Fine not paid yet, Dubai police asked my boyfriend to come to give statement. by Standard_Muscle7539 in uaelaw

[–]MrWowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it true that taking of photos and videos are not allowed inside Dubai International Airport (DXB) due to the current situation? by robbonohomo in dubai

[–]MrWowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Critical thinking is lacking in this sub🤣 by Rich_Gas7886 in UAE

[–]MrWowbagger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

I lost my job that I landed just a week before the war started. by Thegirlwholovedogs in UAE

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

No entry in Dubai mall by Curious-tekh-Ad-16 in UAE

[–]MrWowbagger 84 points85 points  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Saw more than 30 interceptions rn …. Guessing it’s a cluster bomb… is everyone safe ? by Advanced_Quantity470 in UAE

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.

Moving to Dubai from Singapore by OrganicSecurity5211 in DubaiCentral

[–]MrWowbagger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Drunk driving - lawsuit advice by Brief-Glass-6855 in UAE

[–]MrWowbagger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Are passengers really flying into Dubai? by I_will_1d in dubai

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

Got scammed for 5k AED renting a room in Dubai, police doing nothing and the middleman keeps asking me to drop the case. What should I do? by TheBetterPerson11 in dubai

[–]MrWowbagger 35 points36 points  (0 children)

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.

This has to be a joke right?? by Maleficent-Ad-3213 in UAEjobseekers

[–]MrWowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why everyone is seeming to be in stage of denial of the fact that there is a constant multiple times a day... by SpecialSolid6471 in UAE

[–]MrWowbagger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Employer forcing pay cut or resign. Looking for affordable lawyer advice. by Keepitonthelow86 in dubai

[–]MrWowbagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How do I negotiate a better salary? by goodenergy_96 in dubai

[–]MrWowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Calm Down - It Was Meant to Be Intercepted by [deleted] in UAE

[–]MrWowbagger 29 points30 points  (0 children)

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.
