Adapting the environment to oneself

I went to Ang Mo Kio yesterday, and was waiting for my bus home when i bumped into a rather wierd incident yesterday. See scene reconstruction below.

The dark gray area is the road and bus bay while the lighter gray area is the pavement at the bus stop. The blue rectangle is a top down view of the signboard which shows what numbers are available from that stop. The green dot is a green garbage bin and the yellow dot is Lady B at the bus stop waiting for her bus.

All seems normal and uneventful, until Lady A came along. Lady A then moved towards Lady B (who was minding her own business waiting for the bus) and then decided to squeeze herself into the tiny space between Lady B and the garbage bin. I mean, of all the places to stand..

Lady B then feeling a little crowded, coz the space between the garbage bin was not really enuff for another person to fit in, moved away. Lady A then assumes the position which Lady B was at previously.

Then suddenly, the evil green garbage bin lashed out with it smelly stink, or so i assumed. Lady A began to use her foot to push the green garbage bin along the path of the dotted line to the spot marked by the red X. After that, Lady A walked back to the yellow circle position and waited for the bus except that now, the whole bus stop of people were peeping at her.

I might not have drawn accurately, but the bin in the new position was gonna be a hindrance for movement of commuters running for the bus. Not that i'm saying people should run for the bus, but some do.

I cannot help but remember George Lam's advertisment for some beer where he say he'll rather change the surrounding to suit him.
