Re: Staring problem
Hey guys,
So I am in Pakistan and thought I’d share the joy
Incident #1 ) Fortress, Lahore: I went with my khala, khalu, their kids, and my sis. All the ladies were wearing shawls. My sis and I were trying to grab our little cousins’ attention. So my sis says to my cousin “I like you.” I grabbed his arm (he is 5) and said, “I lovee you.” There was this group of guys sitting outside. One of them goes, “But I love you moreeeeee” and then they all laughed.
Incident #2 ) Bazaar, Sialkot: I was with my dad who was walking behind me. This riksha wala had parked his riksha and was sitting inside like a frog. When I walked past him, he goes “Mashallah”. Again, my head was covered and I was wearing a fairly over-sized sweater…no makeup.
Incident #3 ) Bazaar, Sialkot: My sis and I were trying to keep up with my khala and mom who were walking ahead. And if you’re familiar with sialkot crowd, it’s riksha/motorbikes/pedestrians all crammed into tiny streets and lots and lots of pollution. Anyways, so three guys were coming from the front, arms locked…one of them purposely hit me on my arm (bohut zor se) and then he goes “ouch” … they kept walking and laughing like badmash guys.
I’ll post more, as I plan on doing more shopping
About situation 1: Making jokes like the one you did at Fortress is pretty much like inviting these kind of comments. I am not condoning them, in fact I think those guys are as pathetic as the ones in incident 2 and 3. But knowing that those creeps are out there you gotta be a bit more careful as to where you’re joking around.
