These are some of the things that annoy me just off the top of my head:

1 - when i'm in the bathroom and the water is running and who ever is outside can CLEARLY hear there is someone inside and not only do they knock on the door but they attempt to open the door. can you not hear the water??

2 - when i'm sitting trying to enjoy a meal but then i hear chewing noises from the person next to me =S

3 - when i'm sitting in the car and at the traffic light with tons of other cars .. i'm smack in the middle of the loooong line at the traffic light with cars in front of me and behind me .. the cars in front are slowly moving and not beeping their horns but somehow the ones that are ALL THE WAY BEHIND EVERYONE feel the need to prove who can beep the horn longer =S

4 - when you know what you're doing and how to do whatever it is .. if it's a job, a chore or anything that you already know and then someone comes a long and INSISTS on explaining HOW to do it and also continuously speaks to you as if you are an idiot

5 - having 2 really close friends whom get a long perfectly fine with you but cannot stand each other and then give you a hard time for spending time with the other

6 - being COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED in the middle of the night and then waking up because you REALLY HAVE TO PEE!!

7 - when u wake up in the morning and ur all comfortable in ur bed to realize that you have exactly 2 MINUTES before your alarm goes off and you have to wake up for work/school

8 - when you're already completely and obviously having a horrid day and the ppl around you insist on asking stupid questions .. (e.g. getting dressed for work and putting on MY UNIFORM then get asked "where are you going?" it's like .. can you not see the shirt i am wearing?)

9 - having an itch on the BOTTOM of your foot when your in the middle of a mall or any fully populated place and your wearing tennis shoes!!

10 - seeing ppl complain abt their problems but don't want to hear ur opinion on why they have that problem bcoz ur opinion is it's because of them

11 - seeing a great pair of shoes in some store that cost *for an example* 130 riyals and I only have 129 sr

12 - constantly being asked "so your mom is american and ur dad is a ghamdi .. so .. how does that work?"

13 - the need to get out or go and get something from the supermarket but i have to wait for the driver to get back or my dad to wake up/come home

14 - my stupid laptop .. coz it's just stupid

15 - overly and excessively dramatic people

16 - having someone ask me a question that i obviously don't know the answer to .. (e.g why are the prices so high here? OR why are there single men in the family's section?)

17 - watching a NEW movie with friends/ family and despite the fact it's the FIRST time ur watching it as it is the FIRST time they are watching it .. but they insist on asking questions (e.g. why did he do that?! or did she actually just do/say that??)

18 - being in the shower and not have the hot water working or worse shampooing ur hair and the water cuts off!!

19 - asking someone a simple question but instead of them simply telling u that they don't know they sit there quietly thinking abt the answer leaving u with nothing but wonder if they've even heard u in the first place so u sit there and repeat the question like an idiot

20 - typing up some loooooooong thing or filling out a registration form or something online and when u send it the whole thing freezes or disconnects .. and when u go back to it all that you have written is gone and u have to RE-DO the whole darn thing

1 - being the cashier is the most fun thing to do in the shop.

2 - everyone wants to be the VM (Visual Merchandiser) but when given the task they don't want it anymore, they slack or completely mess it up.

3 - Saudi women who are completely covered from head to toe and specifically ask us to turn OFF the music are the ones who ask for the strangest things to have ever been made in the history of lingerie.

4 - back stabbing your colleagues is as normal as drinking a bottle of water and then having to pee within the hour.

5 - Saudi women have the ability to manipulate others into doing their work for them .. then having the other thank them in return for "teaching" them about their work and supporting them and letting them "practice" it as much as possible.

6 - never work for an Egyptian boss. It's like they cannot control their power and have the need to put people down and act as if everyone around them are insignificantly useless. (word of advice: Don't speak to them or give them a piece of your mind unless you have solid facts to prove them wrong .. otherwise to them the sky is green and the grass is blue)

7 - Filipino's have this thing where they BELIEVE that since they wear a 34A size bra .. that they MUST wear a size 34 panty. (no offense nessy!!)

8 - some Filipino's look down on others (NOTE: this happened to me twice)

9 - stupid Saudi men and stupid Saudi girls are the reason that good hard-working Saudi women quit.

10 - it is impossible to plan for the next day and have your plans workout perfectly. Everyday you have new problems that you would never expect and at the end of they day usually you have done nothing from what you have planned on doing.

11 - solving the everyday new problems that simply pop up make u feel like u achieve different things everyday and make u proud most of the time.

12 - South Africans are the most pleasant, exciting, interesting and most fun people i have met or seen.

13 - most Saudi's confuse what the letters and numbers are for and they actually think that the numbers are the sizes of the cups =S

14 - there are a lot more brats out there than i have expected (E.G i was the sales person for this one customer who was a girl and insisted that i get her all of these different styles for G-strings and so I did .. to have her grand mother and mother tell her "please get some other things as well that are more covering .. you're only 16!" .. 16 year old's reply was: "Excuse me? I didn't ask for your opinion .. or for yours .. you are only here with me to pay for what i want .. ok?" leaving me standing there feeling very awkward having to witness the rudeness of this teenager and the disrespect of a family issue ..

15 - Saudi women are the most difficult customers to have ever been dealt with (Note: once the shop had so many customers at one time during the sales that the cashier lines were extremely long .. and the Saudi customers at the end of the line were annoyed from waiting and ended up throwing hangers at the cashiers!!) LOOOOL

16 - working with a gay guy is EXTREMELY interesting .. they are smart and extremely observant!!

17 - working with mannequins is as fun as it seems.

18 - giving the employees a discount at the shops is their own mean way of getting the salary that they just gave you back from you.

19 - working in a shop is extremely stressful .. physically and mentally and in every other way possible.

20 - there are 2 kinds of Saudi women (1. very smart .. 2. very stupid) there is no gray area.

Blue Ribbon AGAINST Child Abuse; please read through and pass it on !!


My name is Sarah
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see,


I must be stupid,
I must be bad,
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?


I wish I were better,
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my Mommy
Would still want to hug me.


I can't speak at all,
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long.


When I awake
I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.


When my Mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.


Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.


I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall.


I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.


He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.


He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.


He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.


I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.


"I'm sorry!" I scream
But its now much to late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.


The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!


And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.


My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.

There are thousands of kids out there just like Sarah. And you can help.


It sickens me to my soul, and if you just read this and don't pass it on I pray for your forgiveness, because you would have to be one heartless person to not be affected by this email. And because you are affected, do something about it!! So all I am asking you to do is take some time to send this on and acknowledge that this stuff does happen, and that people like her dad do live in our society , and pray for child abuse to wither out and die, but also pray for the safety of our youth.


Please pass this poem on as a Blue Ribbon Against Child Abuse because, as crazy as it might sound, it might just indirectly change a life.


Please forward if you are

so .. what is yours???
