trolley fright

I was nearly killed by a woman yesterday.

My family & I went to the airport to pick up my future sis-in-law (she went to Perth for her co. retreat...so good right?) and have just entered T1 via the carpark. We were approaching the travelator when this woman (don't know from which c'try...China, Korea, Taiwan?) with a cart load of luggage (think there were 2-3 luggage bags) came speeding down it. I think she didn't know how to use the airport trolley so she kept pressing down on the handle (which releases the brake) and she just followed the trolley down the travelator at breakneck speed. By this time, I was just about in front of the travelator & saw this strange woman about to crash into me with this trolley of luggage. Fortunately, I managed to jump out of the way just in time...or else you might not see me typing this already...Might have been paralysed or dead.

The worst thing was she was laughing all the way! Can you believe this woman? She should have been worried rather laughing away...like it was fun. I mean, she's not those young kids leh (think her husband & kids were behind her) and how can she be so irresponsible and disregard the safety to others?! She could have killed somebody with the trolley! (It was that fast & the trolley looked really heavy...probably that's why it was so fast). It's ok if she doesn't know how to use the trolley, but be serious about the situation. She didn't even apologise even after we stared at her. She just continued laughing & laughing (like in our face)...she must be mad/hysterical man. Her husband who was coming down the travelator properly said something but I didn't catch it or couldn't understand it. What an example to her kids man. Hope she doesn't kill anybody on the road if she drives.
