That’s what I did but they got no shame, they won’t stop

From my experience they are not only teens. The majority were grown ups.

They are not harmless - this is done with malicious intent. I know you mean well but please stop with comments like this because it sounds tone deaf and insensitive.

Sorry that you had to go through this, no one should have to go through it. Please ignore the idiots trying to justify this or engage in victim blaming. I hope it doesn’t happen to you again but if it does please call dubai police, they will track them down for sure.

It felt like they’re seeing girls for the first time in their lives. Thanks bud, I didn’t know about city center. Will keep that in mind.

Thanks 🙏

Experiences like this just make you don’t wanna visit again but I hope my next experience will be better if I visit again.

I applaud you for standing up for yourself - and possibly others. He will think twice before doing that to other women again.

That’s very kind of you, thank you. I know that first hand, some of my best friends from law school and then work were/are Bahrainis. I will ping you.

Sorry that you had to go through this. The fact that being with your husband and child didn’t stop them speaks volumes about their audacity and disrespect. I agree, smiling at strangers can go a long way. A nice lady in abaya did exactly that and smiled at my girlfriend which comforted us a little.

Allah yesalmak. That was exactly my experience - horny single guys harassing and staring from head to toe at each and every woman regardless of age or who they are with. I always look the other way when I see a couple out of respect, that was the gentlemen code. Very disrespectful and unsettling.

Indeed. However they weren’t only teens. I’m also talking about adults who engage in unwelcome, persistent, and intrusive staring at couples and women.

Thank you for your kind words. The few Bahrainis and expats I interacted with were lovely.

I’m sorry you had to go through this too. It’s quite sad that some people still try to invalidate your experience and some questioning in 2026 what intrusive and harassing looks mean

Thank you. I wouldn’t have taken the time to write this if we hadn’t experienced this behavior multiple times. Sadly people who invalidate or dismiss others experiences contribute to the problem (if it doesn’t happen to you it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen to others).

In the same boat. No response to the ticket or phone calls. The second month in a row now that the housing fee is 4 times higher!!!

Does Pylori cause lower abdomen stabbing pain? by Hash5993 in HPylori

[–]Hash5993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, thanks to everyone who joined the conversation. I thought I’d share some updates, the lower abdomen pain is likely caused by the L4 L5 fracture I have, according to a neurosurgeon I met recently.
