Pebbles
Thursday after lunch I dropped Mark home and headed to the gym. While waiting at a traffic light I heard a strange sound. I didn’t know what it was but it sounded like little rocks hitting my car. I found that odd since I was at a traffic light with no buildings over me. I looked around and noticed this Kuwaiti guy wearing dishdasha sitting in his car smirking at me proudly. To grab my attention the guy was throwing what looked to be tinny pebbles at my window! What was he thinking that I would be mesmerized by his smile and throw him my number? Can someone please tell me what some of these guys are thinking of sometimes when they’re trying to hit on a girl! Is the guy driving around Kuwait with a bag full of pebbles and throwing them at cars hoping that one girl would find his actions cute and smile back at him??
I have wondered about that too. When I was once walking with my friends in salmiya center(who were girls), they started throwing orange peels at the girls and started smiling. After we walked away, we were all wondering how that was supposed to attract the girl. This whole guy-girl seclusion thing that goes on in the Arab world really messes the minds of these people.
As Jerry Seinfeld says: Ladies want to know what guys are thinking, I’ll tell you what we’re thinking: nothing, absolutely nothing.
OK, I started laughing when I read that! I have no clue what the guy was thinking… probably not thinking if I am not mistaken.. what idiots, too many of them to count!
You could report him.
I love Beirut, a guy like this makes a pass, next thing the girl calls her wasta or family and he ends up in jail or beaten up like his pebbles.
Or a martyr for the liberation of shebaa.
Welcome to the (some) Kuwaiti guys’ mentality ….
Do not u think this is a good script for tv commercial to grap attention.
I assure you it eventually works on someone, the right someone, otherwise why would he have come prepared with pebbles
he WASNT thinking!
its (almost)the same in romeo and juliet’s love story
doesnt he throw rocks at her window?
How did Mark attract your attention? :D
Maybe this is the answer?

The Kuwait times article is retarded, every other paragraph end with “you will be raped”.
Fadi: That happens in Kuwait too .. just have to know who to call. ;)
I simply dispise these actions. A couple of days ago I was peacefully driving myself back home when this car cut infront of me, then slowed down, then cut infront of me again… and so on for a few minutes. I didn’t realize what was going on because I couldn’t believe it was really happening. Then as I was heading to my building, I kept seeing the same headlights in my rearview mirror but didn’t think much of it until I turned into my building and saw the car ever so slowly drive by. It was the same car that was cutting me off repeatedly on the highway! Inno, seriously, do they think that if they jeopordize my life I’m going to swoon?! And what’s with following cars?! This has never happened to me before! Aslan, what kind of story will people who meet like this tell their children? “Walla, I was driving down the street one day and I saw this girl in the nearby car, so I started swirving in her lane, making it impossible for her to drive properly, plus I caused so much traffic behind us, causing others on the road to be enraged and endangering their lives with my stunts… but it was all worth it, because now I’m married to your mom.” swooooooon
Man, wish Shakespeare had lived long enough to write a Kuwaiti version of Romeo and Juliet.
I am sorry you have to experience such incident! Maybe he was drunk or something heehee.
howdy – i find this article weiredin some way.
The article is not weird .. its downright ridiculous. That has to be one of the single most biased articles about Kuwait.
“Many of them would not hesitate to rape you and leave you empty handed and get you pregnant.”
Mo Hat I did it the old fashioned way, i crashed my car into hers at a traffic light dilibertly and got her number like that.
the guy was throwing banak! not pebbles! makes a difference :)
yea and i suppose u know cuz u were that person… or do u know cuz last time it happened to u: u rolled down the window and tried to catch some ?
for us in the different side of the world, we just ask the person for their number/s and that’s it. no need to throw pebbles or anything. =p
peace.. =)
Anybody asked for Bud’s light.
it’s not rape, it’s suprise sex.
Thouraya, your post No.14 had me in stitches! So funny!
Guys who do this risk their lives, and more importantly, other people’s lives. That is not attractive to anyone. When it happens to me, i find it very frightening and despise the idiot who does it.
Eat the banak.
Throwing shit is scary!
Lol so Banak makes it better?
There are just alot of stupid childish guys out there. they’re everywhere..
wow…good luck with your date
i doesnt make anything better, the guy’s just trying to get someone to share banak with him :)
throwing pebbles? lol
the other day i was out with my cousine (female) and one guy in a BIG SUV started following us with honking horns & bright headlights all the way from Souk Sharq to our apartment. Luckily he didnt have the guts to enter the building when he saw the watchman in front.
I feel sorry for that little chap to follow us for around 27 kms. He looked so funny with spike hair and a BIG 60′s Black glasses on his face. I didnt know the years were going backward…..1960?
Hey Nat, this guy maybe forgot to take the pebbles….lol
LOL, he watched too many old European movies where guys in Love through pebbles at the window of their loved one and sing a serenade for them as soon as they open the window.
Maybe he would have sng for you had you opened the window…. ;)
