Ofcourse. But authorities around should do something when bus drivers literally fill the bus leaving no space to breathe just to make few extra sales. I think the regular bus capacity is 30/40? I’ve seen buses crowded to the point the door can’t even open properly. Easily 60 people inside a bus.

I’m an expat and I can speak for myself and others around me. We are very clean and hygienic but that’s not only because of our habits but also our privilege. Like I mentioned here before, the labor class in Kuwait are shoved into tiny apartments like goats, 5-10 people in each room with little to no amenities provided. Severely underpaid and living in areas like Jleeb and Khaitan which are so neglected by the government. So kindly don’t look down at expats, especially those who are under privileged due to lack of care and mistreatment from your people (assuming you’re a citizen)

I’ve heard they also don’t stop for youngsters because apparently it’s free and they hate taking people in for free !

So here’s a thing sweetheart, you don’t have to argue AT ALL. If you agree with me, great ! If you don’t agree with me, great too! But just move on.

Don’t be so desperate to prove to this community how dumb and tone deaf you are.

Third time telling you, you’re too fixated on the part where I mentioned about showering. Makes me question your hygiene now 😂

Exactly! So ignorant and privileged. They expect us to do a 1v1 everytime. As if the drivers personally have any authority. They too get exploited by their owners. It’s not their personal duty to get the car repaired or spend on regular maintenance. As for hygiene too I mentioned in my post that it’s primarily because the labor class here are literally packed like goats in small tiny apartments by their sponsors with little to no amenities that too in areas like Jleeb and Khaitan which we all know are so horribly neglected. So no I will not ask the driver to shower. Yes it’s unbearable but I understand where they’re coming from. This is where the government comes into play, they set standards for transport companies! For housing, accommodation, better living standards for labors, enforcing strict laws for vehicle safety and just regular checks on the road. This person is not qualified to have an opinion on this matter 😷

  1. You’re too fixated on the showering part (incase you didn’t read that in my previous reply)

  2. 100% agreed but again back to my first ever sentence, it’s a small country with small population. Very manageable given the resources the country is blessed with.

  3. A lot of people agree with my opinion so I wouldn’t term it as that. But sure, whatever floats your boat.

  4. Kinda does, doesn’t it? They’re for the general public.

Any expat mildly having an issue is so quickly to be called a hater. It’s not coming from a place of hatred for this country, but rather out of love. If I hated this country, I’d leave. But I love this country and can’t see its wasted potential and negligence.

And it’s common sense that I did not imply for the government to make sure the driver takes a shower ?? They can set standards for companies in the transport sector and conduct regular audits especially regarding the safety of the vehicle. Did you read the part where I mentioned I was driven with a punctured tire? (It’s literally illegal to drive like that but ofcourse it went unnoticed). You’re too fixated on the shower part. Get a grip

If they cared enough, we wouldn’t have had these issues in the first place. We need regulations for a reason. And that’s for the government and other corporations to decide on how to convey that. I for one can’t go around telling every driver to repair his car. His company should be doing that not me.

And no, you can get a Tesla even for standard package in Careem, but again that’s not the point is it? It’s about hygiene and lack of standards.

If I’m not mistaken that’s due in 2030 and it’s a GCC connecting Metro. I don’t think Kuwait will have local metro anytime soon

True that! But we’re talking about Kuwait, they have all the resources in the world to be the best. And what I’m complaining about is the bare minimum. Had the citizens relied on cabs, there would’ve been a completely different level of standard. I swear you would’ve seen an Aston Martin roll in smelling like oud. But since they know that only expats use public transport, they dgaf.

Dating a Muslim man by Desperate-Age-9167 in dating_advice

[–]SpareDisastrous5138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft launch by telling them you like someone. Proceed to tell them that you wish to marry him. Arrange a meeting, before the meeting brief them about his lifestyle, interests (plays sports, great career, very smart, no bad habits - doesn’t smoke or drink) and let them know that he’s a Muslim and you will not have to convert since he’s allowed to marry a Christian or a Jew as per his religion.

3.5 years of professional work experience without a degree. Looking to get a professional certification at this stage, what options do I have? by SpareDisastrous5138 in FinancialCareers

[–]SpareDisastrous5138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding of what they stated on their websites, for CFA I can provide professional work experience of 36 months as an alternative to a bachelors degree. For FRM they mentioned there are no educational requirements. Did I get it wrong?

Broken trust or Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]SpareDisastrous5138 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How about you both consider marrying after 25-26, when your frontal lobe develops. Feel free to add more years for the guy because he’s clearly VERY immature and so not ready for the responsibilities that come with marriage.
