You know you've been in Dubai too long when...
Even wat grappigs tussendoor:
You know you've been in Dubai too long when...
- You need a sweater when it's 20 degrees Centigrade
- You believe that speed limits are only advisory
- You expect all police to drive BMWs or Merc's
- You believe that the definition of a nano-second is the time interval between the time the light turns green and the time that the guy behind you begins to blow his horn
- You can't buy anything without asking for a discount
- You expect all stores to stay open till midnight
- You make left turns from the far right lane
- You send friends a map instead of your address
- You think it perfectly normal to have a picnic in the middle of a roundabout at 11pm
- You know exactly how much alcohol allowance you have left for the month
- You have a moon phase predictor on your computer
- You never say Sunday instead of Friday
- You accept that there is no point in asking why you are not allowed to do something
- You expect queues to be 1 person deep and 40 people wide
- Seeing guys welcome each other with a kiss no longer disgusts you
- You carry 12 passport size photos around with you just in case
- You can tell the time by listening to the local mosque
- You start to say "Insha'allah" when you actually mean "No fucking chance!"
- You overtake a police car at 85mph
- A problem with your car AC or horn is more serious to you than a problem with the brakes
- You're not surprised to see a goat in the passenger seat or a camel in a pick up
