Asking for petrol Another kind of begging

Homeaway
By Homeaway

There has been two incidents with me in Ain Khalid Area where "beggers" driving the big expensive cars asking for money to buy petrol. How ridiculous is that they traveled all they way from Saudi Arabia to Qatar without petrol. What they are doing here in Qatar at the first Place? Strange....

I end up having a heated argument with them. We expatriate earn money to give them to these lazy beggars? of course there are needy people but atleastt not these lazy young boys asking money for petrol to go back to Saudi Arabia...

They are fake ppl.... do not argue and waste your time... There was a time when they used to roam outside every1s house to catch up some1 for money and now this has started.

The only answer to them is to ask them to seek help from Doha Police.
