Lane sense and Ettiquette !

go to a mall or supermarket on Thursday evening or anytime on Friday. Unless you want to raise your blood pressure.

LULU Hypermarket is like this ALL THE TIME. Once I had to scream at an older Indian lady and her entourage as we were waiting in line. She was so close to me that I felt like I was being molested by her and had to physically push her away from me. I like my personal space. I have never gone there again in 3 years and never will. I might commit murder if I do.

Don't tell my hubby, but I would rather pay double and go to Megmart to avoid all the idiots at the other places and ALWAYS have someone there to bag my groceries for me.

Yup, we all experience the 'horror' of these check out counter lines. You need a lot of patience to be able to handle it.

Those kids in heely shoes are a big nuisance when they're whizzing around the malls and shops. But of course their parents don't see it as a problem. They are banned in my school and I wish they would be banned in malls and shops too. The worst thing is that parents allow their kids to skate around in them and don't say anything to their sprogs.

Friday may be worse, but its pretty bad all the week round. People just don't care. Leave a trolley in the middle. Walk in front without caring you are blocking someone. Kids causing hassle. last week one lady gave her child a drinks bottle from the shelf. Then discarded it on the floor and went on after the kid had finished it.

Fridays - FFC airport and Lulu Hyper is a big NO..

FFC Al Sadd ( Al nasr street) is way better.

FFC on Fridays?....Note the time 11am to 1pm

After that its a mess....

My shoping time ends always before 3pm....max

Its crazy ......people are either at the malls or the corniche!!!....

lol

let me add: and the people who jump the queue in the fruit/veg section and never make eye contact.

OK.. OK... The sun had got to me and I was desperate :(

There are actually signs in some malls saying that "wheelie" type footwear is not allowed, but noone cares .

Getting back to my topic :)

Are we allowed to shoot people blocking the right of way ?

I doubt very much they are allowed in schools, never seen a kid wear them at my kids school.

whats happened to this thread?

Hahahahahaha I know how you feel! It is like that on weekends and trust me it gets really bad. I don't know why but I can't stop laughing!!

When I see things like that , I say to myself "I don't believe it" :)

And who said Victor Meldrew was dead!!!?? Britexpat, youve been exposed!!

I agree, children should behave and why are parents now allowing those ludicrously dangerous heelys to be worn in Malls and shops. People really need to learn discipline so they can pass it on to their kids.

just write a letter to ffc regarding your issue on children running around.thats why trolleys have seats infront of them?

another,children no matter where they are should always be accompanied by their parents.

uhhhh,,,parents,what do you think?

It is a nightmare. It is the same in any shop here I find. My big thing is ignorant, twits who leave their trolley at the back of your car so you have to move it for the lazy bastard.

I'll bet you, that you use to be part of the inner circle of crying PM'S of Mr. Brown.

Always complaining about everything.

Do you need a pacifier? Go ask the house of lords for help.

He he.. I had a similar experience at FFC. Narrow lanes and inexperienced "drivers" :)
