I've tried calling the police (whatever) to report these bad drivers, but i still see them on the road. Tried being patient and let it go...hmmm but once you've have enough, you'll really wish for a baseball bat.
It's just too bad that my job involves fieldwork/client visits so I'm on the road most of the time. So go figure Q- what i have to endure every day.
What do you do if it happens to you? you just wave to the other driver and smile....c'mon'???!!!
Have you ever lived overseas before Q__View? I never thought I would sterotype either, but when you are completely surrounded by another culture you do start to generalize whether you like it or not. This doesn't mean you dislike people or judge individually, just that you expect people to often behave in a particular way. For example: When a Qatari is placed behind the wheel of a land cruiser they suddenly become wreckless a**holes and try and run you off the road. It's like crack for them.
the birdy could get you deported! Oh dear i have done that so many times! The only time i get aggressive is when i am behind the wheel!! I si still like my basball bat idea, surely in my defence thou as they tried to kill me on the road its self defence isnt it?? he he he! Sometimes i do wish i could thou! Especially when you get the little idiots who are trying to run you off the road or try there best to hit your car so you have to stop!!! im sure if i got out with me bat they would run!!!
I tell you what 2 years ago there was an accident at corniche the car went up the ramp getting in the middle of a car which was parked at a side and half up on the ramp. he was chasing me from Diwan round about with speed i was driving Land rover so he didnot notice a car in front so as i took turn to left and he was in speed behind me when he saw that he is going to ram into that pickup nissan he couldnot make it and had a nice accident.
I will judge and sterotype landcruisers all I want. They are just to smooth a drive and cause their drivers to drive like maniacs. They should be drug out into the street and shot! Ban Landcruisers! :)
how about bring some big stickers says"BAD DRIVER" so whenever you see one, you stop them, get out of the car and place the stickers all over their car. Then you drive away...
Do i look that crazy to you that i will point out a finger at some one in their presnece Gypsy Na No way. and if some one also gets u to the cop that you pointed out finger at him simply deny it tell them ur finger was aching so u were trying to get relax sort of you know lol
Q___veiw the day i find some one stealing my parking he will be crying the next moment for looking at his four tyres punctured lol Do that in the middle of night so no one hears u and see u.
My source was the cultural orientation for CNA-Q. My proof is a guy on this site and another guy at CNA-Q, one was deported the other spent 2 days in prison.
Don Finger them i have a style i don finger close ur thumb and ur middle 2 fingers and pop out the little finger with the next 2 finger to the thumb and raise it up to them
Well when I'm driving I stop caring about what's lady like! If my car could talk it would do nothing but curse and swear. But seriously, it is illegal to give people the finger and if you are caught you will be thrown in jail.
I also get p***ed whenever these men in dress and some other nationalities cuts, overtakes or just wannabe a***holes.
I catch their attention and stare at them until they feel uncomfortable. Some would act agrily, others would just smile and wave apologetically, some would signal for me to go ahead and some would just act as if they didn't know what they've done.
Or i just do the "finger" sign, out of view of course...hehehee
And it seems that you are quite the prankster (don't deny it! it was enough yesterday with that GPS fake tracking site that got me all excited and jumping out of my seat. I prepared a list of at least a 100 ppl that I wanted to track down, and you burst my bubble in less a minute).
Gypsy, lol - unless we have crossdressers in Doha, I wouldn't doubt for a minute that it was a she blocking the intersection.
As for the Tornado Cruisers barreling down on you in their Land Cruisers, I'm sure they were he's. She's wouldn't do that.

" God allows life to be rocky. His challenge is not to let the rocks grind you into dust, but to polish you to become a brilliant gem. "
a basball bat would be cool, i could just wave it as people and growl when they cut me up, or try and hit me, or reverese into me or steal my car parking space!!!!! That would be fun!!
I used to have a little fat man doll stuck in the back window. Attached to him was a tube and a plastic bulb. Squeeze the bulb and he leaned forward and dropped his pants.
I felt better for it and it got the message across, quite often causing a smile.
I also had (and still have it in Turkey). A stick on notice "If a**holes could fly this place would be an airport".
You could also use the "Avenger" that sits on the dash with buttons to operate the noises of machine gun, howitzer and death ray.
Yea man you are right 100% They mostly are Shes and now adays the new gang KARWA lol damn how they drive they will even try to over take you at 140km/h. The other day i was mad at one that u carry passengers and u drive so fast u nutz or what.
Funny the guys barreling down on me in their landcruisers don't look like she's...though they do wear dresses. The person doing a U-turn in the middle of the road yesterday blocking traffic I'm pretty sure was a she, but with the veil it's hard to tell. :P
It's as corny and as cheesy as it gets, I know: (I can already see the inventor of this thing declaring bankruptcy, but oh well, enjoy a preview of it while it's still on the market:
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.
Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a sweet escape into the world of budget-friendly Mango Sticky Rice that's sure to satisfy both your cravings and your budget!

