Back Seat

I was once pampered by my parents having to sit me @ the back seat of the car always, without having to tell me what does it actually mean. So as i grew older, i always thought that is the correct way to get in the car, always sit @ the back of the car! Until one day, the expression on someone's face thought me a lesson.

I remembered i was still in Junior high by then, and my dad couldn't come picked me up @ school, so he sent one of his colleague to come pick me up. So as always, i was waiting inside my school compound, patiently for my dad's colleague to arrive, just like this;

As the car approaches, my dad's colleague ( a woman) saw me and gave me a big warm smile...just like she is picking up her own kids!! Like this,
and i was happy to see her too!! So i went to the car quickly....


As always, i hopped into the back seat of the car!!! and my dad's colleague's face changed into this instantly!

And i was wondering why? Have i done anything wrong? She didn't talk a single sentence to me throughout the whole trip.

This incident had kept me wondering for quiet a while, until i finally got it. Things that i've done, basically i'm treating her as a driver, where in actual fact she is only doing my dad a favour!!! So i couldn't blame her for the reaction.

I know these days there are still lotsa people who likes to sit @ the back seat and pretend to be treated as a "TAOKE". This only applies when you paid someone to be your driver, like a taxi driver...YES?

And in actual fact i was kinda glad that i get to learn the lesson this way. So my parents will think...oh....what a bright young lady i am!!! Hahahaha......oh well....so guys, remember to respect people even small things like getting on the right side of the car!!!

Have a great morning guys!!!
