Something insanely embarrassing happened yesterday. Rather, I was the cause of something really awkward. The story involves a few names though and I don't want to mention them. However I really reallllyyy feel like writing about this, so instead let me share a story from last year.
This one day I reached the Daewoo bus station in a hurry. I jumped out of the car asking my friend to park while I get the tickets. I didn't have any prior booking and it was a weekend. I raced into the building, screeching to a halt in-front of the counter. I had about four or five people in-front of me waiting to get the chance token. I don't remember exactly why but I needed to leave as soon as possible. I excused myself over to the cashier. Trying to catch my breath, with a dry throat I asked him
"When will the first bus leave for Lahore"
"It wont", he said, smiling.
"How can this be possible, your buses leave every hour. Which one can I get a seat in"
"You cant sir"
"I don't understand what you mean. I need to leave right now. I need a ticket".
I could see my friend coming with my bag on his shoulder, twenty odd feet away. A small crowd had gathered around me, I realized that my voice had risen. Some seemed surprised while the rest had smirks on their faces. I turned back to the counter, calmed myself down.
Speaking slowly, i said, "Sir, i need to know when the first bus will leave for Lahore. I need a ticket."
"Sir we don't travel to Lahore from this station"
"WHAT? WHY?"
"Because sir you are standing in Lahore".
And you can imagine the rest :D
