6 Of The Most Ridiculous Things Overheard In Dubai

Avatar

In Dubai, many become accustomed to a certain type of lifestyle. 

And thanks to the comfortable life many lead, things can get a bit removed from reality. 

Occasionally, we forget what we sound like to the outside world. Here are a few of the most ridiculous statements heard/read/sent in Dubai groups.

1. “My maid won’t shave her legs, anyone have suggestions on how to get her to?” 

Erm, no suggestions here…

It’s anyone’s guess why this issue bothers someone. 

2. “I found gum on my doorstep. Gum. And people wonder why we’re angry at some of the people who are supposed to be our ‘neighbours’.”

A very angry reaction for…a bit of gum? 

3. “Ugh, I hate being home when my maid is there, she makes me feel guilty for the mess”

To be fair though, we can relate to this one. 

4. “There was no valet at the place…so I just left” 

A classic Dubai problem right? 

5. “My nanny thinks she shouldn’t have to get up for my newborn during the night…but I think it’s her job”

Errr…

6. (On November 10) “Is it too soon to put up my Christmas tree?”

Answers ranged from “no, it’s never too soon” to “Well…it is after Halloween’ to “Wait until the last weekend of November at least…”

But we’re fine with this one – we say go for it!
