Attitude that hurt me....

Hi !

I am here in qatar fr the past 4 years and i have never seen such a bad attitude from females ...i am really shocked and also have no words to explain the way they behaved and disrespected

The incident took place in carrefour yesterday when we were trying to park our vehicle.we were searching for more than 30 mts as u guys know it is friday and not so easy to get parking in carrefour.Finalyy we found a place and we were waiting for the qatari lady to take the car as she has to keep all the stuff and also make her children sit .. meanwhile we had a car at the back and there was enough space for otehr vehicles to pass through, but the lady on the back side with 2 young girls started horning , wheer we turned back and said we are going to park here, but she kept on horning .we just didnt open our mouth and waited for the other lady to move.atlast when we were to park our car the lady behind parked the car and all the girls opend the window and said we dont have sense and shut our mouth or otherwise we will slap you in sign. we asked them what they keep on showing the sign by keeping their finger in the mouth otherwise they will hit us?

Let me ask u guys....whats the respect for the expatriates ? ok fine they dont need to give respect atleast consider human beings.. the final thing is like she didnt even parked the car there,but instead wantedly kept the car until we move from that lane and then she left the parking lot....

This incident was really hurting....still now its piercing my heart..as i dont think its fair....

This is the first time i have seen women doing like this in my 4 years of stay....

Well... wait wait wait.... I'm sorry to say that, but some people -sometimes- really exagerate. They see someone is just coming out of the supermarket, and having plenty of plastic bags( meaning, she/ he's going to spend a while offloading the things in his car). Then , they stopped waiting for him to get out of the parking space ????? What about the long line of cars waiting backside ???? I mean, one should afford 1/2/even 4 minutes waiting , but not a quarter of an hour.

In case I misunderstood what you narrated plz don't be offended.

lol...Friendraj....would love to witness that....:p

I always get out of my car and approach the culprit...not sure why but I've always managed to resolve parking lot issues. Best thing to do (and I know its hard) is to keep your cool and talk in a diplomatic way...works for me!!

a lady inside city centre... I had been waiting for a parking for about 20 min.. Generally, i find an area to wait and I sit it out till someone moves... Anyway, finally my patience had paid off, and a car was coming out.. .but a lady coming from the otherside decided it was going to be her parking... so she moved herself into such a position that the car could not come out of the parking and no one else could take it...

I was gesturing to her that it was my parking, but she was just glaring at me... She then realises that she is in the way, drives past me, shouting at me and before I can do anything, a man takes the place that I was waiting for.... he had the cheek to laugh at me when I told him that was my parking...

What to do?

Seriously girl, cool down...Chupa Rustom was making fun of FriendRaj's English...not yours...

Its very fair for you to get annoyed, and very fair for you to post it here as well...as mentioned, we all know that it is sometimes tough in Qatar...but then, we all are humans, and we all here away from our homeland for making Life, so don't worry about these things, concentrate on your main aim of being away from your OWN Country...

Take it easy, have a coffee, and chill, seriously, Don't bother about these things, move on...

Now come on Pavithra, smile on...

Cheers...

women face constant harrassment ..and from groups of men which is very very initmidating........

you may have been offended by this rude behaviour and I dont blame u but it isn't as physically threatening as men harrassing women.

but if we complain we are called racist or 'making a fuss'.

Anyway there are loads of men here who pay very good money for, 'backside horning' that was really funny. LOL sorry.

I hate that. Some very rude people out there. If it was me, I'd whip out my mobile phone, take a video of them and say loudly. If you insult me anymore I'll show this to the police.

What does their being female have anything to do with? Men here do it to.
