Real Life "Bull In A China Shop"


Coffee-O,



I got to share this story with you. I went for an outdoor survival stint with a "group of people" and guess what I met, for the first time in my life, a real life "bull in a china shop". We had this activity where the group was broken up into smaller teams and we had to get stuff that the facilitator called out.....the snag is....you can steal the stuff from the other teams if you did not have them in your own team....even if it was right out of the hand of your opponent. And by golly..... I saw this particular lady bulldoze another team .....and i mean physically..... to get the stuff out of another team member's hand. They tumbled to the ground and the "victim" hit her head on the stack of chairs that lined the hall and the "bull" was lying on top of the victim pinning her to the ground until she got the stuff out of the "victim's" hand.



The moral of the story is - it's not worth getting hated, bearing dagger stares from other people and placing your reputation on the line for a mere five ringgit bill. Anyway, we being nice, pleasant and peace loving Malaysians couldn't help but let our jaws drop open at the sight.
