Other people

I live in a private estate. Okay, private estates usually have those kind of luxury facilities like a pool, a gym, a sauna/jacuzzi, a tennis court,  a READING ROOM and a PLAYROOM FOR KIDS. I like going to the reading room to do my homework or study because it's said to be quiet, it's free, it's right in the middle of the estate and it has aircon.

In March, I hosted a little reunion party for my favorite class, 6E. But I didn't book the damn barbeque pit because it costed 70 bucks and there was not much to barbeque anyway. My parents are only proactive in parties when it's about THEIR friends so they left almost all the work of the party to me. Yes, I was only 12 years old so it ended up in a disaster. First of all, one of my classmates got really hyper and excited that he ran into my patio door and we had to get an ambulance. This accident made the security guards cautious of us. We were a bunch of preteens having a pool party. However, I don't blame my classmate or the accident. I'll talk about it later in this rant. Anyway, the security guards were watching our every freaking move and took every single chance to snub us. If we put our stuff down to just hang out somewhere, one of them will come and tell us to go some other place to party. The glass at my house was currently getting cleared up, so we couldn't go there. The same thing happened at the swimming pool. Like, dude, what the hell is your problem?

When I finally stood up to them, they said, "You shouldn't be making too much of a racket. The senior citizens keep complaining." Nobody, especially senior citizens who just wanna rest, could have so much free time to keep on picking up their phone and complaining to the estate management. Besides, we were NOT making a racket at all! Another thing was that it was a Thursday, so most adults would be at work. But still, I took their word for it that it was the senior citizens complaining.

After the party, I notice parents always take their toddlers to the swimming pool and they make more noise than a cage full of gibbons and hyeenas. Nope, no security guard present. No complaints made to the management that it was too noisy.

When I go do my work at the reading room, parents and sometimes senior citizens THEMSELVES bring their kids to the reading room to play and make a racket. They stay there to enjoy the aircon and they don't go out. It makes me think that they INSIST on disturbing the other residents in the reading room because there is a bloody playroom right next to the reading room. It's either they're plain irritating or they're visually impaired.

The security guards can turn a blind eye to this, but harass me and my friends incessantly during the little gathering. WHAT THE FLIPPING HELL DOES THAT MEAN? If you're thinking, "I totally agree with you, but why can't you just complain to the management that these security guards aren't doing their job?" I jolly well have the ability to do that. It's just that if I complain and PREVENT these people from being annoying, I will be titled as 'The Selfish Little Bitch Who Hates Babies'. So in conclusion, the senior citizens weren't the ones who complained, the security guards were just biased. Yeah, everyone hates preteens and loves toddlers.
