT BENIFIT them.
