That all husbands cut the grass, do all lawnwork, and wash the suvs every weekend or everyday if necessary, and most importantly pay all the bills in the household (after getting a job).

Huh? All husbands? You wash your car everyday?

You cannot SMS (txt message not even call but txt message) in when you donnot want to go to work.

Grocery shopping is usually a once a week thing, but whenever I crave something go down to the corner and buy it kinda thing.

Many things like traffic signals, work schedules and waiting patiently and not cutting in lines are not suggestions

People donnot "hang out" in the middle of the street at 3am (unless they are up to no good)

People donnot just walk across a busy highway, in fact people here try to avoid walking near and around highways

Not a good idea to be "nice" and pick up hitchhikers

Personal calls and chatting generally frowned upon at work

Cannot just walk up to the cashier in a shoppe and except them to cash you out, while others are waiting in line or just give them the money and walk out

A falafel sandwich is $4.00 not 30 cents. LOL

I was reading this thread to my fiance and he couldn't believe it when I read this to him.

He knows things are expensive here but I guess it's hard to imagine sometimes since everything is so cheap there.

LOL in some places they are more than that! I have paid up to $6 for falafel and up to $8 for shawerma. My fiance still can't believe this, LOL.

LOL Im not even going to tell you how much I paid for a falafel and a shawarma in London. I nearlyhad a heart attack because I know that I did not order a gourment meal LOL My little dollars are ####### to the british pound. Its just nearly 2 dollars to the pound!. =0( I wish I only had to pay 6 and 8 dollars for a shawerma and falafel!!!!

I don't think i was speaking for all husbands just mine. No I do not wash my suv everyday, but when it gets dirty I hope he will be like most of the men I know that keeps their cars very clean. Funny how out of all these post, you choose to comment on just mine. LMTFA #######??????

And another thing. This was a nice posts for you to either post something serious or funny. Instead of posting something of your own, you choose to highlight my post and question it. You obviously have serious issues that should be addressed by a counselor/psychologist, etc. But try and leave your many issues off of a public forum if you can do that.

I think what I will do from now on (being just like you) find someone I dislike (me) and follow them around and wait until they comment so I can be the crazed nut that I am (you) and send my warped sense of trying to attack and hurt someone, lol

The is not a "I'm just kidding smiley". Believe me, I've learned this stuff the hard way, if you're joking, put a . The means that you agree with something.

Another thing to tell your SO.....It is necessary to leave 30 minutes early during bad weather (snowing, raining, or possible ice conditions) in order to get to work....if you get there early...GREAT!...better early than late ANYDAY

Has anyone mentioned debit cards? ( don't have time to read though everything) I swear my husband thinks the money comes from la la land when he uses it.

[~Jackie~ 30]

You might want to explain the word 'deductible' BEFORE he gets in an accident. Mohammed encountered a hit-n-run driver. At the body shop they wanted the $500 deductible. He swore because he had full coverage he didn't own a penny. I explained why he had to pay and he said, 'why they call it full if it's not full?'

:lol: Sorry to laugh at your misfortune but this is too funny!

Also:

Probably not a good idea to walk around in the street in a jalaabiya

And flip flops are not meant to be worn year round ... in fact you should not wear them with a suit to work
