My Cinderella curfew has been reinstated, and with it comes the mad dash/drive home. I am always late.. and therefore always driving fast and somewhat recklessly (very recklessy according to my California driving manual).
So, today I was out and enjoying myself.. I decided to stay the few extra minutes and drive home a little faster.
I got in my car and turned the music up. I was singing and almost dancing as I was speeding my way home.
I know that guys in Egypt like girls who drive fast. I guess loud music and cigarettes does it for them also. As I drove home I had 2 cars following me. I try to just ignore these assholes when they do that.. but today they actually followed me to my house.. and parked their car behind me when I parked.
Luckily, I found the security guard in front of the building and asked him to deal with them because they were following me....
The guys did not like the fact that I ignored them and went in. So, like any respectable gentleman would do, they started calling me names. Basically I was a tease and some other things I am thankful that I did not understand.
Their theory is that I wanted them to follow me and that is why I was driving fast. They said I was "sha2aiya" and was trying to get their attention.
My theory is that they are freakin idiots! I think if I really wanted to get to know them I actually would have stopped and chatted. The fact that I was running away meant nothing. The fact that I was completely ignoring them meant that I was trying to get their attention!
The security guard was passive enough to give me the feeling that he agreed.
When I came up to bitch about this incident to my family they informed me that men in the street are justified for thinking that I am a whore and want them to follow me home because I was out after 12!!!!!!!!!
I am in shock because of the realization that my family is just as backward as a lot of the Egyptian population.
I am in shock because consensus is that I am a whore because I drive fast!
(A guy friend of mine explained that Egyptian men think that girls who drive fast learned how to drive that way because they spend a lot of time with guys which means they are whores)
So, I am just wondering if the problem is Egyptian guys or if all men are this fucking stupid?!?!?!
So.. congratulate me everybody... I drive fast, I listen to music, and OMIGOD I ignore men..
Obviously.....I am a whore!!

Oh well, I just have to say that the lack of comments here doesn't have to mean that people actually agree on that. :P
No no seriously.. some girls drive fast and some don't. It doesn't have to do with them hanging out with guys or with them being whores or whatever. But staying out late is not only a girl thing, but also a guy thing. If the streets are filled with idiots then why provoke them? And let's face it, we used to fool ourselves in our teenage years that we can start an outing at around 10 and stay out until say 2 am or whatever and call that being cooler. The truth of the matter is, in my personal opinion, smarter people always got back home earlier, got enough sleep, and rose up in the morning with their heads not still filled with trashy comments from last night.
Bottom line I think... Guys shouldn't stay out late either, but when they do, if they pass by a couple idiots on the street, the chance they're gonna get bothered are by far less than that of women.
Sorry for the long comment, but the post looked lonely. ;)
I do not agree.. I think it does not matter.. or should not matter when I get home. I think that we should just stop labelling people.
I think that maybe we should get the idoits off of the streets so that normal people can live their lives...
