What are some real life examples of chutzpah?
Scene : Lecture hall of an engineering
college. Professor is busy bambling his lesson for the day. 2 ladies are
sitting in the first row. One(Lady 1) is intently listening to the lecture
while the other one(Lady 2) is in a deep slumber.
Professor to Lady 1 (in an irritated voice): Excuse me Ma'am. Can
you please wake up your friend and ask her to leave the class ?
Lady 1 (in a terrified voice with terrified expressions) : Yess ss..sirr
.
Lady 1 poking and pushing asleep Lady2 : Oye uth..uth uth ! (Wake up
wake up wake up madam !)
Professor is furious . Other 100 students watching the scene with pin drop
silence, wondering as to what will happen with the sleeping lady.
Lady 2 wakes up with a shock. She is terrified, almost in tears. And then
big drops of tears, one by one , splash on the table. She calms down in a
minute.
Professor is angry but thinks that the girl is feeling sorry for her
action(or rather no action).
Professor in a stern tone : AAhem..Do you want to say
something girl ?
He is expecting a sorry in reply but..
Lady 2(Terrified and sentimental) :Excuse me sir, I just saw a
nightmare..sob sob..it was really terrifying..sob sob..please allow me to leave
the class.
And she rushes out of the hall, unable to control herself.
Professor speechless. Other students clapping in their minds for the
chutzpah they just saw.
