Racist or sexist people here...
It all began on Thursday: at 6:15 PM, I was driving by the sports round about and a green camry almost drove into my car, I flas hed and honked but seems like the person who was driving was deaf and blind, I moved into the fast lane and then i overtook the car (which was a big mistake I guess), the next thing i see is there was a local lady, and she gave me this sign "I'll show u" with her fist. I ignored her action and went on.
Yesterday morning the cops called my dad (since the car is under his name) and they asked him to go to the traffic department. So i went along, I kind knew what it was all about and when I got there, they took my lisence and made us wait for 2 hours. The cop didnt say any thing, he just said my fathers name and asked him who was driving the car and took his id aswell. After waiting for 2 hours, the lady showed up and they asked us to go to the (head of the police)'s room, when we went in, the cop guy strated his lecture, "what if there were kids in the car, this that blah blah blah..." i'm like dude give me a min. listen to what I have to say, but he goes no u dont have the right to say and went on and on... at the end the lady was like let him go... i ignored everything, since he didnt let me speak and at the end he gave me a lecture about how my dad has been here for soo many years and his reputation and all... and then they just let me go with a last warning... what can i say, its their country they can do whatever the hell they want and get away with it...
Just wanted to tell u guys to be careful, cuz they dont care about the expats in this country, if u complain no one cares, if they complain u go to jail...
I like PM too, she is a really nice person. I just dont like it when people push me around. I'm sorry PM

well xonic first of all i might not agree with PM on some means few countable points but rest yea am impressed with her comments Mostly uncountable.
To get to an age you have to go through alot of mess and expereince
so be patience your mind level aint at that level of PM when ou reach at that level you will curse your current days that HOW FOOL I WAS.
AND SECOND I DONT WANT ANY KINDA MISUNDERSTANDING BTWN MY QLSG GROUP MEMBERS SO WATCH IT
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
I know i have problems with patience and I'm working on it, but its people like u who dont really help in the process..
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI
PM, this is not just the case of my reading skills, u've even tried to provoke me in other threads. Now u could have been polite and sent me a message saying the same thing, things might have been different. But u decided to go rambo on me and that never worked, believe me.
Oh and by the way I said I had a little respect for u, I didnt say "I dont respect u". No one gains respect, but it sure can lost.
QT, dont worry man. I wont post after this comment.
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI

whoami, I agree with u.
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI
PM, when were we actually talking about the subject???, u were the one who were telling me about father ted being a comedy show, does that have to do anything with the subject????
Secondly, the last time I met u, I told u that I'm not into dating... (incase u forgot), so quit making judgements, u dont even know me.
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI
what I'm saying is that us locals still get into trouble too unfairly.

Well thats why i said, its their country, they would get jail time, but at the end they will still be in here. Where as for me, I could get deported.
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI
he wont get deported but he nearly got jail time. It was only because that woman changed her mind at the last moment that she might be 'mistaken'.

@thexonic, what does 'it's their country they can do what they want with it mean'
Don't be like all the others and end up acting racist yourself.
The SAME thing happened to a friend of my fathers. A Qatari woman cut him off, he made the hand gesture "slow down". Next day he's at the police station because that woman said he stuck his middle finger out at her.
So it happens to LOCALS too.

Sure pm, may be in the world that u live in... most of the girls they only choose to be with jerks who cheat on them... i dont know what kind of respect do they have for the jerks...
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI
.... or is that just being consistent?
All things being equal, fat people use more soap
I dont think respect is earned, lol... that didnt even sound right coming from a person who did soo much research and became a muslim... The first thing that Islam teaches, is giving respect, thats what Prophet Muhammad (saws) did... even to those who were against him.... now logically speaking, they didnt earn the Prophet (saws)'s respect... no one earns respect for being a jerk...
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI
No point on arguing... we dont have any common ground. This subject is closed.

