I went to pick up my daughter from school but parked over the road from the school requiring me to cross over the Ped crossing to get there and back.
On the return there were about 10 kids waiting to cross also, normally there are two cops to stop the traffic but not today. I got them across onto the median strip Ok and waited for a break in the traffic, saw that, so shepherd them most of the way when some idiot comes belting down the the road bearing straight towards us, lights flashing and horn blaring. At the last moment he verred into another lane, there were two empty ones beside him. The kids got a fright, one tried to run back to the median strip, I grabbed his collar and got him to the side of the road. I loaded my daughter into my vehicle and quickly took off.
The idiot was parked about 5 cars ahead of me at the next set of lights, so I made sure I kept my eye on his pickup and kept a discreet distance back. After only 4 kilometers he makes a turn left into the local fresh market. I park beside him and walk over, tap on his window. He knew something was up because he tried to lock the door but I got to the door handle and opened it before he could.
I said to him, did you see me trying to get the kids across the ped crossing ? he replied with some stupid response like, "its a road, you should wait until no cars are coming"
The red mist dropped and I gave him a slap, he gets his mobile out saying he was going to call Police. I grab the mobile and throw it on the roof of the market, give a another good slap, reach in and grab his car keys and heave them up on the roof to join his phone.
Get in my car feeling very happy with myself and a lot of dumfounded Thais staring at my departing vehicle.
