18 Things You’ll Never Hear A Lebanese Person Say

If you’re Lebanese, you’ll never be caught dead saying any of the below statements.


1. “My WiFi connection is so fast!”

Said no Lebanese person, ever.


2. “I just LOVE this summer heat!”



Especially with all these power cuts. So refreshing.


3. “Our politicians are so efficient!”

Actually, some people do say that, but they’re not ok.


4. “Our streets are so clean!”


Garbage crisis WHO?


5 “I should leave the house 30 minutes earlier to make sure that I make it on time!”

Because punctuality is not our strong suit.


6. “The traffic is so bad, let’s just walk.”



If we could drive from our kitchen to our living room, we would.


7. “I love driving through Hamra!”


8. “I love giving my car to valet!”



And I don’t feel ripped off at all by them!


9.“It took me 30 minutes from the mountains to the sea.”

Who started this rumor anyway?


10. “Pool entry fees are SO AFFORDABLE in Lebanon!”


You might want to reconsider.


11. “Driving around Beirut makes me feel calm and at peace.”

You can hear the honking that comes with this sentence.


12. “My phone bill was so cheap this month!”




13. “I think I overdressed.”


14. “I don’t like fattoush and tabboule.“


15. “Unica and Tarboosh are so overrated.”



Legit our only source of happiness in this country.


16. “I don’t have road rage.”


17. “I did not hit a single speed bump or joura on my way here.”



If only.


18. “I just withdrew my money in dollars from the bank.”

LOL. Nice one.
