hey wuffles. How you feeling today? It's all about vunerability and your perceived position. He was utterly confident you wouldnt do anything about it, and relished his 'power' over you. He strikes me as someone who has got away with this before and was confident he would this time too. I think the first time something like this happens to us we go into a kind of shock...you just can't believe that this is actually happening. So, stunned, you make every excuse for the behaviour, take the shame and the guilt onto yourself. Men who behave this way actually rely on that reaction to get away with it. You did the right thing honey, though I'm a bit iffy on this letter of apology, keep the job but away from customers bizzo. I know it makes you feel better that he hasnt lost his job, but from your description he strikes me as a type that will find ways no matter what, so is still a risk at large. Big hugs, and hope today is a good one. A bit better thanks-more angry than anything now though I did double check my door was locked-which I never do. You are right-he was overly confident so perhaps he had done something similar before. He kept assuring the security guys he couldn't have said anything as he spoke no English-but he had no trouble asking me for my mobile etc....Just back from hospital for something unrelated and noticed our poor security guard was struggling to write up an incident report-obviously a big challenge for him as his English is problematic-feel sorry others like him have been put out too.

Cafe au lait, what time was it that you took the cruise? Am looking for stuff to take Aged P to when it's not too hot. [b'>She hates it here, it's too foreign and there's desert.[/b'> LOL....just spat my tea at the screen. Sorry abc. Probably not funny to be living with that mindset, but a bl**dy funny read from where I'm sitting. :D Reminds me of a trip we took to Petra in Jordan-the bus broke down in the middle of nowhere and one disgruntled American tourist kept loudly complaining there was too much sand in the desert.........could cheerfully have throttled him-what was he expecting?!

wuffles, I have never met you, but I've read your posts for some time and found what you've said to be thoughtful and helpful, so I was shocked to find that you were the OP on this thread. Do not feel bad about this. You did absolutely the right thing. Through no fault of yours, or any other woman's, this guy is not a suitable man to be going into women's homes to do maintenance stuff. He comes with a serious health warning and you had to do what you did. If you had said nothing, you would have put a lot of other women at risk. Imagine if someone had done that to you in Australia! Would you have been worried about the consequences for him there? No! I'm guessing that you would have been completely indignent and outraged at his audacity! Just because this guy may seem to be disadvantaged by his circumstances, that is NOT a justification for his behaviour. Thanks I am feeling more indignant now I must admit. What got me was as soon as I felt uncomfortable I rang BH and he still didn't stop when it was obvious I had reported him-then the security guard came and while he went to talk to his co-worker on the roof he continued to misbehave (he must have been momumentally thick skinned or sure of his word being believed against a woman's)-wasn't impressed with the guard either for leaving me there clearly distressed to go talk to the other guy who hadn't done anything......but that is another story....apparently the security guard needed permission to enter my apartment from the landlord-helpful-not

Wuffles, don't feel bad, you did the right thing and have hopefully prevented this guy doing something worse at a later date. People like this are good at looking pitiful when found out but they are not sorry for what they did only for having been found out. It's better there's a note made in his file and he's put in a job out of the way of customers. Let's hope the warning will scare him enough to not try this on with any other women outside of his work. He wasn't loking too pitiful-told his supervisot his ladder brushed my skirt and he had said sorry-nothing else happened.....which in itself was implausible given where the ladder was

Baklava should be made with almonds. I know the one in C4 is made with peanuts. Not sure about the one in WAfi Gourmet. When you've had the real good stuff (brought in by family) the peanut one is just not as nice. I've heard that Hallab is good for sweets and cakes. I think they vary from Carrefour to Carrefour-personally I like it made with walnuts

missyuae, I am Muslim, wear a headscarf and abaya, don't wear makeup unless I'm out with my husband, I keep my eyes down when I'm out - meaning I do everything I can think of to NOT attract attention to myself - and I still have been "propositioned" many times. It was WAY worse when I lived on Deira side. I had an old coot following me around in the grocery store, then he followed me all the way back to my apartment building (thank God the building's front door locked or he would have been in after me in the lobby). Had a man follow me in his car when I was on foot - I was walking in broad daylight in a busy area and had no clue he was doing what he was doing. He got my attention and informed me that he had been "following me for some time" because he was "attracted" to me. Had another man following me in a car near the Hyatt on Deira side while I was walking. Had 2 men (at different times) follow me on foot. If I crossed to the other side of the road they would do the same - it was very disconcerting. I was "new" at the time and didn't have enough street smarts I guess to just get in their faces and tell them to back off or threaten them with the police. Had a Saudi "gentleman" (or at least he had Saudi plates on his car) follow me in his car as I was walking out of the Mercato parking lot. I informed him I do not speak to strange men - he still didn't back off. So I started screaming at him that I would call my husband if he didn't back off. I would say that perhaps Arab women who cover (maybe, I'm not trying to be racist here!) are afforded more respect by the perverts of the world. But a white woman in hijab from my experience is fair game to them too. edited by Laura74 on 26/06/2011 actually it has been proven a million times that makeup and clothing has nothing to do with being harassed or eventually raped. if those happen, it should not be accounted as the woman's fault in any case. why would it be our fault? none of us asks for being harassed or raped. It is the man's fault, who cannot behave, and who assumes that misconceptions about clothing will serve him as excuses for unacceptable actions. excuses work both way, if you almost naked that is "too arousing" if you are completely covered that is also "too arousing". lets stop it and face the fact that there is no connection. Not sure what to think-I was well covered-with a long skirt on-and as I said am over 50-doubt this guy was even 20-so don't imagine I would be very enticing!

