Amused And Confused

Am amused and confused in the rollercoaster of life with high anticipation that the amusement would outbalance confusion. Do please sit back, be amused and entertained but be you not confused.

Do please park considerately!

How inconsiderate people can be sometimes.

Yesterday after returning from the university, we found there wasn't a single available space to park our humble car. There was a tiny red car parked inconsiderately in a large space that seemed to my eyes, ample for accomodating two cars (the distances of the cars at the left and right of the tiny car are a distant away but the spaces were too tiny to squeeze any car in). It seemed deliberately notioned. DH was angry enough to swear. I, being the optimist of us, calmed him down and thought positively.

The tiny red car might have been parked much earlier than the rest along the row.
And so I thought. You can't really blame the person for parking clumsily where there were no lines, can you? People simply park their car at their very best, considerately of course. But, in the real world, when the existence of good people are complemented by the bad, considerate people are complemented by those inconsiderate ones. *sigh*

We had to eventually park our car on the grass, next to Devon block. Later, I sat by the window and looked out for a breather. Suddenly, saw a Volvo estate drove in. Out went a blonde, then the Volvo continued to drive out of view. The blonde who was clad in a nurse's attire, hurriedly entered the red 'inconsiderate' Fiat and started the engine and reversed.

*you fool, next time if you are the first to park and amatuerish at parking a miserable tiny car, make sure it is the sidemost space, save others from misery!*

She seemed to be hurrying elsewhere. I was about to tell DH that we could remove our car and parked at the soon available space that the Fiat had taken, when she suddenly parked the Fiat back. This time, she had properly parked the car nicely, leaving an ample parking space next to it. I was numbed with what I saw immediately. The Volvo estate returned and nicely parked the car next to the red Fiat. A pan-Asian male doctor in blue scrubs stepped out of the estate car and walked hand-in-hand with the blonde nurse into their block. I felt sick. I don't know why. It was maybe I have always highly regard doctors for having good simple manners but when I find how schemingly selfish this doctor was, I was angry.

It dawned on me that the doctor and nurse are a couple, and DH was right. The Fiat was indeed heinously parked to deliberately and selfishly 'save' them the spaces they wanted for their cars. arrghhh...

I reported what I had seen to Z and DH.

"Lain kali kita himpit kereta dia" said Z.

"Apa pulak himpit, kita tulis note "Inconsiderate Fool" aje kat wiper dia" DH suggested.

"Tak apalah. Next time aku jumpa dia, aku cakap face to face" said a calmer Z.

Oh boy, what a day!

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
