Pet Peeves of the Day
Ok, Sometimes you just need to beeatch about those annoying little things, so here goes, My list of Pet Peeves for the last week (please feel free to add your own)
1) People who put their toddler (and only their toddler) in shopping carts and then get on the elevator at City Center, therefore making it impossible for people with actual carts full of things to get on! I was at City Center the other day with a cart load of things and I had to wait 20 minutes to get the elevator because not once, not twice, but thrice! Did the door open to reveal Mommy and Daddy with tyke in shopping cart and nothing else in the f-ing shopping cart. People your children have legs and shopping carts aren't strollers!
2) Rana on QBS. STOP TALKING OVER YOUR F-ING SONGS YOU MUPPET!
3) Q-Tel blocking HEALTH site. I just did a google on teen pregnancy and pregnancy in general, and I've done them before on other health issues and the sites have been blocked! Look Q-Tel and the God's of censorship, like it or not a vagina needs to be discussed and displayed when talking about pregnancy! Stop making people live in ignorance!!!
Argh, ok, that rant is over.
i find it strange when a lot of really expensive (and not very expensive) car drivers in Doha do not remove plastic covers from the sits...i find it really bizarre... if you can afford a brand new car to buy, why should you suffer from the sweating bum or back or neck? unless i misunderstand the purpose!
Nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.
Yep Gypo - you are one of the few exceptions that prooves my belief.....
Celine dionne should be handed over to taleban with immediate effect and be put in a burka....
grrrrrrrr
anyone who spits should be punched and made to clean it up.
Ah soh.. one more thing about beautiful dreamers...
Those that dream while crossing the traffic lights, taking their own sweeeet time... that the lights start blinking and then goes red for the car behind!! @#*&&!!!
/Memories of oldie My Fair Lady and Audrey Hepburn's classic line "Move yer bloomin' a**e"
*****************************************
Life is short. Live it to the fullest!
There is some sort of disease at QBS where someone has sat all the on-air presenters down and said:
"Talk over the beginning of all the songs. The listeners want to hear your voice, not the music."
And as if it isn't bad enough that they talk over the song, but that they do it in 10 or 20 short phrases. I can't stand it, it's so damn offputting the way they play the song at full volume for 1 second, and then drop the levels down to nothing to say something stupid like "...this is a song..." and then raise the levels up and back down again "...by the new artist..." and then up, and then down "...whose name is..." and then up, and then down "....The Jonas..." up, down, "...Brothers..." etc etc.
If they really feel the need to say all that crap, do so BEFORE YOU PLAY THE SONG, IDIOTS...
This is why I only listen to my iPod in the car.
SAMAEL said - 1)Eh, there are signs that say no shopping trollies in the elevators... *cough*"
Eerr.. hmmm.... that's why there are travelators at City Centre from the Home Centre Floor (I think) and Carrefour Floor for the bulky items to to wheeled to the car.
... But what the heck! That's what lifts are for ... and certainly not for tykes in empty shopping carts!
/Pet peeves - people at escalators who stop to think, before getting on or after getting off ... SNOROM!! Think with your a$$ out of the way. I love it when they dream after getting off the escalator, cos the next person automatically HAS to give them an elbow.

oh and I forgot smells..
I know Qatar is hot but please invest in a good deodarant. Especially if your a limo/taxi driver.
Try to eat less spice in your foods
Don't spit.. (bad enough we don't have any paan wallas out here cuz all the indians used to spit on the houses and walls in Qatar.)
And damn it.. I like my paan.
Anytime Princess and I will take pleasure at it.Women pay less insurance in the UK because they have less accidents. And that's a fact.
By the way,he must be one of the many men that I have given way to and have over taken.I also agree with everyone that are piss off with people that don't make their children wear seat belts.
looks like that beetch falls out the stupid tree everyday and hits her head on all branches the way down... she can't stop with her (i feel) "American Pie - you know in band camp" accent... this morning i so wanted to hear the start of cloud nbr 9 - bryan adams and the phucktard keeps jabbering her azz off for almost 1/4 of the song... argghhh!!!
besides that the roads near my house behind shoprite... damn! every 100mtrs they have it dug up and not filled in well..
LMAO Princess... especially those ladies who drivesssss sssoooo sslllooowwww.
Cheers

