A Sudden Twist Of Fate

Everytime when we book out of camp on Saturday noon, my mates and I would rush to the taxi stand so that we can get a cab and get home quickly.

So everything was the same thing for yesterday’s book out only except that, there wasn’t any taxis around. Oh, another thing happened and therefore this incident is up here for all of you to read on my blog.

We were waiting quite impatiently at the taxi stand when this man in his sixties came and stood in front of us, obviously trying to cut our queue. He was glaring at his mobile phone and pretending not to see us.

We voiced out among ourselves loudly, saying that the taxis are taking a long time to come. Apparently, he seems to be deaf and didn’t hear us indirectly telling him not to cut the queue.

After a minute or two, he moved out of the taxi stand and stood beside it. This way, he can board any taxi before they can reach the taxi stand.

This is the most shameless form of queue cutting I’ve ever seen. Not only he’s pretending to be deaf, he’s actually pretending to be dumb as well. Note that he was looking at this mobile phone, using it as a tool to cut our queue.

We were pretty irritated by him, getting ready to do whatever we want to do if he were to board any cab before us. So what if he’s old, so what if we were in our army uniform?

And then it happened.

A luxurious Mercedes-Benz stopped beside him. A well-built Caucasian man stepped out and proceeded to open the back door for him before closing it for the old man again.

We watched in silence as they drove away.
