Let me just scream this for emphasis: I HATE, ABSOLUTELY HATE, ABHOR, DETEST WITH A PASSION BORDERING ON THE FANATICAL, IDIOTS WHO FEEL SUCH SELF ENTITLEMENT IN THE STREETS OF MANILA THAT THEY CONSTANTLY BLARE THEIR STUPID SIRENS ANY CHANCE THEY GET! This includes low level government officials who, after being voted into some two-bit office, now think that they should be above traffic jams the rest of us ordinary joes suffer through. This also includes garden variety morons who buy sirens off the peddlers of Banawe Street (where most stolen car goods end up, as everyone here knows) and blare them just to make people think they're SOMEBODY IMPORTANT that we have to get out of their way. Like RIGHT NOW. And it doesn't matter if you're all stuck in a traffic jam. It's an automatic reflex on my part—the minute I hear a wang-wang (our local term for sirens) and find that it's not an ambulance, a firetruck or a police car, I grit my teeth, pop out my contrarian devil horns, and start slowing down on purpose. Moreover, it's a direct violation of a Presidential Decree (No. 96, in case any of my fellow countrymen would want to throw it out) for anybody not a member of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, National Bureau of Investigation, Land Transportation Office, Police Departments, Fire Departments and hospital ambulances to use a siren or a blinker, so these douchebags are really asking for it. So it transpired last week as I was sitting in my car listening to a favorite song (Thursday by Asobi Seksu, in case you're asking), in a buoyant mood while patiently waiting for the light to turn green in a two lane street, that I heard that hateful sound again. This time it was a private SUV that kept blaring its siren (oh, like we're supposed to get out of your way just because you're driving a Ford Expedition, huh?), collectively pissing all of us ordinary wang-wangless hoi polloi off. And it was like a collective Borg thing—we the people all took our own sweet time moving forward when the light turned green. The impatient twit in the SUV tried to counterflow, overtaking vehicles on his right by using the opposite lane. Predictably, the dumbass ran right smack on to the oncoming traffic. Nobody, but NOBODY, in the right lane (where I was) was giving him any leeway to merge into it. The turd had no choice but to skulk onto the shoulder on the opposite lane while getting honked and yelled at by oncoming cars, and wait for everyone else to get through. Karma and comeuppance. Such wonderful things to see unfold right before your very eyes. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion. |

You bet!I'm also irritated by these morons on the streets. Stopping the traffic just because a Nerd ( a politician or govt officer with his convoy of body guards, minimum of five cars as convoy, ughh!)with the hirritating loud noise of the sirens would like to get pass all other vehicles! as if they are into something of extreme emergency! For all we know, their mistress is just waiting or they are just late for their casino games!

lol.. yes I can almost visably see your frustration coming across from the words on the screen... and it makes me go... hahahahahahahaahhahahaha sorry can't help it. traffic pet peeves here are more in the nature of irritation at the people who feel that because they own a car and can reach their foot down to the pedal, they should be entitled to drive in any lane, at any speed they want. This is the lil old grannies who when you are driving behind them, you swear there was no one in the car at all, to the speed freaks who honk their horns and flash their lights at you if you happen to be in their way. The former are frustrating simply because quite often they go below the speed limit and they are in the fast lane as well which usually jams up an otherwise free flowing highway. The latter are of course a danger to the road, feeling that their hopped up SUV or their little Honda with a souped resonator are a racecar, and you are of course, in the way of them winning a race that unfortunately is only in their own minds... ok, vents down.. oh right, not to mention those who have no conceivable idea  of what a right and left turn signal are forlol, but.. hahahahahahha, don't sweat the small stuff sugah  (that comment was directed to the both of us )between the stars, beyond the planet mars, there Sens will be

You'd freak if you drove here--stupid jeepneys and buses and tricycles and pedicabs just stop in the middle of the road to load and unload. I am gonna be driving till I'm 90, I tell you. And I'll be so short by then I'll be one of those who makes a car look like there isn't anybody driving it.  I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I had one of my favorite songs but I still heard the dang wang-wang, Jen. I love driving. I LOVE driving fast. I think I'll sign up for one of those race car courses next year as a birthday gift to myself. When I drove a car for the first time I hit 60..The owner of the car told me to slow down..I told him no if I do we will stop and that's no good..He said SLOOOOOOOOW DOWN!..I did and the car stopped and there was a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng line of cars waiting behind us..It was on the small Island of St. Maaten,in the Caribbeans where they have only to main roads..(back street an front street) We stopped on the back street when at a time,all was heading home for that eve..I could not start the car..  Well should you take up that course,I know you will master it for it has been proven that woman are better drivers then men.. It is the truth in man that sets him free..

hehehehe darn them DANG WANG-WANG..hey you wanna know what,when I first started biking it was fast..I could not imagine starting slow just in case I fall on them Ion rims..You know! When I drove a car for the first time I hit 60..The owner of the car told me to slow down..I told him no if I do we will stop and that's no good..He said SLOOOOOOOOW DOWN!..I did and the car stopped and there was a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng line of cars waiting behind us..It was on the small Island of St. Maaten,in the Caribbeans where they have only to main roads..(back street an front street) We stopped on the back street when at a time,all was heading home for that eve..I could not start the car.. Well should you take up that course,I know you will master it for it has been proven that woman are better drivers then men.. Oh my, THAT cracked me up, Jen. I remember my first driving lessons when I was 18---the driving instructor kept hooking his foot under my gas pedal to keep me from slamming down at it while keeping a grip on the hand brake, constantly muttering, "Slow down, slow DOWN!!!" I've always been told by men I drive like a man, which, I guess, is the highest compliment, LOL! P.S. I've done impromptu street drag races whenever I find myself alone, driving my black car (for some reason that car is always the one figuring in races), and the car beside me starts revving up, a clear challenge to race. I've won quite a few, too, heehee. Not bad for an old hen like me. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Did you actually look through that binocular scope in the background? If so, did hubby give you a milk carton to stand on Munchie? Sorry my Mandy recording has been stolen and presumably destroyed by someone, so all I had left of Plasti-man's music was Copa Cabana

I can well relate to this. The traffic here is even worse. They not only blare sires everywhere, jump into the lanes at the least possible sides, but can even totally neglect the red traffic lights at all. Sometimes they even drive in lanes that are intended for motorscooters and bicycles. And then you will also find cyclists or scooter riders ride on lanes intended for cars and buses. Some drive cars with the consciousness as if they were still riding bikes, while some ride bicycles and motorscooters with the consciousness as if they were driving buses already. What a mess!

Oh I don't blame you at all Ana! Just like everything else in life, egotistic or narcissistic people will as well most likely be selfish reckless drivers…. Frankly I’m an aggressive driver myself but I strictly follow the traffic rules. It’s quite unfair having to tolerate their irresponsibility on the road and I don’t intend to yield to those attitudes. Luckily I live in downtown area that I can use sky-trains or walk where I can and avoid driving altogether (although having to struggle/cope with smelly taxis instead!!).  ♥ Da gurl next door