you are damn right alexa.
chaud
is the reason and perhaps the only reason I now have an i-pod w/ docking station in my car. I just couldn't take Rana and her mispronounciations. someone should start to write them all down and publish a book awith them listed. It would be pretty funny. Or tape her and turn the tape into the David Letterman show or something.
Some one is in a bad mood bad bad mood.
My in-car navigation system here in Doha. It's a good thing I don't carry a gun. The temptation is overwhelming to put a bullet through its non-existent brain.

i hate most:
1. morons who use road shoulders as their own lane.
2. idiots who drive with their children in the front sets without seatbelts or sitting on their laps.
3. morons who do not know how to use the signal when turning to either side of the road.
4. female DJs of QBS especially rana (how many votes does she have now?)
5. foul-smelling morons who refuse to take a bath before going to work.
6. morons wearing p________who have no traffic discipline (flashing headlights)
1. Having to stay at work all day when I have nothing to do.
2. Not being able to browse the internet freely coz I'm being watched.
3. Curfews.
Baldricks, you have to put him in a shopping trolley in city center with a portable radio, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and let him ride up in down on the lift all day

Men who hate women drivers...!wanna have a race?
I have to agree with Gypsy! Every time I hear Rana on the radio, I get a little annoyed. Last time I had to turn off the radio because she kept saying: creditentials instead of credentials (or is creditentials a word?)
Another pet peeve is having a radio cassette player in my car! I bought my car beginning of this year and am amazed that they don't put a cd player in standard! Which country in the world still has a cassette player!!! And I cannot find any cassettes with English speaking artists as well!!!
Wow, feel a lot better already!
people who cannot park properly - taking up two lanes or parking at an angle.... having said that, people who take my parking place at our apartment building... that bugs the living cr*p out of me. YOU KNOW I PARK THERE... I HAVE BEEN PARKING THERE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.....
"if you don't like the heat... get out of the kitchen... but stop trying to fan the flames before you leave... it will burn you on the a** as you go through the doorway...." ME

brit - see my earlier comment re: the interviews.
lol marhabtain, booze shop is only 5 minutes away from our house.... :P
1. people driving with their kids in the front seat, and WITHOUT safety belts....grrr....
2. people undecided whether to turn left or right and then ends up blocking your way and almost causing an accident....
i will think of some more...

Roaches
more roaches
And you guessed it, Roaches!
Yuck
people who can't understand english properly.. yet are hell bent on trying to make it look as if we are the ones with the communication problem
They are fake. Their off the wire and she does just tape her own voice over the questions. The girl can't pronounce ideal, do you think she can come up with her own questions.
I am very curious about the "interviews". They all sound very false to me. It seems as if she has taken the interviews given to someone else and "interjected" her own questions.
Any theories ??
1) My divorce lawyer......i must have picked the laziest Bahraini in the world.
2) Batelco......As bad as Qtel.
3) Its the weekend.....So this place will be heaving with GCC nationals cluttering up the bars and stopping us serious drinkers from practising our hobby.
4) The digging work outside my villa.......Starts at 0600 every day !
But despite this, Im a happy chappy.

We male drivers kick ass, i mean look how fast we can drive and take corners... we simply rule.
*ducks all the throwing knives*

Women drivers, Marhabtain? I see how wonderful the male drivers are...
Another peeve imported from another post ...
Can I get XXXXX food over there? Honestly, I wouldn't go to China and go searching out Hollands meat and potato pies! So what if you can't get it? Will it affect your decision to come here? "Sorry, Cambodia doesn't have Heinze ketchup so I won't go and visit Angkor Wat". Get real people!!!
GRRRR!!!!
Did you Google it first?

