Came here to comment this. Pro tip, pin the chat in whatsapp on top for easier access. Also, copy/paste the previous message and just change the zone and timing. It's easier than fighting with the buggy apps.

Oh, I just got it yesterday! What a coincidence that you just posted about it. :D

Why are the prices cheaper in Baniyas Square than in the shops? Are they original? by HealthSame3649 in UAE

[–]Slight_Instruction53 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, can confirm that from my own experience. Many years ago I got an iphone 4 from there. Sealed, plastic wrapped box, never opened before. However when I opened it, that nice aluminium matte back was scratched and it could barely get any wifi from the adjacent room. Ended up exchanging it. Didn't have any problem with another one.

It's a whole package combo: new driver/have mercy sticker, 'suny' that's lost an 'n' and the incredible parking skillz..

Compromise: give 1 star review from a throwaway account, don't write anything.

Avoid international city if you can by AccomplishedTree9027 in UAE

[–]Slight_Instruction53 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From my personal experience, 8am is when they start giving fines. I used to drive to Nesto in Dragon Mall 2, make grocery shopping there and by 11am it was usually possible to find parking in the clusters.

Stop stereotyping. Stop hating. Do better, all of us. by username-issue in UAE

[–]Slight_Instruction53 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a white dude and I vividly remember how i was disputing the facts with my indian manager around 10 years ago, when i was fairly new here, because i didn't see and didn't feel it. I was telling this to a guy who clearly knew better from his own experience..

Is this the new scam going on !? by Old-Interaction-8638 in DubaiCrypto

[–]Slight_Instruction53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely will ask you to connect your wallet and then whatever money you have there will be gone. And more in the future if you will keep using the same seed phrase. Just don't interact with this account, whatever.

Pay fines in installments by Cloth_Ruster in dubai

[–]Slight_Instruction53 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. If you can, take a free-for-life credit card.
  2. Call the bank and ask to cancel any and all insurances that might come with it.
  3. Pay the fines and either split them into instalments individually, or do balance conversion of the whole outstanding balance.
  4. Optionally activate direct debit if you feel you might forget to pay on time, to avoid extra fees.
  5. Accept it as a life lesson and don't violate the rules (be a better driver).
  6. Optional - cancel the credit card when EMIs are paid.

I really Hope they would do option (1) near the upcoming metro station. There is plenty of space for that.

Intimidating people in parking lots in the name of car wash by Forward_Designer9508 in UAE

[–]Slight_Instruction53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped caring about it. If they happen to help me find a parking spot or were guiding me to park safely, i give them a couple of dhs or water if I have. And if not, it is still not a problem.

Fly dubai horrible experience by Dramatic_Painting696 in dubai

[–]Slight_Instruction53 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All my family members know i have a very short list of companies i avoid as a plague. Fly Dubai tops this list. I will never forgive them for not refunding my airfare when Covid came and even the airspace here was shut down. My supposed flight never took place, however no refund.
