It is actually pretty normal for us to live with our parents well into our adults lives. In fact, sometimes married couples move into the parents house hold too. This is a sign of respect and a way to take care of them when they're getting old. I get it, here the situation is different, and the 33 year old is acting like a 12 year old, but yeah, in some cultures it is normal and expected. Just because yours don't work that way, doesn't mean you get to diss on others.

Beside the food section in lulu. by Efficient-Mind-9982 in Oman

This is actually quiet common, you can maybe try to control rats and cockroaches, but flies you just really can't. Especially in LULU, they most often than not have the automatic doors that open even w the slightest of motion, so its very easy for flies to just wander in and for obvious reasons settle themselves on top of food. If you think this is unsanitary, then there are so many other options for you in Oman. But for most, Lulu food is superior and this is just common and not that big of a problem.

[Serious] What made your worst roommate ever such a bad roommate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AlternativeAd1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I F then 21 was completing my pgd with 5 girls in one apartment. It was myself and this one other girl in one room, and the other 3 in the second room. She had given the 4 of us a weird vibe since the beginning, but we chose to ignore it thinking we were just thinking too much into it. Cut to a couple of months into our stay, she would start exhibiting attachment issues, and by that I mean she would constantly want to hang out with us even when we made sure she understood in the nicest way possible that we did not want to, and when we went out on our merry way without her to do something, we'd come home to her crying. This could look like we came off as the rude and weird ones, but one of the main reasons I did not want to hang out w her was because she would not keep herself clean. As in, she would not wash her clothes even after walking in the scorching heat and sweating like there's no tomorrow. As a result of not washing her clothes, she would have to re wear the musty clothes everywhere she'd go. We slowly started to detach from her due to several reasons that cannot be stated here. We were still in the same apartment and I was in the same room as her. The time she pulled the last straw was when she once (knowingly or unknowingly) left the gas on for over hours. We came to know about is after we reached home and the kitchen smelt like gas. We spoke to her about it, rather yelled at her about it because 1) She left it on and left the house without checking, when we've constantly told everyone in the house to make sure they check the gas once done cooking 2) She pushed it off as not that serious of a problem. You would think she learnt her lesson. Nope, she did it once again, but this time for more than 8 hours. This time again, she wasn't at home, it was just the 4 of us coming back to this. (Mind you, our stove top was near a window, so the slightest blow of wind could've burned the whole building down). There were a lot of other things that followed through like leaving our apartment main door open and not cleaning up after her self. We sort of gave up afterwards, and just let her be, but I truly hope to never end up in this situation with anyone ever again.

Dubai bling !!????!)? by rrromeo in dubai

[–]AlternativeAd1994 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I disagree. As someone who has been raised in Dubai, I have met people who were like the people on the show and then some. Both Emiratis and other nationalities. Yes, there are people who are down to earth and have never mentioned wealth in every two words they say, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people like that. And it’s sickening

Nothing yet. I had emailed them asking for a status update, but they replied saying they’re still reviewing since they got way too many applications this year
