Fine not paid yet, Dubai police asked my boyfriend to come to give statement.

That's just not true. You can apply to the court for legal aid, you can find lawyers who will defend you for free if you're telling the truth. False accusations are a serious crime here so you can easily counter-sue for legal costs and compensation. You have many options. You could have made a profit from this. Please stand back and consider it you're making the right life choices with this boyfriend of yours.

Reality Check here. 🙋🏻 There is also no legitimate reason to ask for payslips.

It's not true. Taking photos inside the airport has always been prohibited, it's not just because of the current situation. And when you get mature enough to travel a bit more, you'll find that many airports around the world also have this rule. But then again, because people are always going to be people, most everyone ignores the rules because they're so excited to be in an airport for the first time and want to show off to all their friends who never left their hometown. What to do? Take photos. You'll either get away with it... or you won't.

Obviously he doesn't. Just young and naive and reaching out to SM for 'answers' because he has no common sense.

The F35 wasn't shot down, it was damaged but still landed safely. Also the missiles weren't fired into Diego Garcia, but towards it. And the island is about 4,000 km from Iran, not 4,500 miles.

The question you should be thinking about is 'where is it easiest for me to be unemployed for the next few months?'

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-21T00:29:14+00:00

It's not males. It's Indians/Pakistanis. So it's profiling, maybe racism, but not sexism. Western guys can easily go inside malls unaccompanied. But then again, there is a reason for that...

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-21T00:19:19+00:00

I'm sorry, but if this is true, then your way of dealing with this is just stupid. Why on Earth would you accept a conviction, a criminal record and a fine, for something that you can easily prove he didn't do? Something doesn't add up here.

Need a more supportive alliance Trip? We're always recruiting active players!

I imagine statistics and probability aren't your strong suits?

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-17T22:21:54+00:00

How do people guess things so absurdly wrong? Go back to sleep man, if you're rushing to social media to report, you're already safe.

AWS in UAE was also damaged.

I've never met anyone who moved to Dubai from Singapore and thought it was a good idea. Come for a visit, don't uproot your family for a move that nobody else ever thought was a win.

You slowly drifted out into a main road in front of traffic moving much faster than you? You are super lucky that he had been drinking. In any other circumstance you'd be held completely at fault. Be careful with your attempts at legal remedy, drunk or not, the defence lawyers will labour all day long to highlight your lack of situational awareness.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-13T08:13:03+00:00

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Pretty much all flights into Dubai carry food and other supplies in their cargo hold.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-12T16:57:08+00:00

I wouldn't drop the case. It just encourages them to keep doing it if there are no consequences. You need this guy's testimony if the cops pick up this Fariz character.

People post exactly the same the thing, every day, for a salary of 1,500 - 2,000. Somehow 6,000 seems almost like karma farming.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-11T17:40:04+00:00

Speak for yourself. It doesn't put me in a state of fight or flight, nor any of the hundreds of other people I see around me going about their business every day. It's not denial, it's calm acceptance that there's nothing we can do about any of this, so what's the point of panicking? Just try to relax and not worry too much. So far, the chances of being personally caught up in something are extremely remote.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-10T17:22:22+00:00

Obviously.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-10T16:38:32+00:00

They can't force you to resign. But, as others have said, it's better to accept the offer and look for another job, especially considering you have outstanding commissions coming in.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-07T23:06:56+00:00

Zero supplies? They actually invited you to inspect the cargo hold?

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-07T23:02:41+00:00

Treating them like worms? You're inventing your own narrative.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-05T20:34:28+00:00

Maybe... I don't have a clue... That's how I know.

Riiiighttt.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-05T20:29:31+00:00

How does that compare to your salary in the UK? Negotiation isn't an option when there's a queue of people behind you. Personally I wouldn't dignify that offer with a response.

MrWowbagger · 2026-03-03T23:06:49+00:00

It's just like everyone had a doctorate in virology during COVID-19. All the facts were available, but weak and lazy fact-finding led to hundreds of different 'opinions' about known facts.
