My eyes widened in dismay as I stood there, frozen in shock. The car screeched to a halt a few feet ahead. I strutted right up to that car, tapped on the window, and said, "Excuse me." The window whirred down, revealing a man in his early 30s stepping out. "How much?" he asked, eyeing my dress. I was taken aback, "What??" "How much for your dress?" he repeated. I couldn't believe the audacity, "sach mein, uncle, kya aap paagal ho gae hain? aapane abhee-abhee meree dress kharaab kee hai, aur ab aap apane paise dikha rahe hain?" Unbelievable! "Uncle?? Hey you kid, uncle kise kah rahe ho, aur tumhaaree dres ke baare mein, main pahale se hee tumhen paise de raha hoon, bas ise le lo aur chale jao," he said arrogantly, acting like such a jerk. "mujhe aapake paiso kee jaroorat nahin hai," you firmly declared. The stares from everyone around us made the situation even more awkward. "What do you want then, a branded dress! Fine, I will buy you one," he arrogantly exclaimed. Jesus, for God's sake, how can someone be this arrogant? The nerve of some people is truly beyond belief!
