THEIR CUSTOMS, AND WE MUST RESPECT THEMA video has sparked controversy in Pakistan, showing the assistant commissioner of Sadiqabad leading a crackdown on illegal parking. The footage captures him and his team puncturing the tires of motorcycles and cars parked in violation of traffic rules. The online backlash was swift, with many calling the action excessive and unfair, particularly for low-income motorists.
But before we get outraged, we should ask ourselves: is it really that different from what happens in the West? Here, they don’t slash your tires, but they fine you—and if you’re unlucky, they tow your car away, leaving you stranded and forcing you to pay to get it back. In many cases, the total cost of that ordeal can be even higher than fixing a punctured tire.

The slow-motion moment of the day.
BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIMESometimes, life changes in an instant, and you don’t even realize how it happened. You haven’t done anything, you haven’t made any risky choices, you haven’t crossed any lines… yet there you are, caught in a situation that has nothing to do with you, simply because fate decided to play a cruel joke on you.
It could be a misunderstanding, a ridiculous coincidence, or just a simple perception error—but when it happens, it happens. And the worst part? No matter how much you try to explain yourself, sometimes no one is willing to listen.
The truth is, anyone can find themselves caught up in something that isn’t theirs. And when that happens, all you can do is hope that those in control of the moment can see beyond appearances. Because being in the wrong place can happen in seconds, but getting out of it might take much longer.
