Top Ten: Unfortunate Situations to Be In

Besides my normal posts, I shall introduce to you a countdown of ten things based on the week's topic. I will treat it like a series. My Top Ten series. Yeah that's what I'll call it. Hopefully I can produce it once a week. So you have a reason to come visit my blog weekly and I can guarantee that a week I'll at least have one new post. My materials might be from my experience or someone else's. Which is which, you have to find out yourselves eh. Without rambling much further, here's the first of the series, Top ten unfortunate situations to be in:

10. You're at the exit(mainly shopping mall) and you forgot to pay the parking using the auto pay machine.
Especially, when you realise that, the cars had started queueing behind you.There's no turning back. They honked at you like no body's business and you start to panic.aargghhh. But the bright side is that the parking attendant might get panic too and let you off for free.

9. People honk in tense situations.
Tense situations here could mean like the above or in a traffic jam. You know, when you're stuck there and nowhere else to go, and suddenly this wise guy began honking. It then triggers a chain reaction. As a result everyone honks without knowing who they are honking at. And everyone ends up feeling more stressed out than before. We should promote this culture to foreigners for the Tourism Malaysia.

8.Trying to find a clear traffic exiting KL during peak hours(evening).
You've been driving for quite some time and you know basically all the roads exiting KL like the back of your hand. You turn here and turn there and make another turn somewhere just to end up in another place that is congested. It's just pointless as KL is right smack in the middle of the hot zone. You can't run away from this.

7. Forgot to pay for your meal.
Had lunch, walked around the mall, after a while passed the restaurant again and the waiter reminded you that haven't paid.Hahaha, how unfortunate or may I say embarrassing was that. Of course it was unintentional, but do you think the waiter is going to buy that excuse.

6. It rains and you find a bird poop on your car after you've just washed it.
Talk about watermarks. The car was at its best, all sparkling and all clean. Someone could have mistaken it for a new car. But the bird just couldn't do its business before you washed your car. Always after.*sigh* It is just wasn't meant to be.

5.You have to pay extra even though you rushed to exit the car park.
Talking about ironic, here's one. You parked somewhere that the rates are very expensive. So you tried your best not to get charged extra. Your watch showed 2 mins till the extra charge. You sped off to your car and drove to the exit. By the time you got through the exits, you still need to pay extra because the time stated on the ticket is a few minutes earlier than it should be.

4. You are late for Maths.
I'm not talking of 10-30 mins. late, but 1 hour. If you can't get anything inside your head when you attend the class from the beginning, imagine how is it when you attend the class barely knowing what the lecturer is talking about. Picture this, Math in French. Here, the phrase 'better late than never' doesn't apply.

3. Some stranger waves at you and you waved back....
but actually its his/her friend behind you that he/she was waving at. To look cool, you pretended that you're waving to someone far away or do a weird dance with both hands up in the air like you don't care (not recommended).

2. While you were drinking someone utter a funny statement making you spout the water in your mouth.
If you're lucky, the water will just fall into your plate. If not,well then that's another case. Make an excuse that you were trying to test how far can you spout water from your mouth. Ask them to try. Then you won't be the only one looking foolish. hahaha.

1. Arguing with a doctor
Relax, the doctor that I mean here is not the practicing one, whom prescribes medicine for you nor is it the one that jabs you with vaccine when you get flu. I'm talking about the ones with PhD's i.e some lecturers. Even though when you are sure that you are right, you have all the facts straight, you understand the subject matter clearly and you expressed your thoughts directly, the doctor will end up winning the argument. I don't know how he does it but he will stick to his principles no matter how bad his communcation skill is and try to emphasise his point. I guess the moral here is never argue with a doctor (PhD).
