It's Official! Qataris have a super secret cl

whoami's picture

Was quite proud at this sarcastic moment so I thought I'd post it in a seperate thread.

Haven't you heard? Us Qataris are all in this super secret club!

We ALL; when I say all I don't mean a few, some, alot, or a majority, I mean every single last Qatari, wake up in the morning and agree to a schedule.

Take today for example, we all agreed that we will all swirve on the first foreigner we see while talking to our mistresses on a mobile phone with our foot out of the window.

That's just phase 1!

Phase 2, we're all going to go to the shopping mall, wink at the first philipino girl we see and marry the first one that winks back. We can have four wives remember? Of course you do, that's one of the only things people think about when they think of Islam. After strapping a bomb to our fourth wife, we frolic around on the grass screaming obsenities to expatriates, sometimes the police will join in too! All police in Qatar are corrupt after all, and since they're here, they must be in on our plan too!

We've even got ALL other nationalities that might be confused with Qataris in it as well! Yep! Syrians, Lebanese, Kuwaiti's, Emiratis, even Indians too. We gave them 1,000 Qatari Riyals from the money we made from the oil field out back and asked them to wear thobes (since only Qataris wear thobes) and act like they've got a passport! Don't forget we love buying people to use our passports!

But that's not all, you thought that was it? We all end the day by calling the banks to give us some free stocks while they jack the price up for expatriates. As we then get tucked into out lovely silk blankets which are hand woven by a million slaves, we send out a text to each other to agree to increase the rent by 100% the next day. After all, we're immune to the law, we don't pay bills, and everything is free for us. Ah what a lovely life.

Don't worry you're not being paranoid or generalizing at all :)

Now for the disclaimer: This is SARCASM. This is a JOKE. The reason for such a comment is because I think it's insane that so many people can generalize by the actions of few. Ah well, some probably laughed, some thought it was stupid, and some probably thought that everything I wrote above was true. *sighs*

that was one awesome post. And i am sorry that Qataris are percieved that way, while they really are not all that way. Like among any people, there may be rotten tomatoes. But i have never ever stood for generalising.

Like JoanT said, you are a scream, and what a good read... Maybe you should blog a bit. Your blog would be an instant hit!

Kudos, you did well!

 .......thats not all, when we crash into the car in front of us its obvious there fault, stupid drivers driving only 100....

 

.......ques... what are they, of course if you see a line to que for a resturant or to buy something, this means walk passed and get in before the simple people who ques.......silly white people they kill me.

 

......not done yet....family is our life. My child is everything, when I leave him for six weeks here, 2 months there, wake up 9:00 perhaps 11:00am, my baby knows I'd do anything for him. I'm still not sure why my little boys calls me, nanny.

Hahahaha funny... WhoAmI..  I let you in on a secret... have you visited the expatriates secret club lately? NO? oh but you should!  here i what we crap about

You boys wear dresses and look so cool and guess what? we envy you for you look so fresh and girly while we melt in our manly pants

you get to have 4 wives! while we have to put up with ONE and only one (officially that is...)

You drive left, right sideways in the middle lanes;  we ask and wonder where the heck you learnt to drive! 

our driving is so constraint and boring compared to you racing men... hope you collect all radars' visiting cards!

while you're trying to work out all your mixed up nationalities we are buzily boozying with Irish, Scottish, Aussies, Pomies, Froggies, Wogs, blues eyes, red eyes, black eyes, just to name few oh I forgot cricket bashing...  We tend to forget about Qatari bashing and the rental increase you are about to wack on us tomorrow! 

You see mate most of us think you are so abslavelutely sleek in your oily patch we just want to have a wink or two at you!  Cheers... 

Me think Qataris are good people  want to visit our secret club?  WELCOME.

/-a-t-/Alexa, alright, you're in! But only for a probation period! During that time, I'm sorry but you may be molested in our work place. Don't forget NOT to report it or call the police. Don't worry though, after your probation period is complete, you'll be deported anyway for no apparant reason :D (ok that may have been a bit too dark Sealed)

Thank you whoami. That is one of the few posts I've read on QL in the 18 months I've been here that has genuinely made me laugh out loud. But what makes it an even better piece is that as well as being funny it also manages to perfectly encapsulate the stupidity of us expatriates who generalise an entire country all the time. Genius.

The stereotypes get promoted by everyone. I was told today by the bosses that some very high profile people(Qataris) were visiting today and that we might have to leave the kids in their classes, to move our cars so the VIPs could park.

it turned out that the VIPs came in one big bus!!! No chauffeur driven blacked out windowed cars to be seen!!!!!

Everyone is frightened by the locals, Ha HA Laughing

I'm really glad that that the post was enjoyed by many of you.

 

As everyone noticed, it's generalization that we need to stay away from.

If one person says something negative, we don't need to be negative back.

