Qataries are soooo Helpful...A Big Thank You!

I wouldn't be in my workplace this afternoon if not for
the help of the two Qataries who helped me change my car tire when it blewed out on my way home along the way past Education City.

I was driving slowly but helplessly, flashing the emergency lights, trying to get home with my daughter and my son at one o'clock pm. I know it will make the situation worse if I drive with the tire but I had to bring my kids home and to get to work on time.

Then suddenly a car signaled and told me to stop on the side. So I pulled over and he told me he is going to change my tire. He is in a purple military uniform. He was so quick because he really knew what he was doing and where the tools are located. After few minutes, another car stops, a cruiser and without hesitation, the driver just gave a hand to the first man not minding his white thoub might get dirty. Another two Qataries in Landcruisers stopped and offered to help. It didn't take more than 15 minutes and we were back to road.

I was really surprised, that with so many cars passing by, yet only Qataries just came to offer help.

Even the police here in Qatar are helpfull when they found you on the street fixing your wheel. That's one of the good thing here in Qatar.

if you don't want to rely next time on someone stopping you can also just call Raha they are an Auto Assistance company that you can call and they come and fix your car on the spot. they work like AA in Uk and ADAC in germany. It is really nice to see something so professionally set up here and I signed up immediately. Having said that it is nice to know that there is still nice people out there Qatari or not.

I remember when i was a kid my Mom forgot her purse over our car top. And when she came back from the shop she didnt even notice the purse again. We drove the car and the purse eventually fell down. Some Qataris noticed the thing and took the purse, me after our car flashing lights and signaling to stop, my Dad was kinda shocked as in what has happened they then overtaked us and stopped our car, came to us and told my Dad that ur Wife has forgotten her purse, on checking the purse was all safe along with the money =D

Well, helping a woman is a gentle act. I hope i get the chance of helping one also. But since most of them are driving better and newer cars than mine, they do not require such help from me. I drive sometimes my gfs car. She got 2008 model. Women I neeeeeeed heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp LOL

PM, thanks, I read his posts about the Muslim "race".

samer, we expect a man to be able to change his own tires, so unless we feel he's struggling, many won't stop (but some may stop).

We wouldn't want a lady to do it herself, even if she can.

This is the last time im going to explain this to you because u seem retarded im going to explain it as i would a 5 year old:

"Night, night, sleep tight, dont let the bed bugs bite"

is a cute way of saying goodnight to children.

Now, Mr Gupta was acting like a child by the way he put his views across by calling us all dickless and by saying because he is Indian no Qatari would help him.

You following?

Ok now i said dont let the Qatari's bite instead of bugs because he obviouslt has something against Qataris which he has a right to if he chooses...

Its called "A JOKE" the whole thread if u read it is about a nice lady who got stuck and some Qatari's helped her out.

Are we on the same page...

Now why we are all pissed is not because of his opinion its thw way he said it and the words he used...

Ok im done.

P.S what does my profession have to do with anything..please grow up.

That is proven mariam. I agree with you. Everytime we cross to the other side of street with my 2 children qataris are always the one who stop and give us way. They even give a sign to other cars who attempt to go and not give us a chance to cross. It happen to us many times. And there are times that they will smile at you. Maybe its means hi. Salute to qataris.

I was just thankful and amazed, after alot of comments to Qataries driving landcruisers, they have a good heart behind...

This is part of the Qatari education. When you see a person & specially a woman in need of help, breakdown, they will stop & help. This is the rule of the desert.

Fortunately I have had the same experience with Qataries helping me out whenever I had car trouble.
