That image pretty much sums up what I feel every time I get stuck in traffic. That happens every day on my way to work and on my way back home. See, I work somewhere in Pasig City, and I live in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. More than one hour is the average time it takes for me to drive from one city to the other without heavy traffic. When the rehabilitation of the Alabang viaduct and some parts of the South Luzon Expressway started, a day without heavy traffic became a thing of myth and legends. I can bitch about it and curse it like it slaughtered my friends (all four of them), but I’m not gonna do that.
Police chiefs in the Thai capital, Bangkok, have come up with a new way of punishing officers who break the rules – an eye-catching Hello Kitty armband.
The armband is large, bright pink and has a Hello Kitty motif with two hearts embroidered on it.
From today, officers who are late, park in the wrong place or commit other minor transgressions will have to wear it for several days.
Through the power of telepathy, I managed to conduct a profound interview with one of the first officers who were reprimanded using this dastardly tool of discipline:
Baddie: How does it feel to be shamed by this sinister armband? Do you realize that you look like a gay?
Thai Cop: I don’t really see why… wait. A gay? NOOOOOOOO!!!! (translated from Thailanese)
