Brainless people
Oh my..
What is happening to courteous Malaysian? When it comes to driving, I bet you, some Malaysians are so far from being courteous. This morning, I had to hold my breath from not swearing to rude drivers who mostly were in big, expensive cars. No offense, ya. These drivers, to me, seemed like they are acting as if they deserve to drive on the road in any way they want just because they have bigger, better car than my toddler Kelisa. I hope they’ll learn to be more courteous and make use of their brain. Big cars, small brains..aaahh.. it’s like Ken driving Barbie’s pink car.
I was sick yesterday! Down with the flu..Runny nose, aching body which later have me tossing and turning during the night. Today is a lot better, but when I read an sms from an individual “Kete awak jenis ape?” which was sent at around 11.30ish pm to Muq’s phone, I forgot that I was sick and I can feel rage seeping in.
So the story goes like this. It was Saturday morning and we (Muq, Alan & me) were all set up to Beraya. We planned to go to Kepong first, and then proceed to Klang. So there we were in the car, listening and singing along to Jason Mraz songs when suddenly I heard a loud thud. My first thought was the car hit something. As a reflex, I turned to look behind, as the car was moving. I didn’t see anything on the road, but I did see a small black U shape thing bouncing off the road and stopped dead along the middle lane.
Muq was slowing down the car, while my brother rolled down the window and waving at a motorcyclist. And then, I saw it. On the far corner of the windshield, there was a crack. We managed to stop the motorcyclist and I listened to the “heroes” of my life discussing the matter with the motorcyclist, who turned out to have a cleft (but was repaired). Somehow, when he talked, ’sengau’. They managed to exchange business cards and the man was willing to pay for the damage his bike’s lock had done to our car. I later learned that the lock fell out of his bike and bounced on the road, which then hit our windshield. It was one hell of a bounce to leave a big crack on the glass! So, having it done, we resumed our so-called Raya..
The same evening, Muq called the numbers given by the man. It was answered by his wife. As a result of the phone conversation, they settled with RM200 payment (Well, I was thinking that it will not even support half of the cost!). Muq even agreed to let them pay installments. Well, from our encounter with her husband, we think that they might have difficulties paying for the whole repair.
So, yesterday, while we were having our dinner over the Amazing Race Asia, Muq received an sms. I read it & was taken a back with the sentences “semalam saya msg awak, kenapa awak tak jawab.” In my head, I was thinking “who the hell is this?”. So, Muq was telling me that he don’t know who it was, and he replied asking who it was. The answer was “tak kan tak kenal..” Hahhaha… I was starting to get irritated by this! And then she said she was S (I don’t even know why I bother to keep the confidentiality of the person). Oh, I had a friend called by that name, but I know it’s not her number. Muq (after quite a while) then remembered that she is the wife of the motorcyclist. She was asking him about the windshield. She told him that she had a friend who can repair it for only RM200. What pissed me off is that she kept asking, where are we going to send it to repair, how much will it cost, do we know the person doing it. Irritated, muq called her and explained that it’s his friend’s shop and that RM200 glass is not a good one. He explained that ours is a two-layered glass and tinted. The lady was really a pain in the ***! She even dare to ask “Sape cakap?” when Muq told her that a RM200 glass is not as good as the 2-layered one. When he said, it’s our car, and we know it better. She answered with “Bukan awak sorang je ada kete cik ooooi”. At that moment, I was so angry that I wanted to talk to her, but Muq cooled me off, saying that if we act like that, she might not pay. Ya Allah, how stupid can a person be??? It was the husband’s fault for being careless with the lock that it bounced of his bike, so it is only fair for them to pay for the damage lah. We are being kind enough for not asking for a full payment, because we know how it feels to have little money in hands and then something unpredictable like this happens. But here is one ungrateful lady being a pain in the ***! Even after the explanation, she even send another sms (the one that I read this morning)!!! Can she not understand what Muq had explained to her?
Maybe, just maybe. She wants to really help us. As in looking for the cheapest way to repair the damage. But her insistance of doing it makes us sick. Make me VERY SICK. Can she not understand that when you broke someone’s thing, you have to pay for what it cost? Dahla she kept insisting to meet Muq. They live in Batu Caves area, ok. Nak suruh bayar RM200 pun da susah, lagi nak jumpa, which would involve money for gas & toll! What next? Will she be asking us to GO THERE to meet her? Oh God, please shower her with a brain that can actually understand the situation here. Please.. in future, not let me deal with these kind of people..
The thing is, I have no problem with dealing with difficult people. But this lady is testing my patience, with the stupid questions and all. Please if there is such thing as a good 2-layered windshield for Kelisa which cost only RM 200, please tell me. I had the glass for the back windscreen replaced for RM300. Of course the front one cost more than that. And the fact that she kept pestering my husband with silly questions really tick me off, man.. I am OK with her having difficulties to pay, maybe or that she has little understanding of things. But, her irritating behavior is really a no-no. She is acting like she knows everything about replacing a windscreen when her facts are even not true.
These brainless people..
