Coin throwed while waiting to park

This last friday, I got another bad moments with young people who wear thobe. I can't say if they are Qatari's but i might say they are arabs coz they are wearing white thobe.

While waiting someone for moving his car from parking lot, i parked my car from right side and turn my hazard light on. The place is near by centerpoint mall.

So while im waiting in a reasonable place along the road to park my car while waiting, i've check the road distance if my car can block some coming cars, and i've seen theres enough space for right and left side road.

But suddenly there's a L-Cruiser horn me at the back, after that, coins hit my windows, i think it's around 6 to 10 coins hit my car. Then after i get shocked, i saw two young arabs smiling from the L-Cruiser.

Suddenly my blood pressure goes up!!! i almost hit my pedal to go after them, but i realized that im here in Qatar, and I'm not with my own country.

This is the 2nd bad moments i've encountered with arrogants, uneducated young arabs.

They are lucky coz im here to work and not to smashed a face with PPL like them.

But all i can do is to pray for their souls. XD

To OP: I'm more of the instant gratification type, rather than the moral high ground view.

Don't ignore them. It just encourages them to do it again. Get out, damage their car in kind, and then leave. They're kids. The don't own the country, rather they are simply citizens of it. They can't have you deported; and, in my experience, anyone who says they can almost always cannot.

Alternatively, reverse into them, and then claim they rear-ended you. Any damage will be their fault. Or just travel with a bag of pennies.

Just shows their level of education(or the lack of it!) Just be glad you are not in such a lowly position in life unlike them.

got not so nice experience with LC's as well last Friday.

near their praying time at the state mosque. they drove like hell and it seems don't wanna be late for praying that even 2-way street - they are making it one way all the way to the mosque.

i was on their opposite lane and i have to go down on the rocky side just to give way to those LC's coming my way who counter flows. oh wel... i just thought they are gonna pray anyway...

Chairboy yeah u're right... i just made this post to burst out my bad feeling to them. and thanking you guys for understanding.

osamabawab, i recently got my new repaint for my car, and its in wet look. solid small things like a coin can scratch a wet look paint.

Dont waste your time with the police - that is just going to make you MORE frustrated. Just pity them their inadequcy as decent human beings. The fact that they roared off after throwing coins at your car speaks volumes about them. Dont compromise yourself by coming down to their KG status - just laugh at them - if possible laugh in their face and show them the respect they just showed you!!

By plipanselmo• 1 Jul 2012 11:18
plipanselmo

as i said from my story... after they give me a BIG horn, they passed by rapidly and throw me a coins. i just saw the guy face smiling at the right side mirror.

By osamabawab• 1 Jul 2012 11:17
osamabawab