PM i have a little respect for u, which is why i wont respond to u and pretend u didnt say anything. Plz let it be between me and ted.
IF EVERYONE WAS TO TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN BLIND TODAY - MAHATMA GHANDI
Eco, thats only in the areas where there are signs which say no honking... not everywhere

There are 03 types of ppl here ..
1) Qatari
2) arabic speaking
3) non-non( neither of the other two ..)
Cant coment on the other two or i will be writing a passage on my trip to the cop station like Thexonic,
but if you are a non-non, Even if you standing on the pavement and a landcruiser hits you (driven by (1) or (2) ) ..its your damn fault !!!
Cheers mate
... here's this poor Qatari woman, driving down the road as she normally does, and using whatever part of it she feels like using as it is, after all, her road, when she is overtaken by someone in a car who is obviously not Qatari and therefore beneath contempt, who has the audacity to honk at her. Now let's consider ...... this woman more than likely has no job, no outlet for any creative dreams that may have spirited across her consciousness as a young (pre-Abaya) girl, and the biggest thing she has to worry about now is how many maids to take shopping with her (will she have two bags of shopping or four?), and whether or not the latest gaudy jewellery plonked on her diabetic hand (too much chocolate - eaten through sheer boredom) has more diamonds on it than her friend's. She has a husband who only has sex with her in order to produce more spoiled, inconsiderate, rude, uncultured brats (and whom she assumes, probably correctly, has at least one girlfriend of a different race, culture, disposition and, dare I say, is more than likely in possession of a much more attractive figure than hers), and her contemporaries lead exactly the same life as her.
Wouldn't you use any excuse to brighten up your day, even if it involved a trip to the police station?
And if anyone has taken offence at what I have written, then I am truly and humbly apologetic. No really, I am. Honest. Scout's honour?
Using lights, horns, microphones, or other machines against the law (1 point)
http://www.qatarliving.com/node/28816
Next time try wearing a white robe and be fluent in arabic before overtaking....
Or else just carry on with yr day.
trust me we r here to make life and not break it by getting affected by things which will never be ours or on our side.
lol whatever, I was never whining, I did admit that i took the law in my hand... i dont know how is that considered as whining, but i think its ur humor that isnt working. Perhaps if u want some material to bully around, i think u should reconsider, this is not father ted, this is QL... and ur jokes are definetly not working here... so cut the crap. I dont think u can be a preist either...
--------------------
No human can stop racism and its easier to make a deaf hear u than an ignorant.
thexonic - you came here whining about how things are, the fact of the matter is you broke the law, end of discussion. Father ted is a popular comedy in the UK, I am not a priest.
I never allowed anybody to mess with me on or off the road ..in India.....
But here in Qatar its a different story.. ...........count up to hundred very slowly before you react to anything...
and I didnt expect anything, I expected my say, I never said what i did was right, I did wrong too, but it was her action that led to it... Where did u read that i was hoping for sympathy??? dont just make assumptions, lets see how u respond to this "just by pretending to be a priest doesnt make u one", perhaps I dont see any qualities of a priest in u from the response.

So you break the law here in response to her actions and expect sympathy? I feel you got what you deserved, maybe next time you will think of reporting the incident like she did instead of doing such things.
You can go to maamora Police station and ask for the new department for Human rights and complain there, may be they can let you say your opinion
I KNOW THAT, THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT HERE, AND SOME TIMES YOU FEEL HELPLESS, BECAUSE THE POLICE ARE NOT FAIR AT ALL.
Thank god u were left with a lecture
u r really lucky
just enjoy ur stay dont act smart
why the hell did u overtake
Be cool
COOL GUY
lol not really, they are humans too u know lol. Perhaps I've met the members of the royal family quite a few times. They are very nice and humble people... definetly not like the woman and the cop lol.

AbuAmerica if I wanted to do something, I would have talked about the way she was dressed up and insulted her... but I dont want to get anyone around me in trouble, esp. my dad. But hey I think it would be helpful having to know some people in royal family to cool things down :D.