You did the right thing Wuffles! I know what you mean about feeling guilty though, as you feel that as these workers are from poorer backgrounds, they will lose their jobs and not be able to provide for their families, etc. Something happened to me when on holiday in India and I had to make a complaint to management about it and they told me the guy would probably be fired - I honestly feel guilty about it to this day. But you have to take into account, that in your case, this guy could have a history of doing these things and may have even taken things further with another who was too sacred to say anything. You had to say something really, so don't feel bad.... I felt I had to as there are lots of single nurses and such in our buildings too-not sure how they would have fared as he was getting increasingly pushy-I don't think he had been with the company long-he was doing other inapprorite things like wandering around the apartment looking at everything-the workers we ususally have are in and out quickly and hardly even give you eye contact

Wuffles, good on you for not feeling "helpless" and please don't feel bad for getting help from the security. This kind of pervert does not deserve any consideration or sympathy. As other posters had pointed out, he really got off lightly, police involvement is what he deserves. In this kind of situation, we all react different, so you did the right thing. I remember at a concert in Abu Dhabi and a guy standing near me was trying to masturbate against the women around him. I was so shocked and scared and kicked myself later for not reporting him to the security guards. Eventhough I warned the women around me, but I should have gotten the police! Felt so stupid! I think you feel like it can't really be happening so you don't react like you would back 'home'-not that I can envisage it happening back home anyway

Hi All, my self and my husband recently had a wills drawn up by British guy in a local law firm. The law apparently changed last year and your UAE will now has to be in dual English & Arabic, attested by a local notary and stamped by the ministry of foreighn affairs and the justice ministry. Without this non of your assets here are protected and if something happens to both husband & wife children under 18 are not protected and could be stuck in a local orphanage here for as long as it takes to sort out custody battles. (edited by mods) Give it a rest-if you want to advertise pay to go on the classifieds....

Not sure if it is still the case, but in times past, in certain cultures it was a sign of prosperity to be a bit chubby......

Live along the beach in Jumeirah 3 in a compound with 6 other villas with a mixture of expats and Emiratis. There is nothing like waking up to the sound of the two mosques on either side of us as the sun start to illuminate the ocean waves. I love sitting outside with coffee and watching all the kites from the kite surfing dance together int he wind. It is very quiet, peaceful and from every window all you can see is water. There are a few good small shops along the beach road where we are, reem al bawadi which is a favorite restaurant is just across the road, the cake box is a constant favorite and there are pharmacies and small groceries nearby for picking up milk, eggs etc. We like being close to mina a salam and al qsar and of course spend a lot of time by the water each day. The cons definitely are that along with peace and solitude comes the need to drive everywhere and the loss of being able to walk anywhere which I miss. But all in all, its a pleasant place to be. Though truth be told, if I could choose, the new yorker in me would opt for the house in the consulate area of bur dubai described by an earlier poster. I would like to feel like I lived in another country! Instead I live down the road from Subway :-) hello new yorker....i love your city...can i ask...is there alot of places around jumeriah....schools are close...but what about other needed things? and is it too close to crowded areas like the hotels etc..that are also in jumeriah? thanks Give me the hot bread ovens on the street over Subway any day-though I am sure the beach is nice too-love our mosques too as they echo across the Creek

Thanks for the info ladies, I really enjoyed my train ride alone with my book BUT this one taxi driver nearly ruined my day. I was leaving from Dubai Mall to MOE when I remembered I ended up buying the red once off card since DH promised to fetch, anyway, the taxi driver refused to take me to the Dubai Mall metro-saying he has been in the queue for a whole hour so he was not about to take such short trip!! Worst things was even when I threatened to call the RTA number on the taxi and complain-he was not bothered. I was rescued by a security guard from the mall who chased him away from the queue and I hopped on the next taxi in line! The meter was not even 10AED when I got off the taxi but I gave him enough for a tip as well! You have to pay a minimum of 10dhs-even if the meter says 5-hope you reported the taxi driver who refused to take you-they can't refuse a fare-the guys contolling the raxi queues do a magnificent job at Dubai Mall don't they <em>edited by wuffles on 15/06/2011</em>
