Yup. I learned this phrase from my Brit-now-Australian mentor (at work). When someone honks like... "beeeeeeeEEEeeeeeeeEEeeeeeeEeeeeep" - it's as though someone has died on the horn.
This has become a commonplace joke with everyone in my team now and one of us will say it when we hear someone honking away trying to gain the attention of the idiot who has double-parked behind him or her so that said idiot will come and move their car away.
Well... I had the honour of being one of those unfortunate people who had to resort to doing some incessant honking last Friday... for a whole good 10-15 minutes thanks to a moron who didn't even have the courtesy to leave his or her contact number visible on their car dashboard.
I was supposed to get home to meet dad and get my stuff for going home to Penang before the both of us leave for the 8pm bus to Penang from the old KTM station in KL. I was cursing away under my breath at that moron and was tempted to inflict some serious scratches on the moron's car except that I can't and didn't do that because my car is still trapped by said moron's car.
So my dad formed plan B. He told me to abandon the car. Then he called for a taxi from USJ, boarded the taxi, and told the guy to take a detour to Damansara Uptown to pick me up.
So... does that mean my car stays in DU over the weekend? Nope. That will not be necessary because my brother who was arriving back in KL from a business trip to Singapore has been assigned to pick the car up. Hence the car was rescued... and I still hope karma will go back and give back to the moron what said moron deserves for being a total inconsiderate buffoon.
