Just a bit of fun Boris before you boycott again  I used to live on a quiet one way street in Zagreb... there was a very expensive car heading the wrong way up the street and we met... naturally given I had the audacity to go the correct way I was expecting him to reverse... but he just sat there signally at me to go back. After 5 mins of one and two fingered salutes and hard core usage of Croatian profanity offering each other suggestions of what we'd like to do to our respective mothers from the relatively safety of our cars. I just got out and left the car in the middle of the street and went into my apartment. I watched from my Balcony... and he sat there for 35 minutes beeping his horn before finally moving. |

here i have a bunch of them...
i had one car cut me off (alomst hit me)when i didnt take off imediatley from a green traffic light, i chased him down, had steam coming out of my ears, yeeled every fng swear word and all the rest of it at him, reversed towards him full speed then breaked last second, he really pissed me off. i stopped beside him and he drove off like a little weazle. im a quiet very understanding person, but when i get pissed off, which is pretty rare, people tend to run...very quickly.
once i had a car accident, the traffic lights wrent working. i actually came out of an intersection to take a peak around the corner, and a car swiped the fron of me. cos i was coming out of the right side intersection it was apparently my fault. Then cops came, the cop was telling me its my fault, im saying to him im not sure, the treffic lights arent working. then he says to me, "im telling you one thing then you again your story". anyway... i was pretty upset stacked the mercedes an d all that. i wanted this to go to court. its not for the copper to decide whos fault it is.eventually, considering th edamage was only my bumper, i decided to go with what the copper is saying. but the cop has no business telling me its my fault.
i also had abuse hurled at me countless times when people would drive by me when i would go for my daily jog by the side of the road. everything from wheres the rabbitt u r chasing after? whos chasing you? stuff like that. pathetic behaviour. i still jog, words do not break my bones but they irritate the f out of me, maybe they should stop the car and yell abuse.
i remember twice having people yell abuse thru their car windows directed at me and the mercedes i was driving at the time.
i once got a job in this firm i wont mention, the bosses son drove me on the freeway towrds zagreb, obviously in a hurry, he was overtaking trucks doing about 150 by using the service lane.
also dont like teachers who work at further education places and swear. dont like it. wont go into it. but thats pathetic.
once got chased out of a shop on the island of Hvar, i think it was stari grad, in 1993. i was wearing shorts and nothing else, the shops about 5 meters from the beach. he was yelling sram te bilo etc... i was laughing and thinking i was on candid camera but the guy was serious. haha. unbelievable.
i was sitting on a park bench just yesterday, went for a bike ride. and i saw a nice family of 4 walking 2wards this lady and her kid. the lady says to the family.."you look like smogovci with a haha" i thought,,,typical croat direspect, ok if its some group of guys but its a nice family, they have their pride and respect they deserve. anyway...the lady is following them, and says...oooo your daughter is dressed nice, and the mum says...shes totaly nice, not just dressed nice. dont know... just the abuse and pride and respect battle thing that i see soooo much of here.
i was once at the border crossing coming over from bosnias serpska krajina into croatia. i was overtaking a parked truck which was going to have customes check it out. it was a solid lane i was overtaking but everyone overtakes the rucks despite that, and everyone knows that, everyone does it and cops even wave people to do it. anyway..i slowly overtook this parked truck, it was like midnight, i was preparing to stop beside the coppers little hangout box. when he comes jumping out like a mental case... jumpijng with his arms outstretched at the solid line, then i move at a snails pace towards him, and his grabbing his head all angry and jumping like a lunatic yelling some crap, every time i jerked the car forewrd he would jum and point at the line like i was running over his mothers head.
hes pretending to be all angry and stuff. then i figure out that he cant see my wife and family, they are on the back seat, the windows at the back are tinted and he thinks im alone.
when he noticed my wife on the back seat, he was excorcised. Then he was totaly civilised when i gave him my australian documents.
i sometimes imagine what the hell he was planning to do if i were alone? he is a cop. dont know ow he react if i were to ask for his boss. but people like that should not be police. they are d**n disgraces to humanity. and people ike that carry guns?

If you want to have some fun on a quiet afternoon or morning here is something nice to do:
Walk into a shop (or call them by phone) and ask the first employee you find if they are the boss. When the answer is no, simply ask where the boss is or how you can reach him.
Probably they will tell you they are not allowed to give his name or phone number, in which case you should ask when he is present.
Most probably the answer is 'I don't know', so walk up to the door and start writing down the name and address of the shop.
99 % of the time they will completely close up, throw you out of the shop, start screaming at you or ignore you.
Success is guaranteed !
Apparently they still have memories of days gone by, when someone asking for the boss always meant bad news.

hey mambo those days havnet gone by, they are still here.
i was in town a few days ago...once again..another fast food place with "drzavni inspeltorat" tape all over the doors and windows, and a bit of strin between the door and door frame held together by a wax seal. and theres more...theres a note on the window that says if anyone breaks that wax seal that they get a fine or prison...
haha its almost like witchcraft with the wax seal thing.
and the tape all over the shop is sure to put the "sram te bilo" gossip into action.
not only do they want your money, they ant to disgrace you, and put a crappy seal there that some kid could rip off for the fun of it, and make things even worse.
i took a phot of it on my mobile phone. its the sort of stuff that motivates investment.

Sounds like that could have been 'galant' after reading about his road rage habits. |

For a show like that you can also go a little North of Rovinj.
There is a part of the beach where basically anything goes, it is a 'swingers beach' and it is not uncommon to see a lot of people having sex right on the beach.
Best part of it all is that this beach is on the way to Limski fjord and thus all the boats loaded with tourists, heading for the fjord, pass within 10 meters of the beach so that everyone on board can have a look.

Here's a bizarre encounter I had recently at the local planning office.
After some time and effort wandering around a very large and antiquated building we finally found what we thought was the kataster office. A dark, dust covered library with large and very old books lining the shelves from floor to ceiling.
A tiny little lady who could only just see over the large oak counter appeared and took our inquiry, and then told us that we were in fact in the wrong office.
She very kindly gave us directions to where we should be. Out of that office, down the corridor, along another corridor, up three steps and through the third door on the right.
We followed her directions and duly entered the correct office, almost identical to the first one with the same array of dust covered, leather bound volumes lining the walls.
Then the same little lady appeared through a connecting door and said yes, how can I help you!!!!!!!!!!
It was like a scene from Fawlty Towers.

I have to say, these stories have entertained me! I can't imagine in what other country you would hear such random stories like this... like those strange comments thrown at joggers haha. For now I have no experiences like this, but I hope soon I will have some funny occurence happen to me...

Madgolfer, Was her name 'Manuela' ? From Barcelona perhaps ? Fun part is that I can fully imagine this story, I have a few offices in mind where the same could happen at any time.
