What is it with people! I dont get it why they dont say thank you, giving the cold shoulder and shrugging someone off seems to be standard here and it pisses me off! I thank people on purpose, be it a doorman, sombody letting me into the lane, a CEO, anyone! Showing a little gratitude might go a long way.
I get the weirdest looks from people when I say thank you. And I always thank people that give me way when Im riding.
What gets on my nerves is when you give someone way or you open the door and they give you a dirty look. When I let this lady out in front she gave me a dirty look because she thinks I might want to harrass her, but still she didnt have to give me a dirty look. She wasnt something you would want to look at anyways, and she has more makeup then the layer of asphalt on the ground. And its always these women giving dirty looks, and if Im on my bike they are always giving me dirty looks thinking that Im going to lean over and hit on them or something, but still that doesnt mean they should be assholes to everyone just because of a few bad apples.
When in my bike gear I get some people who like it or some people who think that Im a punk, but I dont care really. One time I picked up a drink from starbucks and I was leaving to get back on my bike, and a young lady with her baby son were walking in so I opened the door and looked the other direction just because I didnt want her to give me a dirty look. She said “merci” which honestly surprised me since I wasnt expecting it, it made me happy. A thank you does have an affect, I walked back to my bike smiling because of one kind word. Even when old men say thank you to me for stopping and letting them stop it makes me feel good.
The ones that annoy me are the old ladies that cross the streets like they own them, and when you do stop they dont even thank you. They just give you dirty looks.
This is something that annoys me in Kuwait! Almost no one says thank you!
Today on my way back home from work this guy is sitting on a an exit that turns into my lane and decides to go, I had NO area to brake, none! I would have slammed right into him. I couldnt believe he pulled out since he didnt have any opening. I am really lucky that the guy on my left braked and gave me opening! I cut left and barely avoided him. I swerved around the car that was in front of me and managed to avoid a bad accident. I put the window down, and thanked him. He said he saw that the nut case behind me pulled out and I had no where to go. I was extremely grateful that I had such a considerate person driving next to me. The guy behind me was giving me dirty looks, and I really want to get out of my car and pull him out his car through his window. I thought to myself that it isnt worth it. When the light turned green he tried to get in front me when turning left under the bridge trying to overtake me from the right.. where there is no space.
This guy turned out to be a nuts so he slipped in front of me and slammed on his brakes. I was in the Landcruiser and he was in a white Nissan pickup truck. After the other cars moved away I decided to make my move since there wasnt going to be any collateral damage. It was the last straw, I dropped the Landcruiser a gear and took off in the left lane even though he was trying to cut me off I had enough momentum. Then when I got in front of him I slammed on my brakes hard enough to make him stop and I got out of my car to literally take him apart. Then he turned into Khaldiya and ran away. I got back in my car, drove home thinking that was surreal because then my cousin called me and she had something hilarious to tell me so it felt as if this whole thing didnt take place. Now that I think about I wish I got my hands on him. What a nutcase almost hitting me, then slamming his brakes in front of me just to make me crash into him, and giving me dirty looks. I really wish sometimes I think less of the consequences and just beat the crap out of him, after reasoning through it thats when I decided to get out of my car and go for it. Too bad he ran I would have gotten a good work out from breaking every bone in his body with my fists.
I usually go through the house books every week or two, because the driver is the one who picks up the groceries for the house. A little while back I noticed something which I thought was a mistake, but I noticed that it happened too often. When you go to the co-op you give your number and they record the sale for a competition or prize or whatever is going on in your local area, but the more you buy the more points you have. Thats not really the issue, the issue is seeing a different number on the ID number then our house’s ID number, I thought it was a mistake. After looking into it, it turns out that the people at the register try to put in the ID number of their friend in the area. So I told my driver to watch out for it, but I saw it happen in front of me when I gave the guy at the register our number and he procceeded to punch in a completely different number. I told the man at the register either he puts in the correct number or I will be reporting him to the police. So please people if you buy from the Co-ops and have number make sure its your number on the reciepts. I found out it happens at different Co-ops as well.
