Week ENDS!
Bloody Hell..! What a start to my weekend, I left office all happy happy joy joy..thinking...Yaay, today is the weekend, and I shall go and have a good time with my girlfriends, especially since I spent all week staying depressed and snappy because of my bloody PMS!!!(I swear to God i could kill somebody during those days!!!)
So, I happily leave work, putting on the radio and singing along with the song on it..and driving at a normal speed of 60km/h ...and this stupid car in front of me just breaks.. like from no where, so i break too.. but obviously my car would take some time to stop at the right time..and i knew i was going to hit him by then.. but if I did, I would hit him head on and cause my car more damage so I took a right turn hoping that my car could've been saved.. but no...!!! My left bumper in the front hit his right bumper in the back of his car...
"Great!"..I thought..!Thats all I need..So this guy who's car I hit get's out and says "Now what?"
And I was just trying to get out and my stupid door wasn't opening.. It was jammed, because my bumper got hit real bad and pushed itself towards the inside, hence jamming my door...so I lower my window and tell the guy.."My door seems to be jammed..!!""..and that idiot tells me.."So...??"
I just gave him a look and struggled my way out from the passenger seat's door. I look at my car...damn..quite a bit of damage..his car...well..frankly,i didn't care...okay okay..a bump and the back light broken..but still.. my car was more damaged!
Then began the conversation:(NOTE:Pronounce the words "he"says just like the way they have been spelt!!!)
He:So,zoo you wantz thoo sign zee Inzurance paperz?
Me:What insurance papers?
He:Wellz, I zon't want to be rudez but can ve hurry ze up coz I havez an urgenté meeting
Me:Listen...whoever you are..?? Are you new here???
He: Wellz New?...oui..1 year zonly..I am from ze paris...originally indian..but borns and brought up in paris..so I'm french...
Me:Okay mr french...
He: ze no no...I am aiyaz..from francé
Me:Listen, whereever you are from, we have to call the cops in case of the slightest of the accident here....the cops will come see who's fault it is and accordingly give us the papers which we have to present to our insurance companies.Okay... !
He:But itz not my faultz..
Me:Let the cops come..
So the cops came an hour later!! And he was eating my head till then.. Can you guys believe his audacity..he tells me ,"I wish you would have found someone else to hit..coz i'm really late for this meeting..!!"
Wanted to tell him, "You SHMUCK! Why would I want to hit anybody in the first place and damage my precious car over some loser like you.." But I just limited it to a cold stare.. and chose to ignore him...
Right then..spent my weekend at home as I was without a car. To add to my misery they have this stupid new rule that if the person hits the car in front of him/her they will have to pay a fine of AED200 (USD54, INR 2440,GBP33)..
So i have to pay a fine for no bloody fault of mine..hey that rhymes.. :) (okay sorry, I'm trying to find some humour in this whole incident)
PS: I don't know how far is this true..but on the day of my accident..my right eye had been twiching since morning (which means something bad is going to happen)..I chose to ignore it and belive these things don't make sense..but after the accident took place, my eye stopped twiching and I can't help but think about it..
Sigh!Some happening weekend!
