People who

There is a couple of stuff that total strangers do that totally get on my nerves for sometimes no justifiable reason. Here is a few:

1- People who are lazy to walk up/down the escalators. I don't know why people like to stand in the escalators instead of moving. I mean it is made to make things faster, not people lazier. w ba3deen if you are too lazy to move, please take a side so that others can pass.

2- Close-talkers:Buzz off will ya?.. begad i NEED my personal space.

3- Za7ma-creators: This includes roughly 80% + of Egyptians. But in general it includes taxi drivers who slow down in "the middle of the road" to pick up people,; People who go 3aks el etgah be dahrhom 3ashan they missed an exit, and even the annoying fact that we simply and genetically can not form a decent line to wait for our turn.

4- People who drag their feet while walking and make a "shhhhht-shhhht" sound with their sandals/shebsheb/shoes.

5-Pedestrians that walk in a narrow street with total disregard of the cars. They can actually see/hear a car coming from behind or infront of them and don't care to stop or move aside la7ad lamma el 3arabya te3addy.Tana7a keda w la mobalaah.

6- W aktar 7aga betnarfezny (w tewadeeny keda w tegbny) people who play songs on thier mobiles w homma mashyeen. Most of the time these are teenage girls w beyb2a ma3ahom mobile nokia w 3'aleban beysh3'alloh tamer 7osny or shereen. No one asked you to entertain the streets thank you very much. Kindly try headphones, and definitely you DON'T ever ever sing a long fel sahre3.

I am starting to believe that I am living in the wrong country.

Ana mewaf2a mot, bas number 1 mo3tareda. Some of us have fallen on escalators so are somewhat reluctant to run up and down them, even if it means we are labeled lazy.

Ah yes, the annoyances that make up Cairo, if you're starting to notice (or get unusually ticked off), then Fairouz's Zorooni is not doing the trick, try a different song.

about the last one, I remember about a month aho (yes I do remember it for so long) it was in the metro and it was crowded as ever and there's this shankooti guy playing a song out loud for I dunno who, someone sha3ban can be called an artist compared to him. I remember it so clear because it really made me angry all day that I had 2 listen 2 that crap for 2 stations.

the mobile thing is the next logical step to Sonbol's "elo cassett bey3mely eema", so people they're being el wad el cool on the block. Pathetic(note the capital P).
All I can say WELCOME TO EGYPT, the land of the FAROOS.

I stand on the escalator, but let people pas. #5 Is the WORST...seriously..why do people think they own the road? This happens in stores too. I'll be pushing my cart in Carrefour and kindly wait for some lady to notice she's in the way and when I finally say, "law samaht" they ever so slightly shift to the side without even looking at me. In the US people don't stand in the way and if they do, they say sorry or acknowledge you in some way.
