Something fun to read!
Just musing through my emails and just have to mention this one!
You know you've been living in the UAE for too long when:
Life seems difficult without tissue paper.
You have a plumber from Britain coming in as a Plumbing Engineer
You put on the air conditioner to full chill, pull three thick blankets and go to sleep.
You enjoy camping in the sand.
You think everyone's first name is Al.
You know which end of a shawarma to unwrap first.
You give directions by landmarks instead of road names.
You think all gas stations are made of marble.
You can receive every television station except the local station.
You get used to the fact that the cold water tap gives hot water during summer.
You can't buy anything without asking for a discount.
You think the definition of a nanosecond is the time between when the light goes green and the guy behind you starts blaring his horn
Your idea of housework is leaving a list for the servant
You think that inching further into the intersection will make the light turn green faster
You expect all policemen to drive BMWs
You expect everyone to own a mobile phone
You expect football to be played at 3 in the morning
You wonder how a photo ID works for women wearing abayas
You turn up the AC to write Christmas Cards
You think a red light means ‘run it’
You measure time by the number of prayer calls
You think Pepsi begins with a B
You make left turns from the far right lane
You think speed limits are only advisory
