Felxible?

Driving to work today made me think about a comment from one of my wife’s colleagues. He claimed it was stressful to drive in Australia because the drivers there were not as flexible as the Malaysian.
So today when I was driving on a stretch of road where the road splits into two and you know 1.5km in advance a split is coming up. Still there are drivers who want to wait with changing lane to the last 20m before the split. This means I have to be flexible, brake and let them in just so they can save 10 seconds on their driving time. And on top of that it always makes my heart stop and my tummy cramped. Anyway I am not writing to complain about the driving itself, but the comment above, which is unique by the way.

So, just by looking at the above example of me driving to work (I could give at least 5 examples more of my ride to work) who benefited from the flexibility?
Yup, the guy (or girl) who was driving selfishly!

So, who has a reason to be happy about flexible driving?
Yup, the guy (or girl) who was driving selfishly!

So isn’t the logical assumption that people who praise the flexibility of Malaysian drivers are those who benefit the most from the flexible driving.

So the next time I hear somebody praising the flexibility of driving in Malaysia I can’t help thinking that that person is a
SELFISH PRICK!

Being poor?

Being poor is not to have little,
it is to yearn for a lot
