Strange people – Mr. Obnoxious
There are some people who are just plain strange.
This is a story about Mr. Obnoxious, an aging man, with a wife an young children driving a cultus, who i happened to meet a couple of days back. This guy double parked his car effectively blocking three of us who were parked there, and goes off the department store. We assumed he must’ve gone for something quick… oh how wrong we were. After 10 minutes of shopping, during which us three cars and drivers were thinking how to get out this pridicament, he comes out, drops something in his car, and goes back inside!!
At this point, one of the guys start blowing his horn to his attention. Here’s where it gets really interesting…….
Mr. Obnoxious hears the sound, and comes around to his car… sees who’s blowing the horn, and instead of backing up his double parked car, he proceeds to go upto the other guy and starts shouting at him!
Mr. O: Why are you blowing your horn! I’ll move my car when im ready to go!!
Driver: Your double parked, move it a little so i can get out. You can stay here all you want.. just let me leave.
Mr. O: Why should i let you leave?! You stay till i stay here! Im not moving my car! Thats final!
Driver: *look of incredulity on his face* what???!!
Mr. O: You heard me!! *starts shouting* i wont move my car! What are you gonna do? hit me??
Driver: Look, i dont wanna fight with you, i dont pick fights with aged men, just move the car and get over with it.
Mr. O: What do you mean aged! I’ve dyed me hair white! Im 35! Now will you hit me?!! who do you think you are???!
All this time, i was sitting in my car looking at the fiasco, and decide to jump in. I get out and ask him to please move his car! Then he starts unloading on me as well! I turn around and start talkin to the other driver, while he fumes and shouts in the background!
All this time, Mr. Obnoxious children have started crying and his wife has emerged from the car as well and starts shouting at US for being….. and get this…. RUDE!!!!
Finally, the other driver had had it, and starts showing a little anger.. Mr. Obnoxious jumps in his car, and backs it up and parks a little further down the lane. We get back and start our respective cars, just as he parked and comes back out to shout some more… We decide to leave and not make an issue.
All this time.. i was “What the…….”!!! When will people learn!?!
*grinning* Quite an interesting story.:-)
*grinning* Quite an interesting story.:-)
Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode :-)
Any how I believe most problems start when you start making people feeling bad. So better approach is “I understand that you would not take too much time and it’s very inconvenient for you to move your car but would you please move so that I could reach my destination at time and”. I am sure 99% of people would react positively if you say them this but then some one told me “Ignore every thing before but” :-) if you want to be a successful.
That was jokes!! :D
classic karachi!
“When will people learn!?!”
Apparently he *has* learnt something over years and following it ie…to hell with everone else.
kind of same happened to me once when a guy parked his car middle of the road and block the road.What i did i flat the tyre :).This is how these people can learn lesson.
If I was in my old FX, I would have just reversed into his car — that would’ve taught him a lesson an another dent on my old FX won’t make any difference to me :)
The episode was “The Dinner Party”, episodes number 77. I am the biggest Seinfeld freak in Karachi, (So I say so).
Giddy Up (Y)
@Shiraz – No, I am the biggest Seinfeld freak in karachi….!!
Thank you
Well… Although i don’t recommend this but i think that under the circumstances i might have kept my distance from him, just so that people could swear that i didnt touch him, and then i’d have shouted at him with the biggest badest meanest thundering roar that i could muster… Hoping that he’d drop dead out of fear :) . . . And believe me i’ve matured enough not to raise arms unless in self-Defence, an earlier version of myself might have seen him off with shattered wind screens and a fractured nose.
hahahaha :D
When irrationality meets ignorance …
@illusionFS
:) irrationality meets ignorance? :) . . . I learn that lesson from current affairs man. ‘shock and awe’ is the name of the game;)
Lol! its like when somebody rear-ends you, then gets out of the car and starts shouting at you and placing blame on you so they can get away with not having to pay any damages.
Our country is full of lunatics.
cool! we have other sienfeld fans out there too! lolzz!