This was a milcha I had to go to because it was for a good friend. I was saw some family there and a lot of friends. The funniest thing in the world is seeing two people who know each other very well and cant remember the other guy’s name. That happened to me a lot, and I kept storing new numbers on my phone and then asking someone I know who was talking to them previously what his name was! I was there with some family and friends for over two hours, if he wasnt a good friend we wouldnt have stayed. There was a lot of food, but I could never eat at these types of events no matter how much food there is. I have to say towards the end of the night i never laughed so hard in a while, so many things were taking place and it was a fun event, but damn I was tired. Still though it was a great feeling seeing the guy happy and his family and friends attacking him at the end of the night! hehehehehe
I have to say that this is one of the nicest buildings in Kuwait with an open area to work in. If it wasnt the KPC in that building then people would want to rent a location there if their were any openings. Its a great location, and there is ample parking. The built a great parking structure which I think every company should have, if they are going to build a tower then they should have a parking structure like this which is nice to look at with ample space. Making it a nice working enviroment makes it easier going to work. Too bad it belongs to KPC.
Since I recieved my last shipment about two weeks ago now, I got another box with it which has about 2 TV series, 10 anime, and one Gigabit wireless router. It has been on hold at customs for more then two weeks and the shipping company told me they wont see it before one month. So it has been two weeks now and Im entering the third week. This is making me hate buying online at this point! Im going to go nuts at this rate, the most annoying part is that they are holding something that doesnt belong to them and they are a bunch of idiots.
A person that I know in shipping told me that they would “destroy” any items they deem to be illegal in Kuwait. And how do they decide legality well thats another matter on its own. Before this whole thing people were just happy getting DVDs and watching them, but at this point they aggravating people’s dailiy lives for no reason.
They should use an X-Ray machine and if there are any drugs then stop it, other then that they should let it through period. From a few different people I heard that this is happening to USWS, and Aramex. If you order from Amazon and have them ship directly DHL it wont be stopped. I know two people who did that and they said the cost of shipping is worth their piece of mind. At this point Im going out of my mind. My next big order will be going through DHL directly to Kuwait.
After getting into work at 9 am, the weather made me hate going into work even more! Im honestly just happy getting through all this! Just a couple more days of this and I will be through it inshalla! But I have to say this! I WANT TO BE ON MY BIKE!
On my way to work around 8:30am, with the amazingly empty roads, I saw 5 bikes! 2 Harleys, 1 Ducati 999, 1 BMW R1200 , and 1 Yamaha R1! They looked liked they were the happiest people in the world! And I wanted to join that feeling! The weather is perfect outside! 31 Degrees, and empty roads!
Please people if you read this then get off your PC, Mac, or Linux Box and go out! Be outside! Do something outside! Read a book in the garden, cruise anywhere with some music! Go anywhere! Its just so nice outside that I would want to be outside, but again Im stuck at work until 5 pm today! I just hope everyone takes full advantage of this and has a fantastic day! No matter what the hell is wrong the weather is too damn good not to make you feel like having a good day!
When you wake up and its still dark outside the first thing you do is look at your watch to make sure you didn’t wake up too early. Then you realize what time it is and get up! Do your thing, and get into the car ready to go to work! Its still cloudy outside with a little sunlight! The weather just doesn’t help to get up or do work! It makes me feel like chilling at home watching some tv shows, anime, and playing videos games!
Those who dont know should know, as of Tuesday morning at 5 am the flag land line connection between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia is down. They went through an emergency connection through Dubai at this point. And they arent the only ISP that is having connection problems. So the internet has been slow at a few different places, our KEMS connection in one company is running at a snail’s pace, and the Qnet connection here is running so slow that its excruciating. The MOC is running into problems as well because the connection wit Dubai isnt stable.
I have been using this shampoo from FCUK for the past 2 years, and it has been great! I just like to jump into the shower and use something smells fresh/sporty and gets all the dirt off, be it after riding, the gym, fun in the sand, working on my truck, changing a tire, cleaning an old dusty pc, or whatever the case maybe! It does the job and gets it all off with a refreshing scent to it. If ever a smell was to be tagged sporty then this would be it! I suffocate in elevators, cars, and small rooms from people who spray a gallon of colonge after a show or after smoking. It is seriously horrible, I have made it clear to some friends about it and I think they got the point since I can breath around them now, but some people that you dont know or at work might be suffocating you and you cant do anything about it! I use colonge maybe once every two to three weeks, other then that its just the shower! I used to buy 4-5 bottles whenever I go to London so they could last me a while, but I just recently found that they are selling in Boots in Marina Mall, and I would recommend any guy to try it out. Its light, smooth, refreshing, and most of all clean!
