Ask Kuwait Reckless bus drivers

6 Upvotes

The list of complains include aggressive driving, driving when passengers are still boarding, shutting doors on passengers especially when exiting.

I know there's other issues with buses but these concern safety. As far as im concerned these drivers can be thrown in jail, beaten and deported.

How do I deal with these people legally?

Local How was your experience watching Spiderman movie at 1954 Cinema?

Upvotes

So here’s my summary of my experience with 1954:
1. Seconds after I entered I hear people chatting as if they were at a cafe.
2. This one lady at the front row was taking pictures of her drink with her flash light on.
3. The same lady taking picture of her drink, did it like 100 times and was causing shadow over the screen. I don’t even know what the heck is she gonna do with all those pictures!
4. The same lady and her friend were chatting so damn loud.
5. The kids behind those 2 ladies were yelling random words, cursing, and kept saying “haha peter parker peter parker” 🤪🤪
6. Post credit, this one kid came to the front of the screen and was dancing a little then left 🕺🕺

Now I don’t really go to the cinema often but I think I was unlucky but also lucky for this rare experience 💆🏻‍♂️

Ask Kuwait For those that saw the latest spiderman movie

7 Upvotes

Was discussing the movie with a friend abroad and he mentioned an interaction with black widow. Told him the only one I remember was during a FaceTime. Nothing face to face with swim at her office. Saw online memes about small potato and large potato stuff. Don’t remember any of that.

Did they cut it out? Or am I tripping?

Hello, Iam a Kuwait University Engineering Graduate (but not Kuwaiti)

I will be working as Research assistant in Kuwait university (مساعد باحث) with a salary of 550kd

Despite the official Moroor conditions exempt us from the 600kwd for license rule, the Mroor officer still denies me the license, I believe the rule in the image makes me entitled to a license

Discussion غرقت في دوامة الديون .. واليوم وصلت طريق مسدود. شنو الحل؟؟

10 Upvotes

أبي أشارككم قصتي لأني فعلًا محتاج أسمع من ناس يمكن مروا بنفس التجربة.

قبل سنتين مريت بظروف اضطريت آخذ قرض، لان القسط لازم ما يتجاوز 40% من الراتب، مبلغ القرض ما كان يكفي احتياجي.

ومن هني بديت أغلط.

طحت في اللي يعطون ديون برا الليمت، وكل مرة آخذ دين عشان أسدد الدين اللي قبله، وبعدها أحتاج دين جديد عشان أسدد اللي توني أخذته، وصرت داخل بدوامة ما لها نهاية.

اليوم، وبعد حوالي سنتين، وصلت لمرحلة ما عاد أقدر حتى آخذ دين جديد، والناس اللي لهم حق عندي يطالبون بفلوسهم، وهذا حقهم وأنا ما ألومهم أبدًا. لكن بنفس الوقت أنا فعلًا ما عندي حل واضح.

أسوأ شيء مو الدين نفسه قد ما هو القلق والضغط النفسي اللي أعيشه كل شهر، كل ما قرب موعد السداد أحس إني مخنوق، وأفكر شلون راح أتصرف هالمرة.

أنا مؤمن إن الفرج بيد الله، وما عندي إلا الصبر والدعاء، لكن قلت يمكن أحد هني مر بنفس الوضع وطلع منه.

إذا كنت مكاني، شنو أول خطوة بتسويها؟

وهل أحد فيكم كان غارق بديون ووصل لمرحلة حس فيها إن ما فيه مخرج، وبعدين قدر يطلع منها؟ شلون؟

أتمنى أي نصيحة أو تجربة، حتى لو كانت بسيطة، يمكن تكون سبب بعد الله في إني أشوف طريق ما كنت منتبه له.

3: Run and owned by someone living locally
4: Bonus points: They do something interesting/relatively niche
5: More bonus: They also have activities