Well I can clearly sense a lot of frustration at this issue from everyone.
My last idea still holds: A month after I get there and see for myself, I will let you know what I think.
For now, I have no further comments.
Just take care of yourselves out there on the road !

Let's make the stickers QView? do you hava better slogans?
Whatever you say Gypsy.
I will send a message a month after I'm here - I don't think I will be doing that.
Only time can prove - but I highly doubt it.

You can tell you aren't here yet Q___View. I give you a month after arrival before you start sterotyping the people.
Aha, good stuff Gypsy.
Stereotyping the SUVs themselves is no problem, as long as we don't stereotype the people.
Cheers.

how about the stickers says " I AM A BAD DRIVER PLEASE F*** MY A** " LOL
I tell you what 2 years ago there was an accident at corniche the car went up the ramp getting in the middle of a car which was parked at a side and half up on the ramp. he was chasing me from Diwan round about with speed i was driving Land rover so he didnot notice a car in front so as i took turn to left and he was in speed behind me when he saw that he is going to ram into that pickup nissan he couldnot make it and had a nice accident.
Dont Mess With Me Or You Will Pay
That should be the sticker
Gypsy,
Noooo they would drive it anyway!!!
easy... bring the net fishing with you, or the gun. just shoot them. hi hi hi...
I will judge and sterotype landcruisers all I want. They are just to smooth a drive and cause their drivers to drive like maniacs. They should be drug out into the street and shot! Ban Landcruisers! :)
AAaa now let's not start stereotyping and judging all landcruisers
but mila, I'm concerned, how are we supposed to "stop them" exactly?
I imagine it would be a tough ttask
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
" God allows life to be rocky. His challenge is not to let the rocks grind you into dust, but to polish you to become a brilliant gem. "
I think we should make those stickers and go stick them to every landcruiser we see. Right across the front wind sheild. :D
THanks cjpdad27
I have heard of this as well. There was a guy who worked for the company I do that got deported for flipping the bird. It does happen.
On a lighter note Gypsy, your bad (in a good way). LOL
how about bring some big stickers says"BAD DRIVER" so whenever you see one, you stop them, get out of the car and place the stickers all over their car. Then you drive away...
So you are saying I should stick to the finger …
Yea ok with me FOR YOU ONLY if you really like it but than make sure you also be ready for the fresh air of Prison
Do i look that crazy to you that i will point out a finger at some one in their presnece Gypsy Na No way. and if some one also gets u to the cop that you pointed out finger at him simply deny it tell them ur finger was aching so u were trying to get relax sort of you know lol
Q___veiw the day i find some one stealing my parking he will be crying the next moment for looking at his four tyres punctured lol Do that in the middle of night so no one hears u and see u.
Christ I hope not ooo! I do that everyday. :P
I think it is quite illegal, isn't it?
Gypsy, DaRuDe, what do you think?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
" God allows life to be rocky. His challenge is not to let the rocks grind you into dust, but to polish you to become a brilliant gem. "
How about getting off the car and beating the other driver up? Is it illegal too?
I should discipline my hands from now on.
I can't have them popping out their middle men out left and right.

" God allows life to be rocky. His challenge is not to let the rocks grind you into dust, but to polish you to become a brilliant gem. "
So Darude, you turn it into a Rock Concert every time someone cuts you off. Nice.
Do you start head banging also when someone tries to steal your parking spot ? ? lol

" God allows life to be rocky. His challenge is not to let the rocks grind you into dust, but to polish you to become a brilliant gem. "
Has a cop seen you do it DaRude?
There are noooooooo such penalties who said so i did to too many hehehe
My source was the cultural orientation for CNA-Q. My proof is a guy on this site and another guy at CNA-Q, one was deported the other spent 2 days in prison.
Gypsy, I didn't know that, I'll keep it in mind for the next time.
… I have to say though I have fully enjoyed that one only time!!!
Gypsy, give me your sources right now!
By that I mean: "Are you seerrious?" If you give someone the finger you face such penalties?
What other things do we need to know about, please let me know.
Well can then .. simply .. frown at someone? lol ...

lol
you're funny - but you sound so stressed at the issue
may i suggest to you:
with all of the examples that you mentioned, how about ... you think of the road as a GO-Kart racing arena and just join the mania !
It's more fun that way

" God allows life to be rocky. His challenge is not to let the rocks grind you into dust, but to polish you to become a brilliant gem. "
But I actually did it once! Sorry but this guy just called for it, couldn't help …
OOO, no we aren't! It's illegal to give people the finger in Doha, you can be fined and deported.
OOO, no we aren't! It's illegal to give people the finger in Doha, you can be fined and deported.
ooo - let me know if you manage to do that "flip" ;)

Charmed: no one is trying to "cut you up", LOL. Probably just trying to cut you off.
But in either case, we don't want to be driving them cars and swinging them baseball bats at the same time now Charmed, do we?

I really really wish that we could flip people the bird. It would make my life easier.
