What Begins in Fury Ends in Shame

Speaking of embarrassing situations, the other day on my way to school, I was too much of a hurry to notice that I blocked the road when I was supposed (out of courtesy) to leave a room for a car to pass instead of letting the man wait until the traffic clears.
The man got really MAD that he rolled down his car window and shouted: "EL 7A2 MISH 3ALEEKI, EL 7A2 3ALY A3TAKY DAFTAR EL SWA2A!!!" In Lebanon we say daftar el swa2a instead of "rokhsah" (It's not your fault, it's the fault of those who allowed you to carry the license).
I was shocked! It was the first time since I started driving 4 or 5 years ago that someone says such a remark to me! I found myself yelling back at him in English : "GO TO HELL!!"
The man apparently didn't understand what I said. He got even more angry and shouted: "SHOOO??!! SHO 3AM BET2OOLI?!" (What? What have you just said?!). Maybe he's french educated or something, and I really have no idea why did I reply in English, it just came out spontaneously, maybe I couldn't think of anything in Arabic to say. What was I supposed to say anyway? ya 7ayawan, wella e5ras ya 7mar? :D. Go to hell mo2adabeh aktar, lol.
I ignored him and went on my way. I wasn't in the least offended for I knew that I did nothing wrong. I humbly consider myself one good driver who follows the rules and knows perfectly well that safety belts and flashlights aren't there for decoration, nor the signs are there to decorate the streets .

At school, when it was time to go home, I heard a teacher saying that her husband was coming to pick her up. As I stepped out of the building, I caught sight of a man who sounded familiar, and suddenly an uneasy feeling crept over me. I couldn't explain the feeling at first, but when I saw the car I recognized that it was the same man with whom I exchanged insults that same morning. He was my friend's husband!
I stood there stunned for a few seconds not knowing what to do, then I rushed back into the building pretending that I forgot something. I knew it would be very embarrassing for both of us to face each other. So I chose to avoid the embarrassment for a while, at least until he forgets all about it :D
I told a friend about the incident, she said that this man works with the Lebanese internal security forces, ya mamaaa :O
So, in case i disappeared suddenly for unknown reasons, know that I was found out and put in beit khalty, w ma tenso tjeeboly 3aish w 7alawah :D
