Lifetime - Mos Def

Today I went to gym after work. Just like any other day, I circled around True Fitness a couple of times until I spot that perfect parking. It was right in front of a new karaoke bar. I don’t remember the name. So anyway…

I was walking back to my car when I notice a grey Proton Waja blocking my car. “I hope I’m not gonna be stuck long” I said to myself. The driver didn’t leave a note or a number. Typical! I tried honking my car a couple of times and there was no responds. I guess I have to walk in all the bars to find the owner then. Shit!

I went to all the bars, a korean restaurant and the spa centre and asked the same question and got the same answer, “No one driving that car sir”.

Which fucking idiot would double park and not leave a note. I started feeling agitated. The bartender from across the street came and ask me what’s up? I told him about the situation and he asked me to try the restaurant down the street. I said why not and walked in, talked to the staff and walk out and waited outside. Suddenly an indian lady came out. I asked her if it was her car and she said yes.

She just answered to me as if nothing was wrong. She didn’t say sorry. She didn’t even smile! All she did was walked to her car, reversed and blocked another incoming car and left me with a small space to reverse my car. So she can take my parking spot! WTF B? That is so uncool!

I’m fine with people double parking. I do it too. But do it right. Leave a note. A namecard at least. It’s about being courteous. And if you know you’re blocking someones car, please be aware of the surroundings. And please say sorry because I had to search high and low for you because you blocked my car!

I wanted to say something to her but I felt it’s best that I walk away. Nonetheless, I get to bitch about you!

FYI, I leave sticky notepads in my car in case I need to double park. Everybody is in a hurry and everybody double park. But don’t be selfish. If everybody were to have the same attitude, we could all live in harmony.

Really…

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus… an old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

Think before you continue reading.

How does one do the wrong thing the right way? Wait a minute. The wrong this is a WRONG thing to do. lol No, I’m not talking about the wrong thing being a bad thing. Not to us. But to our company. Maybe not you. But yours truly.

Everyone works to get money but how much more can you earn if you work hard at the office? But since you’re a designer, you have the option to do freelance work. But! I have a feeling employers don’t like the idea of us freelancing. Would you? As a boss.

Hence the doing the wrong thing would result to a bad thing such as you being dismissed from the company or maybe not that bad. But the point is, this is rather hazardous for it may interfere with our daily routine.
