I learnt a few new things last night.
1. It's fun to be spontaneous, and you won't die from it.
2. Tight rope walkers are cool, but do actually fall.
3. If you stand on the sidewalk and sing, with a hat on the floor in front of you, people will actually give you money. (Never fear, it wasn't me.)
4. Israeli's who sell bubble guns on the beach don't make much money, but they do a lot of flirting. And they are irritating. That's why I don't like Israelis much.
5. Taxi drivers who misinterpret what you say will try to hit you, regardless if you are a women or not. Apperently, they have no problem with hitting a girl.
6. Passers by will not come to your rescue, if they don't understand what's going on. (I hope that was why.)
7. Curfew really does exist, and they do expect you to keep it. Oh well.
Now for the million dollar question: what really went down at the beach last night?
It's passers by, not passer bys.
ReplyDeleteSo hit back. You have an advantage from the back seat. Wear heels and hit them on the back of the neck or on the hand and then face with the heel.
No, we got out of the taxi and he came after us. But we hit back, don't worry. And I am still here to tell the tail.
ReplyDeleteSo what happened?
ReplyDeleteAnd your English is becoming worse ever since you went back to Israel. Tale, not tail.
Me tell you, Me kill you. Better?
ReplyDeleteYou only have the right to correct my English if you are an english teacher, not a russian parading as an american. But thanks anyway.
Now I don't feel like sharing the story.
And two more grammar mistakes.
ReplyDeleteYou are impossible!
ReplyDeleteWhere? Did I forget to capitalize my letters?
I don't feel bad, though apparently you want me to. You didn't tell me my mistakes yet. I'm still waiting.
ReplyDeleteI can't have made mistakes, I'm on the apple computer, they correct you.
What's your email address?
That's all? I knew that, I was just too lazy. You realize you butcher everything I write. Can't you just enjoy the content, for once?
ReplyDeleteYou guys are funny to read.
ReplyDeleteBeach in Israel is fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved flirting with Israelis back in sem :).
Taxi drivers... There are interesting stories... they are all so unique!
I went to Tel Aviv once on Chanuka (two of my Hebrew School students were visiting Isreal so a friend and I went to visit). Anyhow, we brought chocolate coins and sufganiyot with us and offered them to every bus driver/cabbie we saw. The driver who took us from the bus station to the house was on a "diet" so he wouldn't take our food, but we did chat long enough for him to propose :). On the way back to the bus station, we were flagging down cabs, but no one wanted to stop. Finally a cab stopped, we got in and offered him some Chanuka delicacies. HE turned around, "you again?" It was the same driver!
Another story: I had a driver's card and I used to call him a lot. One time, I got a better price than him and I called him to tell him. He got very angry, yelled at me, and told me never to call him again. Six months later, I was at a trempiada (hitchhiking spot) when a cab pulled up, rolled down the window, and called out my name. It was him... he apologized and told me to start using him again :).
The third story involves an accident with an Arab driver. He harassed me for 3 days and ended up taking me to the mechanic as well as the police station. I was freaked out, but basof I look back and laugh :).
(there should be a limit to how long a comment could be... I think I've just broken a record for longest comment)
Longest comment? You kidding me?
ReplyDeletemike- glad you find it so.
ReplyDeleteC- funny stories, I actually dont have that many to tell.
TRS- think you could beat her?
It's been done many times.
ReplyDeleteJust check out the comments on TRS, way too long for my liking
ReplyDeleteReally? You read it? Who knew?
ReplyDeleteTRS- sadly, you have not commented on the actual post. I think this is a violation of the terms of our agreement. Tsk Tsk.
ReplyDelete(It's never too late to correct a mistake...)
ReplyDelete7: Oh well is right.
I guess you'd first have too see it as a mistake.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't a mistake then what was it?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOh! LOL. I meant I made a mistake by not commenting on the post.
ReplyDeletereally. ok. whatever.
ReplyDeleteIt was a mistake. it was my mistake. you are a good girl, probably never did anything 'bad' in your life. good for you. dont judge me. dont read this and tell me 'really.' i did ask you. you are not my mashpia, my rabbi. you dont know me at all. even if i did tell you that in general, i would never do something like this, and it was a one time thing, i dont care if you believe me. i dont have to justify myself to a stranger. so go back to your pretty little good 'chassidish' life, in which you are so perfect, so innocent, and leave me and my conduct alone.
ReplyDeletesharp words. not fun to have your own words thrown back in your face. i think that is not playing fare.
ReplyDeleteI always pay full fare!
ReplyDeletei guess i had it coming, even though i did misunderstand you. but still, you are...no words to fill in. actually, plenty, but i dont want to get put in cherem on blogsphere, so i think i'll keep quiet.
ReplyDeletehave a good shabbos.
Once again, I am laughing out loud. I never intended any criticism, or to be mean, or whatever, and I also never felt criticized, or ill used, or anything. Just trying to have a little fun and not take things too seriously. After all, isn't that what life is all about? Sure, you've got to deal with issues and work hard and whatnot, but if you can't take things with a laugh and a grain of salt, then you'll never get anything accomplished!
ReplyDeleteShabbat Shalom
Interesting exchange. Says a lot about you Altie.
ReplyDeleteAnd about me?
ReplyDeleteYou also want an evaluation?
ReplyDeleteFine.
Your comments show that you're an agent of Satan, sent to earth to taunt people into sinning and to collect their souls for your master.
Happy?
Dang, you've blown my cover!
ReplyDeleteYou own fault for asking.
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd also been duped like the rest of the proletariat-little did I realize how astute you obviously are.
ReplyDeletemoshe- what exactly does it say abt me?
