I thought i was the only one that contemplate running over stupid people and chicken on the road :P Marzouq you're smart mashallah, bright, open minded, and you have it all going for you, does it really matter what or how these people act? lol I find it really cute that you have a sensitive side to you :) But can't you see that you're on a different mental sphere than they are? Besides, I usually act like a lady because those are the standards and principles I laid down for myself, no monkey or monkette on the road is going to compromise my standards or etiquette. Laugh at them ;) lol I can’t stop laughing..

Same as this story I heard once: A Kuwaiti man slowed down to let some women pass thinking he was the epitome of good manners. Of course they crossed the road, one of them looked back at him, scowled, and said " mallet" as she pushed her palm into the air ( meaning: kummat 3alaih) He was boiling and shouted: يا صخول That's what happens when you act like a gentleman, lol! Hahaha, funny. Same as this story I heard once:

Why do they have to be so uptight and everyone is the enemy! Thats the look they have! A little gratitude goes a long way! nig6a: I know what you mean, but still it gets to me!

I for one used to think that, but now I see it works both ways. Whenever I'm in Europe or wherever, I feel the difference. I know how you feel because it makes me feel the same way but don't take it to heart. I'm sure those people don't intentionally do it to make you feel that way. It's just the way they were raised, they're not all blessed with a family like yours or mine that taught us how to be considerate to others. Just watch how children behave with their parents in public and you'll know what I mean lol... lol you know women usually complain that men are very ungentilmen-like in kuwait.

Ok el 6eeba shay o just a little grattitude is nice. If they did something nice then thats fine, but here they dont even thank them for doing anything. I know what you mean about feeling bad if you didnt thank them, thats why I make a point to thank people! Amo0ora: They dont forget when your looking at them in the face.

I will leave that to you! Aleeh: That is true to a certain degree, but other cultures thank a lot, Australians, Italians, Spanish, English and Germans. To a lot of other people it seems weird, but they dont have to be rude about it! Jacqui: Saying thank you is good! I know the look of shock your talking about! hehehe Blasha: looool!

Hell at home, here, when our helper brings me lunch or whatever I say "Thank you" it's just something that's been programmed in me and I hope to program it into my children someday soon. But I so understand what you're saying.
