mabilis ang karma (from TPC)

[renzo_d10]

ewan ko lang ha. that jeepney driver doesn't get my sympathy, dahil na din sa ginawa niya sa lola. imagine mo, paano kunwari lola mo yung ginanun.

masyadong siga lang yung driver, tipong akala niya sakanya na lahat ng dinadaanan niya ultimo yung innova pinapaalis kahit nagiintay lang ng sukli ... ayan isang hampas ng tubo ang inabot niya. :thumbup:

kaya hindi sila umaasenso eh. barumbado pa rin sila umasta, akala ko may ibibigay wala naman pala.

[innoBOB[09JmtG]]

^wala naman ako sympathy sa driver ng jeep, comment ko lang ung ginawa ng innova na tatlo lalake na may tubo.

kung jeepney driver lang din ung kinut ng jeep na barumbado, at yun tinubo din ng kapwa niya jeepney driver, yan! yan ang pwede kong masabi, na buti nga sayo! hehe

[badsekktor]

i dont think its about jeepney drivers per se kasi may mga matitino din naman na jeepney drivers. The fact is, that certain jeepney driver is very arrogant and rude. yun nga lang narinig sya nung mga naka-innova tapos dinagdagan pa nya ng pagharang ng jeep nya para hindi makaaalis yun naka-innova, siguro naman kahit sino sa inyo eh mag-iinit ang ulo ninyo kapag ganun ang ginawa......

unless you dont have the balls to confront the guy i guess.....

lumalakas kasi loob ng isang tao kapag hindi napaparusahan sa ginawang kasalanan. experience ko nung ma rear end ako ng isang jeep, pinagawa naman kaso sa capalangan yun parts, hindi ko siningil pati yun 3 days absence ko sa work dahil sa abala niya. Nagmamakaawa pa dahil sa 4 daw anak at siya lang naghahanapbuhay... akalain mo nung mapirmahan ko na yun blotter para mairelease yun kumag napag-alaman ko 3 na yun kinasasangkutan nung driver na aksidente within that year at yun isa eh nakasagasa ng batang babae at namatay pa! kung nalaman ko lang yun eh hinayaan ko mabulok sya sa kulungan

[james00112233]

paminsan nga ako binabayad ko sa jeep ung tag 5 cents pag di ko trip ung drayber, nakaready na yun!

pwede kong i-try yung idea na yan...

Maiba tayo... bakit ba ang weird ng laws of karma?
When karma strikes, the offended party never there to witness it....
I believe in karma. But I also want to be there when karma strikes.

[digitalron]

^I guess sometimes the offended party is there, sometimes not, but for sure, the offending party just gets what he deserves

I had a recent incident with a "not-too-civilized" jeepney driver along Shaw as well. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was driving along Shaw from Kapitolyo going towards Shangrila in the middle lane when a jeep that was on the right lane picking up people suddenly started and swerved to the left (with no hand or light signal) just as I got reached his rear part. Naturally, I had to break hard and beeped my horn to warn him that there was someone behind him, but he just when on without skipping a beat. He also ran a red light. So I stopped and waited for the light to turn green. This was at around the Tropical Hut area.

When the light turned green I moved on. Imagine my chagrin when the same jeep did it again: he was stopped, picking up passengers, and when I reached his rear portion (again, I was on the middle lane and he was on the right lane), he abruptly started and swerved to my lane with no signal whatsoever!

Really pissed this time, I honked my horn long, and maneuvered my vehicle so that I am side by side with him. I rolled down my window and (I admit I shouted) told him "Ayusin mo naman pagmamaneho mo! Mag signal ka para di ka makadisgrasya!" I then rolled my window up and moved on.

This apparently pissed him off that he made every effort to catch up with me and I could see (but can't hear) him gesturing at me and shouting at me, even pointing his finger at me. Sensing that I was ignoring him, he made a final effort to cut me, to be foiled by the traffic situation... until we reached just past Lourdes. There he managed to squeeze his jeepney and partially blocked me. So I rolled down my window and looked at him and heard him tell me something like "sige, bumaba ka at tuturuan kita ng leksyon. Araw araw ako dito at di kita papapormahin." (or something like that... and note that it was much more adjective-laden, hehe)

I was thinking of a smart retort when I saw a Pasig TE approach us so I kept my mouth shut. The driver kept on muttering stuff. When the TE reached my window he asked what happened. I said "E chief, pinagsabihan ko yung driver na yan na ayusin ang pamamaneho kasi swerve ng swerve at di nagsisignal. Ngayon, ako pa hinahamon at tinatakot."

With that, the TE walked to the jeepney driver and ticketed him for traffic obstruction (he was causing traffic blockage because he blocked me partially). They had an argument and shortly thereafter, another TE came by on a motorcycle. With that, I left them and went on my way, with them still arguing with each other. Hehehe!

