Things I Will Never Get Used To (and don't see why anyone should HAVE to))

There is a full-on rant in this entry. I have just woken up (you will see why) and, not for the first time, I am PISSED OFF.

Okay, I realise the Chinese don't have a proper concept of the weekend like we do, and that Saturday isn't a day off anything very much for most people, and that 0915 is not particularly early for a lot of them, and that it's my fault for going to bed late if I'm annoyed at being woken up now, but here it is:

WHEN SOMEONE IS LATE TO MEET YOU IN YOUR CAR, DO NOT SIT OUTSIDE SEVERAL BLOCKS OF FLATS AND JUST BEEP YOUR HORN LOUD AND LONG AND INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL MINUTES (often more than ten) YOU DUMB SONOFABITCH.

AND YOU, THE LATE PERSON, GET OUT OF BED, GET DOWNSTAIRS, AND GET TO THAT CAR AS FAST AS YOU DAMN WELL CAN, YOU INCONSIDERATE, SLOW, LAZY ARSEWIPES.



This happens several times a week and it is not only annoying as hell (because it invariably wakes me, yes even me the one who can sleep for Great Britain, from my slumber) but is the mark of an incredibly backward society. Car horns are for alerting drivers to danger; they are not there to express annoyance when stuck in traffic jams (every country has these morons though), and they are certainly not there to get your friend out of bed when he's late in the morning.

One time when someone was doing that in the dead of night I opened my window and shouted, louder than I had ever in my life, "Shut the fuck up." In English. It actually worked.

well im glad someone finds this amusing. the bastard is at it AGAIN right now, as i type. it's a bit later in the day but for heaven's sake get out of your fucking car and ring the bell of whoever it is you are waiting for, you retard.

and vincent, i would, but my bed is nice and warm and it's about -15C outside (if not colder) so just going to the window or going out to find the culprit would take a lot of effort in itself.
