Default Cultural Understanding

Ok peeps,

This morning I went to DEWA to pay my elc & water bills which I always do after 3 months of acumalting water and elect.

There were two long queue's and in those queue's there were Expat ladies...! I couldn't understand why they were standing on the queue to pay their bills.

after a wait of 30mins It was almost 12.45 and at 1.00 the counter closes down, so I really felt to tell these ladies that they dont need to stand in the Queue!!! Simply because they are women.


I reached the counter just 10mins before it closes but my conscious told me to inform these ladies not to stand in queue but rather go straight to the counter... which they all did but all infront of me. nevermind



Please Inform your mises, your sister and most importantly yourself That as a Female YOU DONOT NEED TO STAND ON A QUEUE!

This apply's in all Gov./public sectors.

Thank you Mr. Rods, I also had to take some abuse from guys who were waiting behind me as I was letting the females go ahead of the lane...!


I hope those guys behind me managed to pay before the counter closed.

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can not,

They should remember that for your good deeds you will go up another rung on your ladder to Heaven and for their abuse it will be one more step for them down their road to Hell.

While attending the ceremony, remember do not press the button on your remote control and let off a Tomahawk Missile.
