What is up with the number of rich, stylish women I’ve seen shouting in the streets after being rear-ended?
I get it, I really do. It’s frustrating and annoying as hell when it happens. But you know what? You’re driving a car that costs what some Egyptians don’t even dream of one day having. You’re not the one who’s going to take it to be fixed, and probably not the one who’s going to be paying for it. The guy who hit you didn’t do it on purpose, probably doesn’t even have enough money to fix his own bump, and envies the hell out of you. You live in a country with no insurance, and where rear-ending is as natural as breathing. And just because you’re rich and pretty and live in a country where the rich are never in the wrong, doesn’t give you the right to treat everyone else like dirt. It’s snobby, bitchy and not at all classy.
When it happens, just sigh, let out an expletive (in your car), at the most give him (or her, though it’s usually a guy) a dirty look, and drive on. What purpose does stopping the street, getting out of your car and having everyone gawk at you serve? And then getting mad if the guy so much as dares answer you back? Threatening to call so-and-so and telling him “do you know who I am?”
The video below, which made the rounds last year, disgusts me. In it, the woman gets out, holding an (illegal) taser, insults the guys with some horrendous swear words, and calls her dad, who’s a high-ranking lieutenant , telling him to send her an officer right away.
just watched the video. dont know what she is saying but it is obvious that she carries a certain amount of arrogance. arrogance is right up there at tied first place with fakeness as the thing i hate most in a person.
if i was that guy i wouldve smacked her in the face for carrying that taser around. she looks like a real bitch too… and not in the western sense of the word.
it looks to me from the video that she’s the one that rear ended him….her car is behind his isn’t it? lol which makes it even worse!
Yikes. Bitchy and Class-less.
hmmm.. can’t see the vid (please reply with link, should be interesting to watch) but from the description alone: i defo think she should follow the guidelines you set out, and say alhamdulillah it wasn’t worse than that.
Rich people have the tendency to think that they have class…just because they’re seen draped in expensive clothes and driving expensive cars. Pity them for thinking highly of themselves..they just lack character and finesse.
And it turned out that the girl’s father isn’t a lieutenant! she was just showing off and trying to threaten the guy.
She only lives with her mother in Alex.
That doesn’t deny the facts that you stated in the post.
Wow, subhnallah. That’s pretty disgusting and not just beacuse of what she’s saying.Look at how she looks parading about fee shar3ah.I mean come on honey, it was an accident. If there’s no insurance what exactly are you hoping to accomplish?
Let us also point out the part where her car is the one BEHIND his. Doesn’t rear ending require you to be behind a person?
well i didn’t watch the video but i am adamantly opposed to expecting less of people just because they happen to not have your privileges – that is the classism of lowered expectations. just because your car is nice you give up your God-given right to make a street scene? Everyone here does it, even if they’re not going to get anything out of it. You’re supposed to give that shit up because you’ve been lucky? La2 shokran. you just have to be up to the scene that ensues.
as for the tazer, i fucking long for one. man, i would taze so many assholes.
Well soothsayer, I’m adamantly opposed to people acting like asses. And since you sound like the kind of person who is in the video raving, I’ve going to just file you under that category. I didn’t realize there was a god who gave away rights to act like a rabid dog over something as common as traffic accidents.
“be up to the scene that ensues.”? There’s no excuse for street violence. Your justification is a poorly conceived notion of privilege and hate-mongering.
I’ve been tail-ended twice, and didn’t get angry either time. Nor did I wave around a weapon arbitrarily. People with your mentality, who behave as if anger and violence are a plaything for intimidation are a plague on this society.
