the last part of people I can relate to. I know a lot of this types - as I have met them, some of them was "used to" be friends of mine. it is also pointless to tell them to change even a fraction of mindset to this types, as they are really desperate on saving money. so much as they even try several times to hitch a ride so as to save taxi or transport money (in a daily basis!) I have no issues with them taking a ride, but for this types always asking for small change for some reason, is quite appalling.
@WT - yes u said u have been in Qatar for 21 yrs, that really amazes me u have not seen some EXPATS (not Qataris) behave as per above example. probably, most of your friends are Qataris? well Qataris are different case, most of them are very generous and will even get out of their way just to help others in need. that I will agree with you.
