Some lady drivers are totally ungracious! They’re the culprits who give female drivers the bad rep! Seriously, do they think the world revolves around them or what?
So the day after my bang, naturally I was still recovering from whatever “aftershocks” I had. I drove more carefully, and exercised more caution especially when I had to park the car.
At this regular carpark I visit for my weekly marketing trip, I spotted a lot and ventured to reverse park. I was a tad slower than usual because I wanted to ensure that my car wouldn’t bump into the two cars beside the slot. As my car started to enter rear in first, I heard a honk. Because I was concentrating so much on my parking, I had a shock. I wasn’t sure who honked but I was sure it was at me. Anyway, I continued and as I was completing my parking, I realised it was a lady driver on my right who had honked at me because she was impatient to get out.
I stopped whatever I was doing and gave her a good glare. No eye contact though since I was in my sunnies. The woman started gesturing with her hands, seemingly to ask me “what”? I didn’t want to pick a quarrel but I wasn’t happy that she had to honk at me just because I was a couple of seconds slower. I mean, I reversed park in just one attempt, only slower! So I mouthed these words to her: “What the fuck did you have to honk at me for?”
She was still gesturing madly in her car while I leisurely switched off my engine and then prepared to get off. In the meantime, she drove out of her lot but she stopped her car at a distance. I got out, took a look at her small car and then walked off. No, she didn’t come chasing after me. Good for her.
If she did, I knew exactly what to say to her to make her face red with anger.
It’s ridiculous. Some people have no freakin’ patience. Where do you think you’re going to speed off to with an extra 5 seconds?!? When people honk at me, I go slower to piss them off even more. ^___^

Heh heh Im really curious to know what you will say to make people like her, face red with anger. It may come useful to me one day. Ha
My hubby has many complaints too. He hates driver road hogged, step brake unnecessary, eat into his lane w/o signal, parked on 1 lot but make the lot beside unparkable, unfriendly diver who didnt give way when he signal to filter in, impolite driver who didnt waved thks when he gives way.. but hated most, being honk!
Because he drove a Honda! No other driver can honk him! Only he honk ppl.
Lame rite?!! kekeke

I went out with some girlfriends once, and the designated driver drove a Toyota Pinic like it was a Lambo. Wah lau… after we reached our dinner destination, I lost all my appetite. And yes, she drives her kids to school like that too.
