Arabs get really innovative when it comes to public relations. This note was found in a vehicle instead of a parking ticket along side a 100 dirham note in a paid parking zone.
English translation: “I swear to Allah that I do not have coins, and am here just for 10 minutes, so PLLLEEEAAASSSEEE Mr. RTA, am sure you can understand and not fine me”
Obviously, when he addresses the parking inspector as Mr. RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) and adds a smiley at the end, he’s surely got a sense of humour, this guy.
And then, I got a dose of the same, closer home. After a few days of arguments with my wife, I found this in my car, 1 afternoon…
How can someone be upset after this? And can you imagine, what was the argument about in the first place?
Mmmm….why is the E in hate in the form of a pound/sterling?
π
shu haada ya’akhi?!
Gr8 job snooping around the parking lot!
Ahem! I hope you’ve made up for whatever you did. you bad bad boy!
\m/
Good thought.I do not know what would happen in an identical situation in South Delhi.
Lol since when arabs are getting innovative π
lol!! ye -could -be-a – bribe thi kya? or a tempting offer to mr ‘RTA’?:D
pardon moi for a bribe is the first thing that comes to mind when I see that dirham ..the second thought is ‘Why in the name of all thats holy did noone break the windshield and try to get that note?”
coz believe me the situation here would be veryyy different
and ah!regarding the last pic…what did you do Rakesh?Ho can someone be upset after this?
you mean upset and I-hate-you kinda emotions in the same breath?
π
then you dont know how the female mind works dear boy π
and she is right to get upset π
now tell us what you did π
quickLY!
@Reb: He he, Everything is about money innit?
@DPhatsez: Actually got this in an email π
@Chowla ji: I guess, Indy knows wht would happen π
@Varunavi: See, even I was wondering π
@Indy: No bribes, that was meant to tell the RTA Guy that I have money but no coins π Yeah, I can imagine what would happen there.
Yeah, the female mind works in strange ways but I meant, How can I be upset after such a lovely t-shirt and message π
Actually, it’s still about the long hair π She thinks I look shabby. I tell her, good for you, no girls will look at me then π
Haha…funny indeed…and seems like arguments end up in you getting gifts…keep it up π
Do not sacrifice your long hair for anything…I have tried keeping long hair twice but even after not getting a haircut for 6-7 months at a stretch they never grew very long…would have loved to get a pony π¦
π Interesting indeed!!! π
So, did you make up or still at war??? π
haha i remember seeing that. it came as an email forward couple of months back. made us all laugh out loud.
btw, with parking issues here in UAE, i’ve seen some pretty innovative notes on dashboards with cell phone numbers..
I hope you have apologised and made up for whatever you did!!! If she had to write a note like this I can so understand how upset she must have been.
Did you argue about that yellow T shirt? She doesn’t like the colour and you stubbornly insist upon wearing it? Now I am with her … err she is the one who loves it, then I guess on second thoughts… so you know which side we are!!
π
Just read your response to Indyeah, so it’s about long hair? I agree with her, short hair looks much better!
To be honest long hair is such a pain to maintain, I recommend a quick hair cut and a before and after blog post π
And the second one is so cheeky!!! Very cute! You can read Arabic!?
Cute one Rakesh! Imagine u finding that note, and clicking it too!! Very nice. And you know hoe to read Arabic? I am impressed.
I hope she is not upset with you, and if you still haven’t made up, you are a really mean man! She bought this for you inspite of a fight, that is just sho sho shweet of Sakshi. You are a lucky guy for sure.
@IJD: Yeah, gifts bought out of swiping a card which I gotta pay at the month end π Imagine, 8 months of growing hair and I’m supposed to get it cut? Just like that?
@Aaarti: How can I be at war after this note? π
@Masood: Yeah, you gotta try this sometimes… Let me know if it works
@IHM: Actually, I love the t-shirts she buys for me – colours such as Pink and Yellow π
And that’s what I told her, lets buy a camera, keep some memories of my long hair and then i’ll get it cut. We lost our camera so this gives me some more time π
Actually, that came to me in an email π
@GM: Nope, can’t read arabic – Came in an email. I’m a lucky guy for sure. Never mind the fact that I am not allowed to keep long hair.
Why did the RTA leave a shirt for you? π
That was a good one… very creative.
Note from the wife… simply adorable!! π Long hair, eh?
Haha. Nice one there.
Such a sweet note there na π So, did ya have a haircut?
A tag awaits you inmy new post.
Ps – Long hair is for women!!
Awww.. that’s a sweet way of making up.
@Solilo: Maybe, he saw me parading my Salman Khan like body at the beach π
@Terra: Adorable definitely π
@URV: Not yet…
@GM: Long hair is for women and dudes π
@Julia: Yep, I like it too π
Awwwwww π
Your wife’s a sweetheart π
What a thoughtful gesture π
Wives r so adorable, caring and EXPRESSIVE of course π
Yeah, tell what was the argument abt?