Try to see it from different angle .... suppose an arab or egyptian like me went to europe ,,, we will be treated like that also ... because it is not our country!!!
Arabs are being pulled over in foriegn airports and searched privately infront of others.
Everybody cares for his own kind.
Anyhow ... sorry for u and takecare next time.
is not sounding good for me. i'm scared to death out there as a passenger!hey thexonic, you could drive me and the kids around. Maybe next time they would cut you some slack. HA!!!right! that's ridiculous......crazy woman!
Yes Novita :D

mmm speed.....shyte....u sussed me lol!!!
Do you drive ?
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
I know why are you suggesting this idea ! so that your job could be easy
no cars no accidents no casualties !!
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
It seems to be that the women drivers are bloody crazy here! (As the rest of the world) but these women obviously don't know the power of the car they are driving..scary....
yes thats my point ... he should have noted her no and informed the police of her driving attitude ! that is my point ....
For your kind info... if you overtake someone in a high speed and immeidately applies breaks is also a life threatening !!
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
and who will pay for bruises? Abaya and pogo stick what a style
All driving is wrong, we should ride bicycles and other civilised means of transport like that such as walking or using a pogo stick.....
How is overtaking wrong? unless it was on a single road or somewhere where overtaking is prohibited.
Way to assume that he broke the law.
And poor judgement isnt an excuse, if she has such poor judgement she should stay off the roads. Such mistakes cost people thier lives.
Sorry to hear but thats the norm here...
And see how this never makes it to the front page of QA lol its just sad.
You took the law in your own hands by overtaking her ... sorry to say but it was your fault ! what she did was not her intention it could be her poor judgement or a mistake which you could have avoided !!
Eitherway if you would have noted her number and complained to police ... i am sure the police would have supported you since you was not at fault in the first stage ...
Anyhow, how many cars do you overtake in a day ? just curious
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
You just met a super biatch who is currently having an affair with the local policeman.
I must improve on my writing skill and use more emoticons. LOL
How are people to understand that I'm joking if I just write short statements!
Sorry, I was just being lazy!
I'm so sorry to hear that this happened to you.
OK. My usual funny and dry style of writing is just not getting through today!
I wasn't serious at all, with any of my posts above!
I was joking, but you are right, driving in the UK is amongst the best.
maybe showing a British Driving License instead of a British Passport would have helped.
you are not the only one who is experiencing this scenario...almost every expatriates who come across with the locals....
and who said honking is allowed.
And QT shame on you to suggest brit passport, as far as i know brits are one of the best drivers and I have seen how excellent driving in UK
Darude I could have turned the tables, but i would go to jail then. The only thing that stopped me from doing so, was being under my dad's sponsorship, I dont want him to get in trouble. If it was in my hands, I would have done tons of things lol...
Spice me up... what were u reading???
Snowstorm, the locals cant set an example, good one would be way too far lol.
R7, well this is the first time that I actually faced something to this extreme... I am used to the small things :/
Qatarisun, the picture is way bigger than just a local... it has even to do with "LADY", cuz the guy said if it was some random guy, even if it was qatari, we would have let u go, but this is a woman... all of a sudden woman's life is more precious... (sexist)
Pope: i'll give u call in a bit.
Thanks for the support everyone, hope someday there would be some equality in this country.

If I had put a high premium on equal treatment etc. I wouldn't be here. I put some premium on these things and that's why I am not in Saudi.

She was able to get you plate number? Maybe when you overtook her you blocked her path and had a chance to take note of your car plate#. You should just honked continuously and sped away! Unless she has an eagle eye. hehe
"you are not in your country....blah..blah" happens to me one time. I also observed that if your vehicle is big, they cannot harrass you. That's why I change my ride to mammoth.
Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty... For tonight, we dine in hell!
Thexonic Sorry to hear that you had to put with their crap, you are right about one thing is their country. I'm glad that your are OK, and no one got hurt. I'll invite you to have a drink inside my Confession Booth with that Biatch !! Off course NON-ALCOHOLIC!!!! I'm disappointed at you, all this time you haven't learn anything from this old pope and his international hand signs. Take care and be cool and don't forget to call me tonight.... I want to be English!
...yes....I know....things happens out there... but me...myself... for sure would practice my breathing otherwise I for sure will end up dead in battle....
No, he didn´t mention that he was aggresive....but....
in my ears he seemed a bit ...well let´s tense ...... "I flas hed and honked but seems like the person who was driving was deaf and blind, I moved into the fast lane and then i overtook the car"
...thexonic...!......I´m not saying you did something wrong....I would probably feel like doing the same...
I actually got helped out big time by federales once with a flat tyre...didn't ask for anything.
I have only paid one bribe and that was 2US
I certainly don't share your experience.
I didn't not misunderstand you I knew where talking about law enforcement officers.
Sorry you had those unfortunate experiences.
u misuderstood me. I meant the mexican COPS, fedaralies to be exact. And no I have never meet a decent fedralie, sure they are out there but everyone has asked for $ and one even stole (confinscated my surfboard) I am part mexican myself and LOVE the people and culture but the cops are corrupt, u cant deny that! In the same way im not aginst arabs or qataris I just dont care for the legal method.
Mitch
Ah...the power of the "wasta"....
Sorry to hear that happened to thexonic, but what can we do...c'est la vie. There will always be people like that no matter where we are. Sad reality.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong -Garfield
but what it has to do with the "Racist or sexist"??
it's just a "local" Lady who is entitled for everything.. always...period.
it’s the worst thing to get in trouble with the Local Lady.. if it’s the local guy you can solve the problem somehow.. but with the lady?? Never, forget about it…

