Istorbo sa daan?

[OTEP]

I was driving on the Northbound lane of EDSA in the Balintawak area around 3pm yesterday. In front of Wilcon Builder's Depot was a stalled Civic EK (circa '97). I stopped to try and offer some assistance to the driver.

We first tried to jumpstart the Civic but it would not crank. The driver suspects an electrical problem as the vehicle had stalled earlier that day somewhere in Marikina and the mechanic apparently just jury rigged somethings to get the vehicle started so it could be taken home to Caloocan.

So we couldn't get it started. Fine. I just offered to tow the vehicle (e.g. to a nearby gas station or repair facility). The driver agrees.

I was knelt down with my face just inches from the pavement trying to look for the Civic's towing point. All the smoke and dust from passing vehicles flying at me. There was a bit of a traffic jam as a lot of vehicles were going to the NLEX.

Out of the blue a taxi passing by shouts at me: "[insert expeltives], istorbo kayo sa daan!"

I didn't know if I wanted to kick his door or his face. There I was trying to help a complete stranger and suddenly mr. know-it-all-cab-driver telling me that I am an impediment to his daily routine?

Sorry, medyo naaasar lang talaga kasi ako. Wala naman siyang ginagawa para makatulong tapos magsasalita pa siya ng ganun. Grrr...nakakainit lang ng ulo. Di ko na din nakuha pangalan ng taxi or plate number as I was a bit busy with what I was doing.

Welcome to the world of road rage. No matter what you do, people helping others may magagalit pa rin sa iyo. Eh kasi tanga yong taxi driver eh!

Good samaritan

[maykel]

iba ka talaga doc otep, saludo ako sayo! you did the right thing kaya pabayaan mo na lang mga sira ulong driver na katulad niya.

I remember na may tinulungan ka din na sasakyan sa may monumento circle before at may abirya din nangyari. pulis naman ang pasaway that time

[StraightSix]

Doc, huwag ka sanang magsawa sa pagtulong sa iba.
Baka kasi ako naman ang mangailangan balang araw, hehe.

[Syuryuken]

ibang klase ka talaga doc hindi ka namimili ng tutulungan.

[CVT]

You are a real road hero, bro!

May your tribe increase!

These people who shouted those foul words clearly have nothing better to do....

[CoDer]

Hero ka doc!

Kung ako siguro ang nasa sitwasyon mo eh malamang basag ang driver side window nung taxi.

[OTEP]

Doc, huwag ka sanang magsawa sa pagtulong sa iba.
Baka kasi ako naman ang mangailangan balang araw, hehe.

Actually, nasiraan ako mga two weeks ago. Nagbara fuel filter ko somewhere near Chinatown (ito ata yung part ng Avenida na 'pedestrianized' dati).

It was a Sunday night. Pero walang tumulong sa akin. Oh well, I really wasn't expecting any help.

Tumawag na lang ako sa kuya ni commander and he arrived with the Vitara to tow me back to Caloocan.

[GerardTagayty]

sana pag yun mamang taxi naman ang nasiraan sana umuulan ng malakas tapos traffic tapos mejo bumabaha. tapos walang tutulong sa kanya. ahehehe!

thumbs up to you doc otep! :D

[simplicity]

hawak sa magkabilang tenga, sabay sumbat ng . . . whooozaaa
hehehe...
ganyan talaga bro. you WILL encounter more of those. normal lang naman na ma-asar.
just don't react and do something you'll regret later.
stupid na, tungak pa mga yan.

[pup2]

Wawa naman you. Nevermind the moron -- baka mainit lang ulo niya dahil super traffic. Hey, how come my emoticons don't work?

[Memphis Raines]

Good deeds will always be rewarded with good karma

This is the perfect example why you Doc will always be the civilized doctor and that irrate, uneducated driver will always be an irrate, uneducated driver

Tumirik na rin Civic ko nuon dito sa UK (go Honda! haha). Nung pasakay na ako uli sa tsikot, may dumaan na naka-bisikleta sabay tawa ng "Ha-ha", ala-Nelson Muntz ng Simpsons.

Muntik na akong maasar, pero nung tignan ko nanginginig siya at namumutla na mukha dahil sa pagod at lamig (winter nuon). Ako tuloy ang napatawa nang malakas. Komportable lang kasi ako sa loob ng tsikot, nakabukas ang heater habang naghihintay ng tow truck.

Kaya sumigaw na lang ako pabalik ... "Enjoy the weather!"

[fearless]

napaka matulungin ninyo po talaga sir,swerete pa nga nung civic at may kamukha ninyong tumutulong sa kanya ng ganyan.
kasi sa akin nga nung nasiraan ako,parang walang gustong makiaalam at
may sumigaw din ng:" silaban ko na lang daw yung kotse ko!" at "perwisyo daw kotse ko sa daan!".
hirap talaga pag nasa situation na ganyan at dun sa taxi driver, pabayaan ninyo na lang yung mga sira ulong ganyan,may balik din naman sa kanila yan,malamang doble pa.

[win]

marami talaga mga stupid drivers! karamihan PUV drivers. no read no right kasi.

[eyshmechanic]

teka, teka ako yata ang pinaguusapan nyo ah?! he he commercial break lang po para lumamig ang mga ulo!