Good to see u bak π
OMG that RTA note is from a massive despo right! We wont get any sympathy for that over here…I got fined $159 for parking at a no-stopping area for just 2mins!!! yeah I know, I screwed up big time and there’s no excuse for that.
sweet note from ur wifey :):) I read ur reply to another commentor here..so twas abt ur long hair. well personally I’d like my guy to change his hairstyle from time to time…long when I want it, short when I want it again. LOL!
Keshi.
@ki: Agree
@Swats: Agree
@Vee: Long hair vs. Short hair man…
@Keshi: $159??? Actually this guy was in a parking zone but a Paid Parking one, but still his fine would be AED 200 if the RTA wasn’t convinced.
Yeah, I change it too but can’t grow it long overnight so would like to keep it for at least a few months when I’ve spent 8 months growing it.
Lol! this is truly humorous! I especially liked the note you got! U r lucky! π
hey u r lucky to have such a adorable wifey…
She is upset with you and still she is giving u gift π Ideally it shd be other way .. π
abt note to rta – good to know arabs are also getting innovative now π
wow:) seems to me you have a lovely wife:)
yep $159 for 2 frikkin careless mins of my life. I CRIED when I spotted the RTA note on my car! *lolz*
ur hair…GFs wud like it long. Wife wudnt haha!
Keshi.
@Rakesh: Yep, I believe so too π
@Rashmi: Ideally, there could be a lot of things π
@Renu ji: Seems to me too π
@Keshi: Now where can I find that gf? π he he
But why does a wife stop being a gf then? π
heyy.. so i am visitng after gazillion years.. kindly to be forgive.. Work was killing me left right and center! May I say — The second bit (with the shirt)..totally awww..and u men should know how women do not hold grudges! :P:P:P… or atleast we know how to make u guilty! LOL.. but sweet.. and hilarious arab man i say! π I should try that in India! hahahaha
**But why does a wife stop being a gf then?
Sadly I cannot ans that qn cos I’ve never been a WIFE. π But I know I wont stop being a GF to my partner even after I get married. Cos Marriage wont be able change me…I wanna change Marriage hehehe…
Keshi.
hahah….dude u got too much time on hand.
This next piece of advice is for your wife:
“ma’m, next time, please smack him around a couple of times. you will find this is more effective than hand written notes”.
btw….me think, Arabs are one of the funniest race around.
Your wife is the cutest!!! You are very lucky indeed π
Maybe next you should post a pic of your long hair π Unless you’ve already chopped it off π
@Tanu: You women sure know how to make men feel guilty π
@Keshi: Actually, when she was my gf, I had short hair. So she hasn’t changed π
@Satya: Thank God, she doesn’t come to my blog often. I’m hoping she’ll loose your comment in all other the nice comments π
Agree about the Arabs. I mean, what could be more funny than not having an alphabet for ‘P’ and replacing it with ‘B’. So pepsi becomes bebsi, parking becomes barking…
@Smitha: The long hair is still surviving. Thought it’s getting tough π
aha in that case, she’s a short-hair lover π
Good that she hasnt changed.
Keshi.
Agree with Indyeah….try that here and your windshield will be smashed!
Long hair, eh?
But you didn’t do too badly: you kept the long hair, got a gift, got a sweet, feel-good note, and got to write a nice blog post.
Wah!
Don’t push your luck, though! π
Quirky Indian
@Keshi: Yeah π
@Quirky: Come to think of it, I guess you’re right π I think I should get that haircut now. The days of milking it are over…
aww-ed, that is so sweet
u had a fight because u refused to get a haircut?? bwahahaaa..
even i got that in an email forward, i somehow cant imagine arabs with that kind of sense of humour π
The Arab part was so funny
And your wife’s post was so very very sweet π
“Hello!!” to her π
Sorry I rarely come here, a lot things keeping me away, so I’m blogrolling you, to keep connected π
Tc!
I actually thot….
She was terribly busy & u were just lazing around watching Tv & all. Just 5 mins b4 u had to leave for office/gym/whtever u asked her to iron ur shirt. She got angry & threw the shirt at U. U went away to clean up in a huff & wore another T-shirt. When u reach the car U see this sight.ie. ur most sweet, beautiful, kind, patient, tolerent & loyal wife has ironed ur T-shirt for u inspite of her busy schedule. And u got all senti & clicked this pic to let us know how wonderful she is.
And then I read the real reason…..something abt stooopid hair;-/.
So sweet! So sweet! So sweet!
:))
Listen Mr-wannabe-dude, make your wife like your hair or cut it short.
Why do bfs stop being bfs after marriage?
Answer answer. Aye bade hero. And seriously, if she thinks it doesnt look all that nice on you, she must be right. Listen to her.
(I’m so totally on your wife’s side. :P)
S
@ISH: Yeah, it might be an Indian who knows how to write Arabic π
@Mehreen: “Hello” from her π Thanks!
@Nancy: Yeah, Trust you Only YOU to think of such a long story π See – I’m stooopider than you think π
@Sakshi: Please remove the wannabe word there π
This is not fair, you haven’t seen my hair to pass a judgement. That is called being sexist – taking my wife’s side coz. she’s a woman…
such a nice wife u have got …:-)
