Arabs and email. What the hell is wrong with them!

first of all, every single Arab probably has 17 different email IDs with different providers. They just have a knack for forgetting passwords, and after 15 emails sent to them, they will tell you wallahe ma wasilni. Anyways, I have accumulated a few observations of the Arab-Email Experience:

1) Arabs never use the Subject line. What the hell is all that about. keep it
mysterious? the element of surprise is not going to deter me from deleting your email habibi!!!

2) replying to emails: how hard is it to simply click on the reply button!?! do you want me to call you or send you a pigeon?

3) forwarding emails. I mean come on losers. not all emails you receive are interesting and funny. some (look up 99%) are actually stupid. I would like to thank allah 10 times every morning without you telling me to do so.

4) the Email ID's. what's up with --> _ <-- between your names?

5) the excessive use of emoticons and rich text is too ugly

6) transliterating is sooo 2007. use yamli or something else you bricks...

and so many others. I am just too pissed right now.

When I see an FW: at the beginning of the subject line, I'm already 90% inclined to erase the email.

mab3oos said...

maher,
they do. I hate those people.

Lost Within,
Absolutely, go ahead. Those FWs are worst than spam.

Hani,
I am 100% inclined! It is to be deleted right away.

COMPLETELY AGREE, esp with #1.. what the HELL do you need 16 Yahoo ID's for?

Arabs are "unique" about everything, why expect them to be normal about emails?

Don't agree with no.6 tho. Yes, there is Yamli but it's ALOT easier (for me at least, and prob anyone who's not 100% fluent in Arabic) to read/write transliterated Arabic to read/write in Arabic text.
At least heek b2dar afham iza 7ada boktob bl 3arabi instead of taking forever to read the arabic letters!! :)
