Lesson Today

Lesson learned today is to not drop my own standards down to where those road bullies are.


Here's what happened today: I was driving along Jalan Ampang and as usual, it was jammed at a certain section. So made sure I was on the correct lane, which I would turn left further down the road. I didn't stop on the yellow boxes so cars from the other direction could cross, I kept my safety distance from the car in front of me and minded my own business throughout the time I was stuck in the jam. Then.... I saw this HUGE vehicle who made an illegal turn and worse still fought to come into my lane after a freaking long wait! I couldnt take it. In my mind, I was thinking "what the heck! Just because you drive a SUPER HUGE CAR that does not give you any reason do break the traffic law and worse still cut into my lane when there was clearly very little room between my car and the car in front. For that split few seconds, MY RAGE HEIGHTEN! I just couldn't take it being bullied like that... So i fought! I refused to let him cut into my lane... i won...


Even though i 'won' I wasn't happy.. Worse still... I felt awful.. I just got out of church and i didn't even have the decency to let a car go. SHAME ON YOU SHANNON!

But if i don't fight.. road bullies are going to think smaller vehicle drivers are good bully targets.. By not fighting, am i not consenting to that IMMORAL act?

I tried justifying my act by saying he illegally turned and wanted to cut que while tens of cars were PATIENTLY lining up. I hate owners and drivers of HUGE vehicles who think they are the king of the road and that other small vehicle should be afraid of them!! If you want to cut que.. see la if the car wants to let u go... just because u are big it doesn't give u the right to squash smaller cars! It didn't work.


Anyway, I still feel bad for letting a few moments of rage take over the sensible and rational side of me.. Honestly, I regretted.. What is the point of fighting such bullies? should have just let them go.. at least I get to teach them proper manners by setting a good example..


p.s. on a very random note, I actually was thinking of writing up a few boards and leave them in the car.. Boards that write: "NEXT TIME, PLEASE LEARN TO QUE!" or "STOP BEING A ROAD BULLY". lol.
