LOL

I remembered this funny yet embarrassing story happened to me few years back. I went to Makkah in Ramadan. I used to go with my friends to perform Umrah during this holy month. We were going with my car so when we arrived, I parked my car far away because of the crowd.

Usually in this month, everyone turns to be a taxi. Even private cars will be taxis because of the huge demand. So a car stopped as the guy saw us waiting for a taxi. We went in, I sat in the front and the three friends of mine were at the back. I started to open a conversation with the guy as none of my friends were talking. So I asked him as if I’m talking to an Indian guy (no offense to Indians but they have a known Arabic accent), Kam sana enta fe sho3’ol hina? (How long have you been here in Makkah?) The guy looked at me and didn’t reply. I repeated the question to him and then I said: Sadeeq? (friend?). I was wondering why he is not answering and later I knew why lol.

So imagine this, I’m waiting for an answer as I started to get annoyed (I hate it when someone ignores me :P)

Driver: ana min mawaleed Makkah 7abeebi..S3oodi zayye zayyak.
(I’m a Saudi citizen as you are..born and raised in Makkah!!)
Me: astonished (if you saw me at that moment, you will know how bad was it :P)
My friends: laughing their asses off..
Me: irritated and embarrassed..
Driver: smiling


If you were in my place..what would you do? :p
