I’ve lived in Dubai my whole life, never seen it rain here like this. Hope everyone gets home safe and as soon as possible. Very very grateful for
@DubaiPoliceHQ

@DCDDubai
today, not an easy time for them at all.

Sheikh Zayed Road has been at a standstill due to flooding. Commuters have been stuck hours trying to get home. Really really really hope it clears soon, but not sure how this works with the rain continuing on.

Subscribers: Can we have WhatsApp calls and/or Skype like the rest of the world please?
du: No, but here is 5G.
Subscribers: But what’s the point...
du: Ok, here is 5G-enabled smartphone. The issue has been resolved. Buy now.
We’re proud to have been the first to provide a live experience of the 5G network in the UAE at the fastest speed of 1.26 Gbps & first to provide pre-registration.
Today we’re pleased to give the first batch of Axon Pro 10 phones for free to our pre-registered customers! 💙🙏🏼
Ok who left the mist machine on last night? Great view from the balcony but scary on the roads. Please be extra careful while driving this morning!

This has made me sad: Stuck in traffic this morning and my taxi driver begins apologizing profusely. I tell him traffic isn’t his fault. He says it’s the first time in his 6 years as a driver that a customer hasn’t yelled at him because his choice of route is making them late.
Incoming, on social media: avalanche of photos of boarding passes and/or photos in of shoes and/or glasses aka look at me, legs stretched out in business class, holding flute of bubbly. ✈️ 👠👟🥂

Why, why, why is it so impossible for courier companies to call ahead? 'Hello, I am here now because I said I will come between 10 and 5' is just ridiculous. Do you seriously assume I just sit there all day waiting for you to show up?

@DubaiAirports
, flattery will get you everywhere! ‘Do you work in Bollywood?’ the immigration officer asks. Me (with a straight face): ‘No.’ Him: ‘Oh but I thought you were a famous actress.’ 😂

Sitting next to set of people who are having a brilliant conversation I cannot resist sharing....
Some agency dude: "Look, usually agencies charge to pitch to clients as they have to do a lot of customer research. But I'm not charging you because I don't work like that."
Note: He's got a camera person/prompter who is helping him remember his lines. Also, it's 7.50pm, he's wearing sunglasses and is complaining about being exhausted. "The food here is 'out of this world' so make sure you like my video," he says. No dude, you're out of this world.
Wandering around the airport, waiting to board, and I think I may just have met

I kid you not, this lady bought 21 burritos. I had to ask why, and she said she’ll take them home and freeze them to last her for meals all month! 🌯🌮
"Qattan vowed to reveal any brands that have severed relationships with her, so that her followers can boycott them."- If she's threatening brands, that should make severing ties with her a no brainer. I really, really pity anyone who has to work for her.
I have decided to share the best marketing messages I receive this month. One amazing deal for each day. Be kind and share yours too. 😉😇
Best Ramadan offer (Day 1)
Why do some journalists waste microphone time with an ‘I don’t have a question but I just wanted to compliment you’ speech. Also, we didn’t need to hear about your life. Ask a question or pass the mic on! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Will be counting plastic bottle sightings for this week of

First one today, at the metro station vending machine this morning.
Count = 1
Share yours with me too!

People who consider suicide don’t want to die, they just want their pain to end. Take a moment to pray someone in pain always reaches out to you. Be a person that helps them hold on.
