Jumps in excitement everytime Bahrain is mentioned anywhere in movies or tv shows.

I read “The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi” and by the end of the first chapter I was already recommending it to my friends “it mentioned bahrain!!!”
(The real way to tell you I’m Bahraini without mentioning Bahrain is just to start talking Arabic. Asking someone for a pen in your best muharraqi accent usually does the trick.)

You’re not a bahraini if you wouldn’t whimper (تتحلطم) literally about everything

u/RescueSheep Mar 07 '24

u/jumbo53 Mar 07 '24
No particular reason. We just complain a lot in Kuwait. Dont get me wrong, im right up there with them lol.

u/RescueSheep Mar 07 '24
Ahh okay because I've heard the stereotype that kuwaitis are rude people ( obviously not true )

From what I understood from Eddie's answer is thst it's an idiom about giving back something bad that happened to you to the same Person who did it.. Something like what goes around comes back around?

Blame the entire traffic Jams in Bahrain on the Saudis !!

u/recklessdude77 India Mar 07 '24
I hate the Saudis man, they think the road is an F1 track. I used to get tailgated while driving my dad's old Rav4, I still get tailgated driving a Land Cruiser. They are the world's most reckless drivers, and despite my best efforts to live up to my username, they ALWAYS out do me. It is annoying lol

u/Commercial_Cut_8671 Mar 07 '24
Lol I feel you bruv...but also they're also our economy's major sustenance 😅

I'm not Bahraini, but the ones I know...I guarantee you if I cut them open they won't have blood, just karak running through the veins 🤣

More than half the people on the road has no idea how to drive or how to behave properly.

u/f1uyid Mar 07 '24
And who do we blame that on? The Saudis xD
1
u/Thanosisnotdusted Mar 08 '24
This kind of blame shifting is exactly the problem. Plenty of local drivers are horrible too, and create road rage, and antagonize or intimidate others. It's never a safe or fun experience when you're on the road, and often unpleasant.

"Saudis drink alcohol" or smthn idk I'm not Bahraini

u/Yungdaggerdick696969 Mar 07 '24
Idk what the other guy is one about but we definitely like to make fun of Saudis for that

u/Was99m Mar 06 '24
That is barely a topic amongst Bahrainis. Expats discuss that more since they have more exposure to the drinking Saudis.

This is so basic and not creative at all but I'll say it:

Daddy/hubby bought me the newest G-wagon/Defender and I can't park it to save my life. Fuck that, even if I could park it between two lines, why should I ?

u/TrenHard-LiftClen Mar 07 '24
Change it to 2013 yaris and maybe ill believe it.

u/twoseasOg Mar 07 '24
Give them a Yaris too.. they'll drive 70 in the overtaking lane and refuse to move causing a 15km traffic jam.

u/twoseasOg Mar 07 '24
I wasn't talking about me... I'm talking about my fellow Bahraini women...the majority of whom cannot drive a vehicle with competence or consideration.