Seinfeld WTW!!!
seinfeld,just shoot me and married to the kellys…..
i hate ppl like that. u should have just rear ended his car and taught him a lesson. maybe u should take a page for lois “malcolm in the middle” who goes into a rage and destroys the other lady’s car.
mansoor, is it just me or are you a magnet for the city’s assholes? :)
@ Cy, we must protest to the ladies of his house who make him wait in the car at such notorious places…..
Wow, I dont believe it.
MQM ka to nahi tha? Warna laganay thay do haath!
And, here I was thinking that I am the biggest Seinfeld fan in this part of the world.
cy: lolz! im thnking maybe i am :( anyways :p its always fun.. since i get to report it :D
wasiq: actually.. i went there on my own :p was feeling very hungry and went to get a sandwich. Thankfully, no ladies in this house *yet*
I pity u my friend as this has happened to all of us some time or the other… oh n yeah u know what ppl will never learn… This country we live n its no less than any other country in the world but… the ppl who live here make all the difference… so lets see may be 50yrs down the line they might decide to change… our elders thought the same thing that maybe when our kids grow up they might have a better future currently 26 not born here moved 10 yrs ago i was like nah its not such a bad place but Ive actually decided that if i move never coming back coz i don’t share the same optimism as my elders did…
@Haseeb
Not even close, mate:)
If I were in your place, I would have f*cked him right away. Why would you take this bul*shit from anyone?? WHY???
LOL.. Poor u guys.
hats off to mr. obnoxious :D :p
The kids round here look just like sticks
They trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove
Gothic girls all dressed in black
Serious as heart attacks
Takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whisky stains
Lost the night, forgot his name
His poor wife will sleep alone again
And it ain’t hard to understand
Why she’s holding onto her own hand
It’s midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one’s asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one’s looking for a savior
They’re too busy … saving me (shalalala, shalala)
I’ve seen a lone sloane ranger drive
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
And sold her secrets to the Sun
And later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
Chase their shadows in the dark
Someone’s getting off tonight
A big red bus that’s packed so tight disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone’s dreaming baby it’s alright….
It’s midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one’s asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one’s looking for a savior
They’re too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one’s pinned their dreams on me
No one’s asking me to bleed
I’m the man I wanna be
When Chelsea girls sing
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh, oh …
It’s morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming on
A baby’s born, an old man dies
Somewhere young lovers kiss good bye
I leave my soul and just move on
And wish that I was there to sing this song
[Guitar solo]
(shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
It’s midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Oh, midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one’s asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one’s looking for a savior
They’re too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala)
It’s midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) woh (shalalala, shalala) yeah
No one’s pinned their dreams on me
No one’s asking me to bleed
I’m the man I wanna be
The man I wanna be, the man I wanna be (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala…)
Midnight In Chelsea Lyrics
by John Bon Jovi
thats too funny mansoor. but then its only funny when happening to someone else. If it happened to me, I’d have gotten inside his car and driven it off a little way [:)] with wife and kids screaming or whatever.
Where are the robbers, car snatchers and muggers of Karachi when you really need one. Mr. O would have been nicely dealt with. I wish he would have asked them “Will you hit me?”
well i guess that you can find all sorts of demented ppl on the streets, something similar happened a couple of months ago on a main artery of khi…It was raining and I was out with a homie of mine chillin when all of a sudden I see this middle aged man and a very old driver arguing in the middle of the road with their cars blocking traffic..we paused to see what was going on and then this middle aged man starts beating the crap out of the chacha jee…seeing this we couldnt ignore it and thus got out to control the issue when suddenly the middle aged man slaps my friend!! just for trying to bring calm to the situation..I guess enough was enough and this is when my friend gave him the beating of his life threw him in his car and he scampered off like a yelping dog…
I guess some ppl learn the hard way!
anna: good going for your friend. some ppl just understand force.. thats all.
