7 Types of Pretentious Egyptians You Meet Every Day
Don’t you ever feel like screaming Kefaya tamseel ba2a? The one thing we love about our fellow citizens will always be their sense of humour that emerges in the darkest days, leaving us ROFL. However, the one thing that dampens our day more than traffic jams and Mortada Mansour is the pretentious folks we bump into on daily basis.
1. Those who talk about high-end brands
The guys wearing plaid Burberry shirts and women going on and on about Michael Kors and Prada bags. The worst thing is that people who are actually used to lavishing themselves in designer bags, shirts and dresses, never actually spend hours talking about them. Guys, e7das will get you nowhere.
2. Those who insinuate that their partner is better than yours
“He surprised me with breakfast in bed”, said two types of women: those who won the romance lottery and pathological liars. We don’t want to hear about him swooning you and please stop posting love letters to your partner in public on Facebook, it’s nauseating and we feel you’re telling us not him/her.
3. The Facebook preachers
The ones who are constantly offended by everything they see on social media. No post is safe from their fury. Of course, their whole comment is a lame criticism of the post’s content, no matter how insignificant the post is. They are also into giving you life advice and add, “Shame on you” for theatrical effect.
4. The “You’re lucky to be in my presence” ones
Social snobs who don’t acknowledge your presence unless they have to. They never greet you unless you are literally in their face. They are nice to you today, and tomorrow they walk right past you. They look down on everybody. Their sense of entitlement comes from money or a delusional social status. Surprise, everyone, cool in 2016 is a down-to-earth attitude.
5. Those who judge you for enrolling your child at a national school
Yes, it’s a thing that only parents understand. Long gone are the days when we went to national schools with 200 EGP annual fees. Now, if your kid is not enrolled in an international school, you need to hide under a rock. Mothers now brag about their kids’ schools. No wonder the fees are sky rocketing.
6. Instagram-famous folks
Apparently, you need to be proud of yourself if you have over a thousand followers. Their feeds are filled with one selfie after the other with a pout that looks anything but natural. We know life is not that perfect, so take a photo in the freakin’ traffic for a change.
7. The let’s-make-fun-of-your-accent crowd
Giggling over someone’s accent is a harsh habit we all need to stop. It only means that the person knows one language and is trying his best at another.
