hello thank you

Everyday, I struggle to get out of the MRT at my stop going home. To approach the door, I have to alternately say "hello" and "excuse me" or even combinations (Excuse me, excuse me, hello, excuse me, hello, hello) and when I finally get off, I say thank you to those who actually went off to make way.

I never get a reply--neither do I expect one, but I say it anyway.

Sometimes it is answered by a grunt, a tsk sound or stamping feet.

I don't mind, really.

Today was different.

Today, someone replied you're welcome!

The world is changing.

Your getting off the MRT saying hello reminds me of the Beatles song Hello Goodbye

You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

What a different song it would have been had you wrote it.

You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say grunt and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say tsk sound
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you grunt
I say hello

Not as good as the Beatles version, huh.

I actually really laughed out loud on this one!

I must say, that while Beatle-songs are classics, the new version is for me, a work of a true artist ;)