[innoBOB[09JmtG]]

^dapat inasar mo pa ng inasar! wala naman baril ang jeepney drivers. hehe. basta sure mo lang na malabo niya malaman saan ka pumaparada hehe

[badsekktor]

langya brod ang bait mo! ako yan papakainin ko ng tingga yan ng matameme

[digitalron]

*innoBOB[09JmtG] - actually I wanted to (hehehe), kaso the TE was nearby and was able to intervene. He (the jeepney driver) definitely won't know where I park since I live inside a subdivision, haha!

*badsekktor - I actually carried a licensed gun waaaaaay back in the past, about a decade and a half ago. I used to work in a government agency and was assigned a handgun at a time when the work turned a little bit... unconventional (don't ask, I am not allowed to say). Anyway, a traffic altercation with a stupid teenager (cut me three times in the early morning, he and his two companions were drunk) made me realize how easy it is for me to make a mistake (ok, so I did commit a mistake at that time) so that same day, I returned the gun. Today, I am thinking of getting a licensed firearm again because I do a significant amount of out-of-town driving, oftentimes carrying expensive equipment and some cash, but I always back out at the last moment because of apprehensions of misuse on my part. I got family and am wary of doing something stupid because I have a gun with me. But that's me

At the end of the day, I realized that by taking the moral high ground in the altercation with the jeepney driver, some higher powers made sure the bad person got what he deserved

[malinkelly]

hindi talaga maganda yung ginagawa nung driver sa matanda.. walang galang at respeto... pero hindi rin maganda yung ginawa nung 3 lalake sa driver..

[moejun2]

good job! sometimes we just have to sit back and watch karma do her thing.

[digitel]

hindi talaga maganda yung ginagawa nung driver sa matanda.. walang galang at respeto... pero hindi rin maganda yung ginawa nung 3 lalake sa driver..

Tama ito sir! I agree, sir digitalron kawawa yung jeep hehehe! Tama na po yung ginawa niyo,

[xtremerider]

IMHO...He deserved it for what he did to the senior citizen and for how he behaves...Lesson learned, wag maging abusado sa kalsada or else baka ma karma...hehehehe!

sorry for advising you with that one.... maybe im just angered with your encounter.

If i were in your shoes, i'd probably pulled my window down and stick my middle finger up and drive.... I still own several handguns, and a couple of rifles though but i never applied for any permit to carry them....

[renzo_d10]

well having a gun in the car can be a good or a bad thing ....

it can be good because you are ready if danger happens like hijackers try to open your vehicle or steps in front of you instructing you to open your doors for them to be able to get in etc. etc.

it can be bad since there are instances that you use the gun even you shouldn't, example of this would be traffic altercations. SOME irresponsible gun owners shoot the " suspect " if he has been cut or he encounters a rough talk with a specific driver -, topic too shallow for the " oppressed " to shoot the " oppressor "

if you can, just fix things by talking. if you can't .... leave them and let karma do her thing.

[Sniper Wolf]

I believe hindi lang tubo ang dala ng tatlong lalaki na naka-innova. Maswerte parin yung driver ng jeep dahil tubo lang inabot nya.

Kung barumbado talaga yung taga innova baka dun sa pagtalak pa lang ng jeepney driver inumbagan na nila. Di na nila aantayin harangan pa yung innova.

[judoman]

di nga po tama yung mga innova goons pero deserve ng driver rin yun. sa tagal ng pagmamaneho nya at dami ng victim ng malaimburnal nyang asal. siguro katumbas na yun ng salaksak ng tubo sa muka nya. di man maganda ang form ng karma nya pero kailangan lang siguro na dumating na sa kanya yun. kawawa po yung matanda. aral lang sa kanya yan.

about po sa mga private cars..mostly mga drivers lang yan na tapos na ihatid ang mga amo nila. so di sila nagkakaiba sa mga public vehicles sa driving style. (pero tama po kayo na maganda masampulan rin mga private vehicles) lalo na yung mga nag-pupumilit bumirit pag may nakitang liliko kahit na napakalayo pa nila. parang may medal ang hindi masingitan or naiinulto sila pag may sasakyan na nauna sa kanila.

common sense ang kailangan hindi utak unggoy.

...buti na lang maraming innova sa kalye. innova kilabot ng mga jeep!

[holdencaulfield]

sana isinalaksak sa tumbong ng drayber yung tubo tapos dinukot nila yung puso tapos kinain sa harap ng mga pasahero habang iniinom nila yung dugo. mas mainam sa katinuan natin kung ganun. atleast alam nating di na makakapaminsala yung lekat na drayber.

[Ma^ride]

Napansin ko lang dun sa first scene, napakaangas talaga noong kups na driver sya hari ng eksena noong time na yun.

At TS paki describe naman yung itsura, reaksyon kung may sinabi si kups na driver noong time na bumaba na yung mga bida natin sa kwento na ito Wala na nasabi si kups na driver noong time na yun?

I believe so too. I think the passengers of the Innova did have a firearm (even firearms) and may have even considered using it, but perhaps one of them was able to convince the rest that using a gun might be too much and that a pipe-based disciplining would suffice.
