What Grinds My Gears....................................Jordanians!

Yes, Jordanians are a special species with weird qualities. They get on my nerves all day and every day for many reasons. some of them are:

Where else in the world you find a 14% "official" unemployment rate, while there are at least 1 million foreign workers? And no, Jordan is not one of the gulf countries. At least not yet.

Where else in the world would you find a country comprised of 20% former ministers, 20% former members of parliament and senate, and 20% former high ranking army generals and tribesmen, and the rest are their "cousins"?

Where else in the world would you find a population that spends more on mobile phones, satellite dishes and receivers, and smoking (hookahs and cigaerettes) than they would spend on Health care and Education combined?

Where else in the world would you see an AD in the daily newspapers congratulating a person on passing high school?

Where else in the world would you have Adult film theaters (الخيّام، رغدان، ... ) playing the national anthem before each show?

Where else in the world would you see underground water pipes being fixed right after paving streets?

Where else in the world would you see والله إنّا شعب بقرّف written on each Jordanian's forehead?