 

I admit, there have been a few times when I was in my car and a nationality decided to go from 80 - 20 in under a second for no reason and I said "Damn *insert any nationality here*" It's just a bit of venting to yourself.

 

It's a simple formula. Go tell a person "Your people are so kind and garcious". And that person will want to spread that image by his actions. Go tell a person "all your people are A$$holes" and that person will try to be an even bigger one to get back at the people who said it.

 

Let's make the most of life. If someone can't handle the good side, freedom, and progression, then ignore them. They're going to get left behind in life anyway. ^_^

I've seen more tantrums of Qatari children... Many a  times I feel that they've been told right from childhood that everyone else apart from the localites need to be looked down upon and they have the right to ill treat any expatriate because they know that most of them do not have the ba##s to retaliate.

 

One of the recent instances was when I heard a qatari teen shouting at an asian man when he was pasing by with his wife for no reason whatsoever just to show off in front of his 2 other friends.

Well about the swerving cars and not so much the foot out the window and talking on the mobiles, today was your day, I am sure you ensured that this went over the morning news, so many were swerving around and lane hopping this morning, I just wonder did the maids not get up in time to give them all breakfast,

However on my way home from work last Thursday I was driving behind an extremely aggressive western woman - I have never seen the likes and mind you a baby on board sign weaving in and out of the traffic as if she were alone on the street and swinging in back window dangering everyone in sight. Had I been able to take her number I would have posted it on QL. One other very aggressive young man (western of course)about 35 was roaming all over the street to on Thursday afternoon, however I did catch up with him and told him his driving was a proper disgrace and he wasn't even a match for Qataris he was just a plain sh****head


 

whoami's picture

whoami said [AT]andrew, i have no ...

/-a-t-/andrew, i have no major comment. The whole point of this thread is to show that generalizing is stupid and ignorant.  As you said some are arrogant, some are super polite. You get all sorts, in ANY nationality.

 

As for Ques, my whole family lines up, I line up, my friends line up, if someone tried to beat the cue, I'd definately make a fuss.

 

So, if you want to generalize, go ahead, welcoome to the ignorant club.

 

/-a-t-/canary,  lol, perfect example of you get all sorts :)

Bigdaddy's picture

Bigdaddy said A bit of insight ...

Making generalizations is treading on thin ice. Can't really win no matter how well you articulate yourself. At best you can only base things on fact. If you stand in ques and get cut off once or twice then this is life. I guess I hear people bring up this point and others because they see it happen more often than there accustom to. I think thats the point. We have all seen incidents of que dancing, children unbuckeled, issues of nanny verses parenting and tail gating. when you think about, if there is a word for something, such as tailgating, then obviously its happen before, in other countries and its been around longer than any of us. It has a name.

But again it comes back to the frequency. Anything mentioned in this thread eariler has happened in any country around the world, to everyone of else. Nothing has been said here, that someone is going, "oh my God I can't believe that, does that really happen". But it must be happening more often that it has drawen peoples attention to it. This thread has been repeated weekly for the last 2 years. Someone every week mentions something about driving or queing or nannies, blah, blah blah. Its because it happens at a higher frequency here. Not 100%, not even 50% of the time, but enough for it to draw numerous post and lenghty conversations about it.

 In conclusion......I'm going to pack up my 6 kids and 2 nannies and head off to the mall, why not, its only 8:00 and if things go right I may hook up with the first Phillipino I see.....mmmmm ....good.

exactly thats why i say why to discuss the matter about qataris when we are not qataris. if there is a qatari in this community debating on their attitude and culture it wud make some sense.

neelu said hi ...

it is disgusting to see how some people here think that they r a superior breed compared to qataris. life for a foreigner here is much more safe secure and comfortable than USA,Manila or any place in Europe. atleat no one mug u or shoot u between ur eyes just for a 100 dollar bill here. no one throw acid at ur face just because ur color of skin is lil dark.no one breaks in to ur house and rape ur daughter just because u belong to a different religion. Be thankful to the hospitable people of Qatar for letting us do our own things without interference.or better , go back to ur own dirty ghetto if u don’t like qatar

“he wasn't even a match for Qataris.”what do u mean by this. It is unfortunate that uneducated western housewives and philipino housemaids often abuse this forum by just airing out their age old prejudices. disgusting to see that even after living in a cosmopolitan society like Qatar people are not free from stereotypes.

Now, let us not critisize neelu, as neelu is a lawyer......Surprised

(From a different planet I think.....as neelu also says  that shooping for food is much, much better here than in the US...frankly, that did it for me..)

TweetyBird said I wonder where Neelu shops  ...

I wonder where Neelu shops  - because he is not shoppng at the same stores I visit.   I like Qatar but the grocery shopping is not better here than the US - at least from a US expatriates perspective.
