Woman's long dress gets stuck on escalator, boyfriend just watches rescue passively
It is not only children who get their shoes dangerously stuck in the gaps at the sides of escalators. Even grown-ups like this woman in her long white dress do it, as STOMPer Antonio witnessed yesterday at Raffles City.
He saw the woman struggling frantically as her long dress got snagged in the gap at the side of the elevator leading up from the Raffles Place Marketplace.
It was the fast action of the shopping mall's maintenance people that was impressive, contrasting sharply with her Caucasian boyfriend, who appeared either extremely calm or extremely useless (depending on how you want to view the situation).
He just stood idly by as the Raffles City maintenance men fetched scissors to cut the snagged hem of the long dress.
It wasn't an easy task as the hem had bunched up, making it thought to cut through. In the midst of all this, the boyfriend just stood aside, probably he was embarrassed by the attention and the stares of the crowd watching the entire thing. At one point, he was even reading a brochure.
“So useless! What happened to chivalry? He should have taken the scissors, got down to his knees and start snipping away,” said Antonio.
After about 15 minutes, the scissors did its job and the woman was free.
Here's a warning to all women from Antonio: ‘If you wear a long dress, stand in the middle of he escalator. Of course, if you want to avoid this, wear shorts, which is why shorts is so popular amongst Singapore women -- and the guys love it as well.’
