Things that annoy me: - People who rush their prayers and race the person next to them - People who pass you in the street, look you in the eye, and don’t say hello - The sight of a respectable person walking down the street in the morning, accompanied by someone in galabiyya and jacket - People who criticise but never do anything - People who crunch on seeds from morning to night - Men who demand a 500-pound dowry when they aren’t worth a plate of beans - Girls who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol - Women who start turning the house upside down and sweeping and scrubbing months before eid - People who can afford their own but demand bread meant for the poor - People we send our magazine to who send it back without opening it Al-Kalim 1945 #karaite #egypt #jewish #grumpyoldmen #يهود_مصر #قراؤون #القاهرة #قزقزة #طورة_فول
