One day, I went to a hawker centre inundated with people. They were actually queing up at a particular stall selling hokkien mee. I conjucture that their hokkien mee must be very delicious and famous that so many zealous food-lovers are queing up for it.

Out of the blue, the stallholder and a customer quarreled and several offensive words were heard. According to the customers queing up behind them, the quarrel broke out because the lax stallholder accidentally spilled the plate of hokkien mee onto the customer.

After quite some time, the quarrel was finally resolved when the stallholder decided to treat the customer their hokkien mee as an apology. And every customer heaved a sigh of relief as they can finally eat the deicious hokkien mee. I thought that if the stallholder were more meticulous, this incident would not have happened.