This morning she ran a station identification in the MIDDLE of a song. I mean HELLO, people are listening to the song. Complete and utter Muppet I tell you.
Brit - I can't remember the DJs name but I know what you mean! I heard one of these "interviews" on one of the few occasions I had QBS on. I'm guessing someone, somewhere interviews them and then the tapes get syndicated out across the world, where cack-handed DJs voice over the questions to make it sound like they did the interview.
They are so obviously fake that it would be better for them to just play the original interview and admit that there's no way in hell these people would ever have wasted their time doing an interview with QBS!
I hate when she starts talking shit during the songs. One day she was talking about how much she loves doing the dishes and how the foamy soap us theraputic. She drives me.

Brit Expat that's Rana! The worlds most irritating QBS DJ!
Another irritating thing with QBS- why do they play a commercial in the middle of a song and then come back and finish the song. Can't they wait one minute to finish the song then have the commerical?
Gypsy, take it easy and relax, no need to be angry about these things....have a nice day
PANDA
Agreed on all points... and I have to add this.
Queue jumpers, who when confronted say "OK, go ahead then" like they are doing you a favor by actually letting you go when it is your turn. Another one that gets me is "Oh, I didnt see yout there" I am 5'7 and not a small gal, hard to miss.
At least if you have the balls to jump line, own up to it when you are confronted. Pussys.

1. People who sit in the outside lane doing 110 in a 120 limit with no other vehicle in sight, then get upset when you pass them on the inside
2. People who can't park and take 2 spaces.
3. My office canteen who buy 'cheap' laban because they probaly save 1 riyal on a case of 24.
4. People who leave the photocopier set on 5 copies.
5. People who post here looking for prices. Go to the damned shop!!!
GRRRRR!
Did you Google it first?
2) Rana on QBS. STOP TALKING OVER YOUR F-ING SONGS YOU MUPPET!
True. I hate this bloody irritating crocroach :(
Ban Spoon Feeding not Me
I have to strongly agree with SAMAEL's #1. After overtaking me on the right hand side at about 150kph, I caught up to the driver at a red light and saw that he had his child SITTING ON HIS LAP whilst driving like an idiot! No common sense....
Never forget the things that really do matter...
People who rush into the elevator before you've had time to get out..
There's a lady on QBS who supposedly "interviews" famous artists on her show, but it all sounds very contrived.. any idea of her name ??
What an inane moron! he should try putting his brain into gear before he come on the radio. Proabably actually he doesnt have one. If Fadi is the QBS way of helping people start their day they should get rid of this TROLL
1)Eh, there are signs that say no shopping trollies in the elevators... *cough*
2) finally someone else on my page
3)Qtel accross the board.
Good stuff.
My number one thing that irritates and makes me agry is...
Parents who let their childeren jump around in the car, stand up in the car, not making sure their kid is in a seatbelt. I actually find it disgusting. These are people that would probably make sure they had bubble rap around a new vase and strap it down, but they won't protect their own flesh and blood. I am sorry but if you don't think your kids are priceless then you are pretty much scum in my eyes.
In a city where driving to the local shop is dangerous and you (well me) have about 2 near misses a day. The kids should be strapped up like a fricken mummy (the egyptian ones hehe).
MMMMWAAAARRRRRRRR*
2) People who walk out of an elevator, stop as soon as they get and look around scratch their head/butt and eventually move after 3 "excuse me"'s For crying out loud people... Take another 3 steps then get confused, it's easier for the people behind you... Also people who stand right infront of the elevator when waiting for it, "oh but ofcourse no one else will be getting off on this floor, so i will stand right infront of the door" *sigh*
3) Ants... they just irritate hell out of me... there is not enough pif paf in the city.
That will do me for now.
oooo tea is here.
