Is car blocking black cars the new trend? Apparently it is, because after the infamous Causeway license-plate-plucking incident, another copycat comes fast on its heels!

This time, in the heart of one of the seediest neighbourhoods in Singapore, and in broad daylight!  You can watch the video here:

Fuyoh, Mercedes Vs Woman

Wow, what could have possibly possessed her to do that? She should have known that it is quite frowned upon (in general) to try to block moving vehicles. It is also quite dangerous anyway.

We investigated and apparently the series of events went like this:

She jabbed her finger right into his face. Definitely very confrontational.

The woman was also seen striding off momentarily to confer with a woman of smaller stature, but it is unsure to us the nature of their discussion.

The driver seems to want no part of this, and at some point, gets fed up and tries to brush her off. He then got into his car.

It doesn't stop there!

Undeterred, the woman planted herself in front of the car, thinking that it would stop him.

Unfortunately and expectedly, it did not.

Some fun facts; we did some research and the brake horsepower of the vehicle (which we found to be a Mercedes Benz C180 Kompressor A) turned out to be:

The brake horsepower of a human, or the woman would equate to:

840486424_Screenshot2022-08-10151035.png.cf2979fe86134a0c1c599c1e97d7d4f3.png

The car is exerting over a 150 times of the brake horsepower she has! Well, she's definitely very plucky for trying, we will give her that...

Eventually, the force of the impending car proved too great for her and she was pushed to the side, where she raised her arms in a show of protest, before slinking away.

The public opinion was ruthless.

As soon as the video made its rounds on the internet, there was an outpouring of comments. Naturally, there came the expected comparisons to a certain carplate-ripping incident:

Well, they are quite similar!

a3.png.206bb7876328c5b56a39585e1197a7b7.png

Safe, indeed.

a4.png.f72a715525145a0ddb274945578b22a1.png

Haha!

a5.png.5d8b21690ddcf4dcfea3be31554211b0.png

Well, the females at MyCarForum would beg to differ, OK!

Just as well, there were more reasonable comments:

a2.png.9b80ada953ab9c26cbe321de83d78f2d.png

Whereas this person provided a very good joke about the possible circumstances regarding this situation...

Oh my!

Moral of the story

If anything is to be taken away from this incident, it is that you should never be deliberately using your body to block the path of a moving vehicle. It could get you injured, or even worse... Have your pictures plastered over the online walls of shame.

We'll be eagerly awaiting the backstory of this car-blocking lady, however.

Another investigation will be going on, I wonder if I will get into such situation. But if it were me, I will just let the car there and walk away. Haha

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok

    Singapore weather: Rainy or sunny, what’s healthier for you?

    Singapore can be that predictably unpredictable equatorial city, where the skies shift from radiant sunshine to torrential downpour in mere moments. Given how things have been the past few weeks, I’ve subconsciously found myself pondering the impact of this mercurial weather on our health. What does the internet say: Is it the sun-drenched days that truly invigorate us, or do the rhythmic rains offer a more profound rejuvenation? In a city where the climate dances between these two ext

    The enduring charm of Singapore wet markets

    I know I’m idealising it all - as a not-so-young millennial that can’t remember the last time he cooked a full meal for himself. (That was probably a good two years ago.) But moving on slightly from morning walks now, the space I’ve found myself frequenting when I feel like I need a break from the routines of everyday life (or to simply clear my head) isn’t the park. It’s the basement level of Punggol Plaza. That a wet market even exists here should be surprising. Punggol, after all, is qui
