Middle Line Idiots

You might have heard of border line personalities, but in Kuwait we have a great collection of gifted Middle Line Personalities AKA Middle Line Idiots who never stop to amaze you with their antics.

What am I talking about? Well to clarify my point better let me take you for a ride along the Gulf Road.

How many times have you come across those insane, frustrating drivers that tend to take the middle lane, driving creepily, dragging along in their fancy cars [not always], sipping on sodas, smoking, and talking on the phone simultaneously, completely oblivious to world around them.

Then there are others who tend to slow down in parallel with a car driving along with girls in them, thinking that the road is their inherited property and they are sailing in boats not driving in cars, where the nature slows them!

And again there are more of those ladies who consider driving in the middle lane, just so they feel safe, because their rear-view mirrors are tilted to show madam how beautiful they look while driving, and then adjust makeup with every passing minute. Yep welcome to the world of Middle Line Idiots.

Every time these I come across these idiots, a thought crosses my mind to honk the car horn, so as to tell them that ‘Hello there is a third lane too!’, but doing so is calling trouble onto oneself. These idiots would raise their arms, show fingerfull gestures, shout obscenities, and likely cut your lane ahead of you and brake constantly expecting you to hit them in back.

If only I had one of those vaporising guns, I would so gladly vaporize their wheels…damn these Middle Line Idiots!

How to spot Middle Line Idiots:

  • They drive at 40 Km/h and are in Middle Lane [possibilities are they don’t know how to drive or are high on booze or lady driver who feels its safest to drive in the middle while doing some quickie makeup]
  • You spot a tilted head of the driver driving in front of you [the sucker is on phone and not even an explosion on his rear-side would distract him/her]
  • Couple of guys driving parallel to a car [just cut to the free lane and drive along]
  • A big 8 passenger van with shaded windows [The idiot driver taking driving directions from bigger back seat idiotic drivers]
  • A sparkling Limo [’Just Married’ gives them the right to cruise in the middle lane at snails pace]

MINI Clubman incorporates a rather ingenious door configuration on the right side of the car. The “Clubdoor” swings open in the opposing direction relative to the main passenger door to dramatically increase the access to the rear seating area. Behind the front seats, the new MINI Clubman offers remarkable rear seating comfort and flexible use of space. Rear seat passengers now enjoy 3.15 inches more legroom compared to the MINI hardtop.
The MINI Clubman also stands out, retaining all the handling and performance characteristics that one expects in a MINI. With its design, functionality and performance characteristics, the MINI Clubman is the modern successor to the legendary classics Morris Mini Traveller, Austin Mini Countryman, and Mini Clubman Estate.

Debut with three engine variants.
At its international launch, the MINI Clubman will be available with three engine variants:
* Powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder with twin-scroll turbocharger, direct gasoline injection and maximum output of 175 hp at an engine speed of 5,500 rpm, the MINI Cooper S Clubman offers the highest level of performance.
* The MINI Cooper Clubman, benefiting from its 1.6-litre four-cylinder developing 120 hp at 6,600 rpm and featuring fully variable valve management, offers impressive performance and economy.
* The MINI Cooper D Clubman with its efficient, high-torque and low-emission Diesel power plant will be available in European markets. However, there are currently no plans for the US market to offer the MINI Clubman D.

..not exactly what they advertise, especially when its over priced at KD 1.500/-. This is KFC Fish Zinger, and you can check the amount of tartar sauce they ’spit’. Also the drink that goes with it is ‘half’ ice, and half the drink. Next time you go there as for drink without ice, and ice separate if you like ice.
