also, today, driving to work was a pain and a half...
just outside my estate is a school.. during the school holidays,
the place is a breeze to get through.. today is the first day of
the 2nd semester.. and the whole place was crowded as heck.. took
forever to get out of my estate..
the roads weren't any better.. the expressway was full of cars,
most of them travelling at 85 or less when the speed limit is
90
oh well...
there's a story on BBC radio.. about queuing.. some people in
Africa said that queuing is pointless in their country.. everyone
pushes and shoves their way around...
i thought about sunday.. when i was waiting at a carpark... i
looked on the other side of the carpark
this dude was aggressively driving around.. when someone got into
his car, he accelerated really hard in a crowded carpark.. and
promptly stopped in front of the car which was trying to get out..
by stopping there, he also blocked cars from coming from the main
road into the car park... the whole place was gridlocked.. but he
refused to move.. even when he was actually blocking the car from
leaving the lot he wanted!!
only after a lot of blaring of the horn by others and some hand
gesturing, he moved a few feet, allowing the car to get out of the
lot.. he then proceeded to park his car instead of letting the
hugeass queue of cars move in first...
while this was happening, cars were moving off when i saw someone
behind me start his engine.. a big pickup truck and some cars were
exiting the carpark so i let them.. no point being like that
asswipe and block everyone.. let them through first... just as the
lot of them passed me, someone just zoomed up and parked in the lot
i was waiting for..
doesn't matter, i thought.. i'll just wait a little while
more..
and 2 minutes late, i got a park..
funny thing is that.. i was patiently waiting there for a parking
lot.. the 2 other motorists saw me.. but they are not the least bit
aware of their own boorish behaviour when they decided to grab a
parking lot from those who were there before them...
makes me wonder about the children who also got out from their
cars...
in happier news, i think tare's doggie will be well.. and i hope he
gets used to his lampshade soon even if, thankfully, it'll be
temporary
