Surprised

Today morning me n my hubby were heading towards my office when in one of the cuts he saw a car as far as three meters away, he took his turn to stand behind other car in line. BUT to both of our utter surprise, the crazy old arab lady (she resembeled palestinians/ jordanians or egyptians) with some old model car gave us a real big horn & started saying something & showed us the vulgar sign. Both of us were shocked at her behaviour & we almost lost our temper when I told him not to react to that crazy lady. I wanted to take her number & complain directly to the police about her vulgarity but then dismissed the idea & remembered my dad's words that with crazy ppl you cannot act like crazy otherwise there wont be any difference between you & them.

Do you guys out there too have some similar incident from ladies?

Andrews - I had to pay QR 100 + stamp fee for the Police Report but that is a small price to pay my pleasure of seeing the Horror on his Face :)

Andrews - See I not affraid. one time I was waiting to park my car in an empty lot near Wholesale Market. Suddenly this car appeared from nowhere (from the opposite direction) and parked. I got mad and hit him from the back and get out from the car & told him call the Police.

Bugger was stuned & I left to buy things until Police came. Bugger had 3rd Party Insurence and told him to claim his compensation from my Insurence if he wants.

I found out later he never claim anything and had to bear the cost.

He deserved it :)

Andrews - That kind of Insurence policy is called as Insurence Coverage with Deductables. This is about QR 500-1000 the most. This can be covered by paying a Higher premium for Insurence coverage.

BTW - I met with 4 accidents in 1 year and Damages were QR 7000 which was fully paid by the Insurence Co. My premium was QR3500. Next year I was refused insurence from them so I said Bye and took the policy with an another insurence co :)

Lol charan... but full insurance wont do any good here in qatar..Insurance guy will tell u some Cock n Bull story and you have to pay them 20% or something like that if your vehicle is not new.

I have a friend who uses the following abuses when he's frustrated with drivers of the above classification

1. I'll set ur grandma's ass on fire!

2. Go bite ur dad's bum!

His argument is thats when people hear these things their first reaction would be to laugh and he'd be abusing them too:)

Andrews - I am the Guy. I don't care who is right or wrong. I have full insurence to take care of any eventuality. The worst case scenerio I pay only QR 100 to the Traffic Police from my pocket.

Before I am like you... but this is Qatar, sooner you'll get use to it.

I can't change the drivers behavior and I will just waste my time and gain wrinkles by bothering myself to them.... just don't hit me and everything's fine.

Usage of road by rash drivers show that their Dads have given them this road in inheritance but I am sure if proper signals & wise driving sense is used all would be okay & driving experiences wont become nightmare for the rest ... cheers :)

Today morning I was coming from Firestation roundabout to croniche..one crazy guy from the pocket road put his vehicle in my lane. I applied the brake with full of my strength and stopped my vehicle inches away from his car.

To my surprise he signaled something as if it was my fault..

The reason for posting here, If he is a QLer.. just to remind him that while driving never depend other vehicle's brake...

it usually happens when u wanna park ur car. it's like waiting for 'gold' and suddenly without respect,they just 'snatch'in d parking space that we'r waiting. snap, just like that!!

then we hv to find another 'gold', damn!!

when it happens,it really hurts, but after a while u just hv to forget and move on with ya life.

To really upset crazy people- Smile real big and wave-let them see that their craziness doesn't affect you-this will really upset them or it might make her smile-either way you win. Plus you use more muscles to smile then to frown-smiling is a good face excercise!

well as most of you have probably seen, you are going up the road, and you see a car on the wrong side of the road coming towards you.

If it is a male of any race creed or colour, i stay and drive as usual, scares em half to death, they are the wrong, and any idiot with eyesight would notice it after the accident.

If it is an arabic lady? hehe, screw that, i will try and go over the curb, climb a mountain, will the car to levitate.

She might have been late to the "late 50's show" on TV.. Hence, the anger..

And then basically trying to console herself, and

hence the finger..

No worries..

Think of it this way. You just got reminded that you are a civil human being. And you reacted in a civil manner so its like a compliment to your manners :)You can't control anyone but you.
