quickly,quickly.....
By shoeaddict •
i cannot just for the life of me,imagine how people get really impatient here in this place and say the phrase "quickly,quickly!!!".
grocery line in al-meera,the woman queing infront of me asked the cashier to tally her purchases "quickly,quickly!!!".
in the shop i work for,from a customer to a customer,they would knock on the fitting rooms and say "quickly,quickly!!!.
quickly,quickly, quickly !!!is it chronic or congenital?why is the phrase so common in use?
i just need an opinion from you guys-QUICKLY,,,QUICKLY!!!
you know what they say; "treat your enemies (in this case: the quickie folks)with kindness..." lol
j,adore the smiling to piss her off.i cant do that when im working.imagine,as she hands over her fabric she tells me to do her a design sketch quickly,quckly!!!
without the magic word "please".
sometimes,just to give her a dose of her own medicine,i often tell them that im not a happy meal from mcdonalds,that in three minutes time i can come up with a burger with a free toy(i say that in arabic of course)
Sometimes, these "quickly, quickly" folks thinks they can do what they want just because they wear the local garbs (not all of them, though).
It happens to me one time at carrefoor, city center...I just looked at the woman and pointed to her the next cashier lane. She looked at me, I looked at her back and she said something in Arabic...so i smiled (to piss her off). She went to the other lane coz she and I knows I'm not giving in....lol
all think that they are the only ones who are really busy and need things done quickly so they can do whatever ...
all think they are the only ones suffering the bad traffic jams and late from work, so they keep honking their horns and almost kiss your car to make you move quickly ...
some people can't wait, can't be polite or have some patience to wait for the others until they are done.
Instead, they will make the others hate them, maybe get insulted or put in an embarrassing situation if the other party is willing to fight back and in the same time ... wishing for the quickly quickly thing but were successful in hiding that ...
Quickly quickly no more ... just ignore and someone for sure will quickly take care of that quickly-quickly person ...
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)
everyone just seems to always be in a rush... what else would explain them beeping at corner shop attendents and not going into the store themselves? Not to mention how everyone drives it is like they are 3 years late for something...
I think the favourite sayings are quickly quickly or wait wait!!!! screamed of course
LoL brite....
Wondering why they stand over there n shout "Quickry Quickry " ?? is to for the passer by ?
Quicky quickry come before the stock is over....:)
It must be local term.. Even the China Doll at teh Ramada kept shouting "Quickry Quickry" ..
bet that's the only english word known to them... :/
yawn... if someone will tell "quickly" to my face today, will look at them intently and say.."shove it!"... :P

Rizks, pass those Hob-Nobs here quickly, quickly!!!! :P
quickly quickly i had my Hob-Nobs and TEA ...:)
LOL when someone tells me quickly quickly, i move all the more slower... :P
if some one tells u quickly quickly tel him shwaia shwaia
just counter the "quickly quickly" with "shway shway" which is sort of a "take it easy"...i'd give you the offensive arabic but i'm actually kinda worried you'd use it and land yourself in trouble...sorry, can't have anything to do with that!
Ooooo i would like to know some offensive Arabic, need to level up my street fighting skills.
and that quickly quickly!!! goes without "please"...
forget about chill...i'll teach you some really effective arabic words...might get you ina bit of trouble though haha
Good point, i have no idea lol.
what's chill in arabic?
Tell them to Chiiiiiiiiiiiill.
