Woman's Dress Caught - Boyfriend Watches Nonchalantly

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 that 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.’

For Real?

Is there even a need for an escalator here? If god forbid I ever fall off an escalator, I hope that it's this one. And I hope that it is also made out of rubber and bounces me into some type of moon bounce or mattress so that I am unharmed and emotionally unscathed.

'Today, I was at the mall with my mom. She was pissing me off, so I started screaming at her and causing a scene. I ended up falling all the way down the up escalator. Everyone saw and people clapped. FML.

1. That's because you are clearly a bad person.
2. Karma. It's a bitch... and your moms best friend.
3. you should never yell at your mom! she was taking you shopping and you screamed at her. You are so ungrateful.

5. I hope you broke your face
6. i no how moms r dude... cant blame u 4 causin a scene but next time chill... i yelled at my mom once when it was my birthday and i burned myself afterwards...
7. I struggle to believe that if somebody fell down an escalator, people would clap. Life isn't a Colosseum.
8. whenever my mom acts like a bitch in public, i dont make a scene.... i wait till we get home then steal money from her wallet and punch her.
9. To bad you mother did fall down some stairs when she was pregnant with you...what a spoiled brat.
10. How old are you, 9? You screamed at your mom and made a scene in a mall? You deserve all that and more. You should've fallen down the escalator and into a coffee stand and/or a fountain.
