There is a problem with parking space at my work place. The lack of it..what with cars being so affordable now, even a peon can afford to drive one. As opposed to 10 years ago when i first started working, i could only afford a kancil, and even that was courtesy of FAMA..i only had to pay its monthly loan, all of RM315 and that was already a quarter of my salary. Anyway, since the beginning of ramadhan, if i were to leave the house at 7am, i would surely reach my workplace nearly two hours later..agaknya org bangun sahur and terus drive pergi kerja ...therefore bagi org yg tak bangun sahur cam i, i then decided to leave the house only at 8am and i would only be spending 50mins on the road tops. But then, parking would be a problem..nevertheless, being the tyco that i am, i just wedged my car in petak kuning, as long as i'm not blocking the traffic. Since i have too much time on my hands (i think) i started to notice this Wira...the owner must have arrived pretty early every morning because the car is always perched at one of the spots where you will not be able to park there unless you are among the first to arrive. But for the life of me what i couldn't understand was why it was always occuping 1.5 of a parking space. For two weeks in a row! This thus led the car parked next to it kena masuk sikit parking yg sebelah lagi and seterusnya until there is one empty parking space yg tak muat nak masuk sebiji kereta unless you're driving a Smart car. Well, yesterday, i couldn't stand it anymore. As someone who strive to be a model citizen or someone who's getting crankier as age increases, i spent all of 5 mins writing a note telling this person how his/her (call me a traitor to my own gender, i think it's a her) action yg suka parking masuk org punya box sedepa is causing grief to other people. Then i looked out kalu ada sesapa yg observe apa i tengah buat and i put the note under her wiper. Pueh hati!! today tak pulak nampak kereta tu, agaknya its gone into hiding.
I finally told the Baung on Tuesday, 'shaddap la! You moan too much!It's so unbecoming of a man to moan, moan and moan! How your wife can stand it aku pun tak tau la!'
Si Baung, ' Really ke? I moan a lot ke?'
Lagi boleh tanya ka??
I told off a group of students also that perangai diaorg macam pe-rak (not pey-rak) in not so many words. You know how people like to push in before you even get the chance to get off the lift at your floor? Macam hooligans! So, i asked, you all tau tak etika naik lift macamana? Then i gave them a humph! and stomped off.
Dulu2 i often wonder why one of my senior colleagues selalu macam tebuan..sikit nak tegur, sikit nak marah..ada je tak kena kat mata dia..
Well, now i realise that i am turning into HER...
Don't let me catch you drag a chair across the floor or not putting used envelopes, bills, etc. into the recycling bin. And yes, to find mineral water bottles dumped into the dustbin, will spoil the rest of my day.
