4)crazy aunty after you get down the bridge who always asks for coins for notes.(by always ends up with the excuse of not having the right amount, so you'll just end up giving her like $2 worth of coins for free)
5)smelly shed where we keep our smelly equipments beacuse we never wash them
6)naughty moneys that stole wei kangs unopened bag of Doritos and 2 of my really cute pink tupperware bottles.
