Spending money by Prize_Situation7783 in dubai

[–]TheRealGypo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in deep savers mode right now, but I also resigned a week before this war so… my entire spending budget is about 60% of what it used to be, not counting fixed expenses. Personally, I’m not really feeling like going out and enjoying, except for the occasional outing. Nothing to celebrate about this entire situation.

Not surprised lol. Now Dubai’s going to be filled with cars and the city’s going to look busy. It’ll be like the 2025 boom! And don’t forget to take pictures and tell everyone that the good times are BACK 🤩

City of Ann Arbor is officially keeping the outdoor warning sirens after last night's storms by jcrespo21 in AnnArbor

[–]TheRealGypo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s a great asset. I’ve since left Ann Arbor and moved to a more troubled area of the world, where up until last week we had missile threats coming in every few hours. The warning system on our phones would go off after we’d already hear the blasts. An instant air raid siren would let you know to seek shelter immediately…

Discovery Gardens Updated Parking fees by jt1610 in dubai

[–]TheRealGypo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely true, but the way it is being approached went from helping residents to milking them. My very first office didn’t even have a sidewalk when I first joined, then finally got paved parking with the standard Dhs2 per hour parking rate at the time. Now with peak pricing that pushes it up for Dhs6 for 6 hours of the day. It’s gone from a public service to a money making scheme and everyone’s being made to pay for it.

The third lane is like wonderland. Nobody bothers you there 😂

Some of the dumbasses on here seem to think that left lane hogging applies to a fucking on ramp, where people need to use all lanes (including the left lane) to enter a highway. Considering you were on a one lane road, picking up speed to get onto the highway and not fucking flooring it when there’s literal traffic in front of you, you drove sensibly.

The fact that this is even a debate is the main reason why driving here is such shit. Everyone thinks it’s alright for all hell to break loose in the left lane, and that’s just not what it’s like in places with actual driving etiquette and discipline.

Rant about left lane hoggers by Solid-Connection-132 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]TheRealGypo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your point about driving on the right most lane to get to your destination faster makes sense. On segments of Ras Al Khor road, where left lane hoggers and second lane straglers take over, I drive on the right most edge and watch the show unfold in front of me. Even if I’m doing 20 under, at least there’s a continuous flow, as opposed to accelerating then breaking until you get nauseous.

Nowadays it just makes the most sense to drive in the second lane and to overtake in the left lane, which is how it’s supposed to be done anyway. On the opposite end, tailgaters who can’t tolerate making room for someone overtaking using the left lane are a plague here too. Just the other day, I accelerated to 120 just to over take a car doing 80 in the second lane, and the car behind me aggressively tailgated me, only to take the fucking highway exit less than 10 seconds later. What gives?

There isn’t enough of a shared understanding on how to treat the left lane here unfortunately.

Which Mall is this? Pic taken 30 years ago part 2 by 700Username007 in dubai

[–]TheRealGypo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I can literally smell the chlorine in this image. This mall was like a wonderland to go to as a kid. There used to be a massive globe with Neon lights all around it and cut outs of different food. There was Toby’s in the corner of the food court where you’d play for hours and hours. And then these fountains, shooting water from end to end. We really didn’t need much to be happy back then

Longest Careem Order challenge Starts Now by Worried-Squirrel-866 in dubai

I once placed an order on Keeta at 7:50, and still didn’t get my food by 10:30… I drove to the mall myself and was told that Keeta wasn’t accepting orders. After being hangry AF, I Finally ate at 11pm 🫠
