I’ve changed a lot for the past few months.
I know… because something happened this week. So my brother was asking me to borrow the car since I am on the gym that time and he needed it to visit his friend in a wake. No more details in that one. So I left the gym and drove as fast as I could only to end up in traffic. Where drew into my conclusions that I hate people cutting on someone’s lane. They usually try to find which lane is the fastest so from the innermost lane to the outermost they pick on which is the fastest only to make the others suffer of what they do because we follow the rules. I switched lane as early as possible but to the extent that many were doing it I got angry that I just really want to crash the “stupid driver(s” [sorry for such a word] can’t describe it in a much more angelic sort of way. And I was like, hey that one is stupid and the other one is stupid. I can’t believe educated people are doing such acts.
So after leaving traffic, about 40 seconds to 1 minute had passed. I decided to drive on the more “less” driven road. I passed by at a village in which I was stuck again for about 5 minutes with the engine turned on because this another guy was waiting for someone in the middle of the road! The road can’t be passed because it was being blocked by two parked cars.
So there my anger bursted out and I was like pressing my horn many times and still this guy was unable to respond. He wasn’t having a breakdown since he wasn’t using his hazard or cared to inform us motorists. After running out of my patience, again, I actually opened the door and yelled at the driver for about 5 times saying;
“Hoy! Wag kang gago, di ito parking area! Wag mo iharang ang kotse mo sa gitna ng daan. Umalis ka na dyan”
Which is in English translation “You fool, don’t be stupid… this is not a parking area. Don’t block your car in the middle of the road. Move your car now!”
I was so angry. To the extent that the neighbors living on this street went out to ask what was happening. So these people tried asking the driver to move the car since there is an available parking area if he just move his car a little bit. Surprisingly, he had his reasons despite many motorists about 5 are behind him.
I could feel my pulse that time and I couldn’t act like a christian sort of way.
But despite of all this, I did feel bad after that incidence. And I am really really serious to not act in that manner ever again.
The gym staff even commented after hearing my story. He said, it’s life here in the Philippines.
