Over the years, the phrase "Typical Kuwaiti" has evolved. More Kuwaitis have joined the list, therefore, more characteristics have been added to the "typical Kuwaiti" definition. The characteristics of that phrase are not necessarily all bad, and the word "typical" doesn't only come before Kuwaiti. It also comes before American, British, Spanish, and so on. According to my opinion here's what I think a Typical Kuwaiti is, at least from what I've recently seen:
- he/she is self-centered and thinks their superior to other people
- They think rules and regulations where made for non-Kuwaitis
- They take up people-watching and cruising in their cars as "Hobbies"
- They think they're Queens of the world (applies to SOME guys too) and expect everything to be done for them without moving a muscle
- They call in sick from work every other day to run their own errands...What are weekends for?
- pretentious
- The 2nd ring road a.k.a. "the love street" is part of their daily routes even if they live 50 miles away.
- Stopping in handicapped parkings
- taking two or sometimes three parking spaces with the excuse that their car is big or they don't want it to get scratched
- Maki is their major destination (I've never been there yet!)
- Spread rumors even if they know they aren't real
- Their typical vacation spots would be London, Marbella, and Lebanon.
- They'd gossip about people, For Example, who go to clubs and enjoy themselves, only to find the gossipers dancing the night away on dance floors.
- Always dressed up, even when going to fill up their car with gas.
- They say they're "open-minded", but seriously I don't see how it works!
This is what I personally think. I emphasized on some negative points but that's the harsh truth. Each day I'm finding it harder to adapt to our society, that's why my home is my favorite place in here.
