I suppose for me the hardest thing is to grasp why folk haggle so much as I dont haggle much and feel quite uncomfortable if I do it in this context (In as Kathmandu market its mandatory - all part of the game, for example :-) She was obviously quite wealthy so the 50 aed wasnt a lot of money for her, so it must be something else - a sense of power or achievement? At first I stood there shocked and they decided it was quite funny and laughed quite hard on the sidewalk. But I had had a few weird folk coming to buy as I was selling everything off and literally had the doors wide open with endeless visitors. Safa market was the same - so many folk haggling so hard, for the sake of 1 aed in some cases. Folk are barking methinks !!

In response to the Dubizzle story below, there are loads of weirdo buyers too. Last year I sold a small pretty wicker chair which I had advertised for 130aed. A smartly dressed woman arrived and started haggling Her:Ill give you 50aed Me: No, my lowest is 100aed - ive had a lot of calls for this chair (true) Her: Ok, then 100aed, but you must carry it to my car (Okaaay ?) So I carry it down for her and put it into her large boot belonging to her very expensive new Mercedes. When Im done she slams the boot, and electronically locks the car, folds her arms, squares me up by standing right in front of me with a look of truimph, and says " Im only giving you 50!" , shoves the money into my hand jumps into her car and speeds off!!! Note - if you want to meet a lot of weirdos, do a big dubizzle sale and see who comes to the door... WHAAAT?? What a b*tch! I was already shocked by the 'but you MUST carry it'... Not really - if you think about it, that was planned - if you had called the police her response was "buit she put it my car".... all very calculated....

To start of this story... A while ago I chose a hotel for our guests (work) dealing with salesman X. After a while, salesman X gets fired and works for another hotel. Since then he is calling me how much better the hotel he works for now is... Today he calls. Salesman: Ma'am, are you already interested in doing business with our hotel? Me: No sorry we are still happy with our current hotel. Salesman: Yes ma'am but we made changes to the rooms. They look much better now. Apartments have a much better view over Marina now :\:

phoning a number in a Dubizzle ad... Me: Hello, is the table still for sale? Ad: Yes, still here Me: Ok, can you tell me where you got it from, how old it is? Ad: It's from IKEA, 10 months old Me: I thought I recognised it (I'd seen it in the catalogue so I knew how much it was new) so how much do you want for it? Ad: Well brand new it was 1500 dhs Me: Errrr..... I'm looking at in the catalogue now and it's 700dhs Ad: Ok, 700dhs Me: But your advert says 500dhs??? Ad: Look it's brand new and cost 1500dhs Me: It's not brand new, you said it was 10 months old, what's your lowest price? Ad: 700dhs Me: I can buy it new for 700dhs, yours is 10 months old and your advert says 500 dhs, I'll give you 350 Ad: I speak to my husband she then phoned back 10 mins later and said "my husband said you can have it for 550dhs" Me: YOUR ADVERT SAYS 500DHS!!!!! Some people really don't get the concept of selling things 2nd hand! Trying to pass something off as twice the original price when it's from a mainstream store!!

Rang DU yesterday due to constant crank calls from a particular number, I was asking them for about the call barring service: Me: can you please bar this particular number from calling me! as I have had enough as they calling me day and night! Operator: we can't do that , acutally we can't do anything, but what we can do is bar all numbers/phone calls to your phone, would that help? Me: what's the point of having a phone then? that sounds ridiculous! haha they said that to me as well :D

Great stories ladies – I stayed up far too late last night reading this thread! Here’s mine…. A few weeks ago I went into Marina Pharmacy in the Greens in a massive rush seconds before it closed to get some Voltaren for joint pain in my shoulder, so…. straight to the “Pain Relief” display and picked up the nearest packet that said 50mg. Young Shop Girl: “Maam are you sure those are the ones you want?” (waving 75mg ones at me to take instead) Me: “Yes! I’ve taken these before! I don’t want to be swallowing 75mg at a time thank-you!” (exits shop like a know-it all) (At home) Open packet – pop out a pill - blimey it’s GINORMOUS, not like the last ones, and all waxy too…….Oh flip, I’ve picked up the suppository version! So after a few minutes contemplating using a couple as earplugs I resigned myself to an uncomfortable night. Next day – back in the Pharmacy. YSG “MAAAAAAM you need MORE supowotrees??!!” (very very loudly in front of several customers!) I get knowing looks every time I go in there now and I’m sure they think I put 5 volaterns up my jacksie overnight :-0 Would love to know what they’ve nick-named me! The above quote is from the original thread. It is my all round favourite. Love your work ShellyMcD :D Can't stop laughing!!

Me: ‘Clients due in meeting room no ** in 1hr, 3 light bulbs out please send engineer to fix …..’ Automated email saying ‘Engineer on his way asap…..will advise once job is completed’ Half hour later get automated email back saying ‘ job no *** completed and closed’ I email back saying (nicely of course)….’how can the job be closed when the work hasn’t been carried out?’ Email back (not automated) apologising for the confusion, and stating that they will ‘[b'>NIFTY ME [/b'>ASAP once the job has been completed’ Oh how I chuckled and even circulated that very nifty email to my close colleagues, wondering what on earth they meant by ‘Nifty’?! MUCH later cottoned on that NIFTY was a very poor spelling of NOTIFY ….. bless them, only in the UAE eh?!!!

At least you had it at Marina Mall… FCUK? SA: No… I am not sure. *looks around* Oh, F-U-C-K! Yes, we have ****! *takes me to the shelf* Me: Thanks! *and trying to keep my face normal* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! I know, I am being childish, but this was so funny :-D ! And once again a great example of Dubai’s entertaining customer service. After Boots I went to a few electronic shops, trying to find a camera that I have been desperately trying to find for months in Dubai. I visited several shops, but all the cameras were sold. In the last shop I visited, I almost got my camera. Me: Hi, I would like to get this camera here, do you have it? I want to buy it. *Pointing at the camera on display.* SA: Yes, we do have it madam! Me: Great!!! I’m so happy, it was sold out everywhere else! *jumping up and down of joy* SA: Yes madam, we also sold out. This only show piece. Me: :-( Well… When do you get more stock? SA: Never. Me: *WTF, this camera was just launched!*

Somewhere in Europe a few weeks ago... An old lady is just paying for her groceries, when one of the cinnamon buns she has taken, falls out from the plastic bag and hits the ground. The girl at the cashier is trying to help her and catch the bun, but accidentally kicks the bun and it rolls even further on the floor... Cashier: Madam, please take another bun, it must be really dirty now! Old lady takes the bun from the floor and puts it back in the plastic bag with the rest of the buns, saying: It's OK, these are for my guests... Teehee... *laughs out loud* Cashier: :\: :D

Had to deal with Govt Dept today and needed to fill in one of their forms called "Provider Declaration Form". I searched their website, checked my e-files, rang my colleagues, spoke to my boss, checked the website again and eventually found it titled "Residents Internal Transfer Form" :\: Silly me, should have looked there first.