Forget the passport - little to do with it.
Bring a Qatari from the correct layer of the correct family.
All just learn how to grovel and tug your forelock like a serf to the feudal lord......
i think xonic did the rite thing to just listen him and just ignore the cop..as xonic will say smthing as the argument will get long and long..so dude just chill man..its just a bad dream..have a nice day
I wud say your lucky.....there have been so many instances here when things like this have happened and u think u have sorted him/her out on the road and ur driving home and all of a sudden.....
u'll see urself surrounded by cruisers(its like being in a circle) and just ur car in the middle of them,and with all their head lights flashing at u......i'm sure u can figure out wht followed after tht......
So be carefull guys.....
yes - but you hold your breathe in so many times here you end up getting blue.
Also did you read anywhere in his post where he got confrontational and aggressive?
I didn't
Easy, next time, bring a British passport and a Qatari with you to the police station!
Next time it happens.....brethee and count to...whatever amount it takes to cool down.....be greater and don`t start a fight......if you meet war with war you will most definitely have a war.......
expat in a landcruiser!!!!
Thexonic...Hey mate first of all, sorry buddy, it indeed is quite frustrating to hear such a thing, second, who in the world or what in the world told you that this female understood or realized that it was her mistake, you must be nuts to think so mate...LOL...
And Spicemeup...just so you know, this guy aint a westerner, and this aint a anti arab thread, this guy is arab for all that I know...LOL...and really I dont think you need to take this towards a racist side...this is an incident and it is s5it...so take it easy in bringing more s5it into this...buddy...
do you mind not making sweeping statements about Mexicans...?
'at least they dont demand $$$ like the mexicans. I was too scared to talk back in that situation. '
pobre Mexico tan lejos de Dios tan cerca a los EU....
am sorry spicemeup please dont put me in the same category of racist people againts arab. cos my only problem here, is the descrimination between the foreigner and the local in police station. the police should listen thexonic story as well not just the local lady. please dont stir up some heat around here.
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
i'm still unclear on what you did?
you honked at her and for this she called the cops?
did you give her the finger or anything?

sorry to hear what you've gone though mate.
remember "What goes around, comes around" =D
"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, tolerant of the weak. Someday you will have been all of these."
Mila, it wouldn't help too much. lots of ppl do that, sometimes they even publish it.
but nobody really cares...next day it's someone else with other problems.
it's just a fact..
Xonic, just don't worry about it!
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
I'm sure all of you who have been here for long, know that this has been happening and going on since years now.....
Our parents went through this in their young days and now we r going through the same story......
you think so emron, thought they adopt freedom of speech???
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
such one side system.....arggghh... but as all said.. what to do, this is their country... just sometimes it gets to your nerve how they abuse this kind of "power trippin" over expatriates.. not fair???..indeed!

Welcome to the Land of Landcruisers which crushes expatirates .....
you know you should make article to editor of gulf times or peninsula and let all people understand the situation here and whats wrong and right.
the police should listen your story as well, not just listen her as local woman. and in your case, seems like she is the drama queen.
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
