I left my friend’s apartment a while ago heading home, but decided to pass by Quality Market to get something. Passing by the Saudi Embassy, where Lebanese Internal Forces had set up a checkpoint, a police officer stopped me after I passed the checkpoint, so I had to reverse 50 meters to see what he wants.
As usual, he had nothing to say:
Me: You wanted something?
Him: No the license plate
Me: a…
Him: (he interrupts) Yeah you’re a tourist
Me: No, I study here!
Him: Okay “allah ma3ak” (take care)
Me: Did you want something? Were you calling me?
Him: Yeah okay, nothing, “7abeebi”
Me: ?!!!! ‘Okay!’
I drove to the mini-market, got my stuff, turned around heading back home when ANOTHER officer stopped me! This time he had a purpose at least. He wanted a jump-start cable because the battery of the brand new police car had gone dead.
I’m not being sarcastic! Recently the police force introduced Ford Explorer police cars that keep their flashers on all day long while cruising around Beirut. No wonder the battery was dead. Grazie!
