Inconsiderate parents

No, he is NOT cute!

Don’t you hate it when parents do nothing about their noisy, irritating annoying kids in public places?

Thanks to the mummy who let her kids ruin my morning coffee! :s

double parking

No. It’s not ok!

And no, it does not make it ok if you leave a note with your mobile number on the front dashboard.

public restrooms

I don’t understand why there is always pee all over the toilet seat, floor and walls in public & office toilets?

Curious to know what the hell they do in there! And whether they do the same at home?

marketing/advertising buzzwords

Why do people use them? Do they think that using words like these makes them sound smarter?

And what’s up with these overused words like “holistic”, “at the end of the day”, “engagement”, “deep dive”, “integration” and my favorite: “let’s go digital”. Every time I hear “let’s go digital” the 80’s hit song “let’s go physical” starts playing in my head and it won’t stop! (can’t help it!)

people who say we don’t like living in Dubai and yet are still here

Why do people keep saying that and keep complaining about everything? And yet they are still in Dubai. Who is forcing them to be here? If they don’t like it, just leave. It's that simple.

And the funny part (or sad actually) is that most of the people who complain are the ones who have been living here for a while (5 -10 years, if not more). That means they’ve been living unhappy and unfulfilled for years and not doing anything about it except complaining. Sad.

Or is the “I don’t like it here” is just a cool thing to say? Or is it just an “excuse” to blame their unhappiness on the place rather than on themselves for their own personal disappointments, laziness and lack of accomplishments in life?
