    I was stuck in a traffic jam this afternoon, feeling down and upset...... then

    jam

    The traffic jam went under a bridge. And we were moving very slow

    I'm talking about a serious traffic Jam, cars packed bumper to stinky, exhaust gassy bumper... and moving at 10 inches a hour

    A lady started honking. Then a truck, then a little car on my side, then I too started honking. It was like a Jordanian wedding in Amman, everyone blowing their horns, childishly. Making all sort of noise with the monotonous sound of their horns and suddenly....

    Everyone started laughing. I was in tears. The car next to me had a hispanic guy who was half way out side of the window laughing his lungs out .. I look in the mirror, and the lady behind me was laughing so hard. Everyone under that bridge had absolutely no reason to laugh... but we all did

    It's just amazing how tiny little things like that might bring laughter and joy to your hectic day, and as we left the tunnel, everyone was flashing their teeth to everyone else

    Oh I wish I could see that at a traffic light in Amman, without seeing everyone almost getting their blades out and threatening to cut your eyes off for smiling ... or looking in their direction

    Next time you're in a traffic jam ... remember to smile

    funny smile

    i wish my husband was there too, he hates traffic jams and red lights and keeps talking to them.. yalla efta7y.. ekhlasy zahha2teeny.. ya malal.. et7arrako ba2aaaaaa!!
    somehow i got used on that and started to laugh on it!!
    regards Q..
    كنت أتمنى أكون فى هذه الإشارة اللذيذة

    غالبآ إشارة المرور تصيبنى بإحباط

    لكن بعد قراءة هذا المقال أكيد الإشارة هايكون لها تأثير مختلف .
    Well let’s see, I always try teasing little kids by doing faces :), but all in all traffic in Jordan is an experience.... a bad 1!

    Have fun!
    haha walla yareet to smile while driving ...here we just start cursing!!
    TheCaller, Thank you 7ajjeh :) I'm glad you laughed
    7ala, yeah, I wish it was in Amman, bidoon darb mwas :)
    Rasha, :) I'm glad it did
    LoudSilence, I love your name :), yes, that's a well known trick the cab drivers use so that you would be affraid and pay them extra
    Eno, Ahlan wa sahlan, long time no see. Nawwarti. I wish your husband was here too, he would have had a good laugh and went home to you 3alashan tnakdi 3alaih :)
    ايمان: كان نفق يا ايمان و ما كان في اشارة بس الاختناق المروري كان كأنك واقفة على اشارة... يا ريت الكل كان معي... عند كل اشارة... اذكريني -فوزية رأفت ـ
    Laith, YEAH ... I love doing that too, until thier father pays attention and frowns at me. Or waives the Moos Qarn El Ghazal :)
    Arab Lady, Ya ahla oo sahla. The worst place for drivers is Jordan. Seriously people have forgot how to smile there.

    Q - nice post the best things are things that give us an unexpected laugh ... I like the pic I bet any one from Jordan would not believe that this is a traffic jam ....for us the cars should be all over each other no safe distance  for us,  we like things up close and personal : )
    Hehehehe .. right :) ..its those little things that sometimes provide a little escape for the pressure of the day or situation .. just like when you are driving the car in the jammed streets of Amman , and everybody is barely moving one meter a head .. that's when you'd be in the defensive mood and wearing that tough look saying " NO ONE WILL INTRUDE MY CAR SPACE.. no intruders are allowed to come in front of me , especially taxies " and then someone would pope in from a side road , looking at you with a smiley face , cupping their chin with their fingers in a begging gesture to let them in .. It happened with me several times .. i personally would start laughing and let them go in .. after all .. i am already late , another 5 sec. wont make any difference :)
    وزيـــــــــة رأفـــــــــت

    عفــوآ أنا كنت أخر واحدة فى  صفــــــــوف  السيارات  وما شفت الحادثـــــــــة كويس .
    حادثة رهيبة

    اما الفني إسمايل لووووول خطيرة ومضحكة

    شكرا ً لك
