Only in Lebanon, you can find drivers who decide to stop in the middle of the road, go down buy a chocolate or a drink, or maybe pay a visit and keep everyone behind them stuck ..

You can learn to enjoy it though, if you can hold your nerves and stay calm. It happened to me today, i just turned off my car and waited for the old man and his wife to put down their stuff before they cleared the way …

Only in Lebanon :-)

    WOW!

    Now that I got used to the wide streets here in California, the streets of Beirut seem really narrow when I look at them.

    Not just in Lebanon, you should see New York and Philadelphia…its common, the difference is in the US you will get fined.

    Nagger…

    Do you expect the old man and women to jump in the car and drive away…

    I live in paris and this happens everyday, no one nags about it or shouts…

    If it was young people chitchatting then yes i would go out the car and kick their asses…

    but those are old people, the only thing you should have done is go out the car and help them in

    Why attacking N guys? He is saying it happens a lot in Lebanon and it is annoying but this time it was old people so he shut the car and waited. I don’t think he did anything wrong. But it is not always old people, some people are bala zo2 and they stop all traffic for a man2ouche!

    Well what is worst that most of the times few meters ahead there will be a good parking slot, but why to bother!! Waiting a minute is fine, but there are people at my place that would park on the road for hours causing some serious traffic ….
