We get it. Sometimes school, work, or life in general is just so stressful that we go “no thoughts, head empty.” On the flip side, many of us find humor in even our worst sabaw moments.
We asked our readers to share their worst sabaw moments and here are some that made us LOL:
Minsan talaga nakakasabaw ang work at school
“Sabi ko sa email, ‘Have a nice weekend, everyone’ tapos Monday nun.” Jasmine E.
“I work at a local bookstore and I also love make-up. One time, a customer approached me and asked, ‘Saan po yung mga highlighter?’ and I answered ‘Sorry, sir, we don’t sell make-up.’” – Gelo A.
“Nung college, late na ko for class. Sabi ni ate guard, ‘ID.’ Crackers pinakita ko. Pinapasok pa rin ako ng building.” – Maron M.
“Yung ilang araw akong puyat dahil sa mga plates ko sa school, ininom ko ang tubig after ko ihalo ang watercolor brush ko para hugasan.” – @bulaklikpics
Syempre maraming sabaw commute and driving stories
“Nag-offer ako sa boss ko na sumabay sa kotse ko papuntang dinner galing sa office. After 20 minutes na paikot ikot sa parking lot, sabi ko ‘Ay, sorry. Di pala ako nagdala ng kotse today.’” – Rebecca L.
“May ka-date akong AFAM na tinanong sa akin which side of the road do you drive on sa Manila. Sabi ko, ‘Both sides because not all the roads are one way.’” – Rebecca L. again
“Nung bababa na ako ng jeep sabi ko, ‘Mama, ba-bye po.’” – Hannah S.
“I was riding a jeep. Naalala ko yung kwento nung student ko na na-hold up siya. Inabot ko yung bayad sa driver at sabi ko: “Holdap po.’” – Bryan G.
“Yung magbabayad ako sa jeep. Pero ang nasabi ko habang inaabot yung charger ay ‘Kuya, yung charger ko oh.’” – Angelica C.
“Sumakay ako ng taxi. Di naman ganun kalayo [kaya] nagulat ako na yung metro 95.5. Nakipagtalo ako sa driver, yun pala radio station yun.” – Rej M.
“Umuwi ako from office ko sa Ortigas, pumila sa MRT, sumakay at bumaba ulit kasi naalala ko may motor pala akong dala.” – @marlon2028
Happy birthday din
“I just woke up when I read a birthday greeting someone sent me. Nag-reply ako ‘Happy birthday din’ kahit di naman niya birthday.” – Shawn L.
Sino nga ba?!
“Tinanong ko sa mga tropa ko kung sino ba ang author ng The Diary of Anne Frank.” – Roi G.
Food is life
“Back in college, I used to rent a small apartment. Most of the time, puro instant ang kinakain ko at fried para mabilis lang lutuin. I was about to cook an egg for dinner, but when I cracked it, sa basurahan ko siya nilaglag.” – Cai P.
“Nag-grocery kami ng mama ko tapos hawak ko ang wallet ko. Nung magbabayad na kami sa counter at na-punch na ni cashier lahat, magbabayad na ako kaso nawala ang wallet ko. Di ko alam saan napunta so ikot ako nang ikot, lahat pinuntahan na namin. Ang wallet ko nakasingit pala sa kilikili ko.” – Jennifer R.
“Habit ko dati kumain ng candy after a meal. Merong time though after lunch, kinuha ko yung candy sa pocket ko. Binuksan. Then tinapon yung candy sa basurahan habang sinubo yung wrapper.” – JC J.
“After ordering food sa [fastfood restaurant], sabi ng cashier: ‘Ma’am, number niyo po.’ I responded: ‘0926…’ Si cashier naguluhan. Sabi niya, ‘Ma’am, number niyo po tawagin na lang kayo pag okay na food niyo.’” – @annechilatf
