15 Things That Are Almost A Crime In A Lebanese Household
Living under your Lebanese parents’ roof comes with strict rules that you have to abide by, otherwise you’re basically committing a crime. Here are some of them:
1. Locking your bedroom door for no reason
Privacy? Don’t know her.
2. Leaving the house unannounced
You think you can go out without letting your parents know where you’re going or with whom? Lol, nice try.
3. Coming back home unannounced
– Leh ma eltelle eno jeye 3al bet?
– Bayte mama…
4. Lowering the TV volume when your parents are watching the news
5. Eating out when there’s food at home
La meen hal akel n3amal? Mish haram?
6. Talking to your parents while they’re watching their mousalsal
– Mama
– Rou2 shway bado y2ella eno bihebba
7. Asking for food when there’s labne in the fridge
8. Sleeping in on Sundays
Unless you like waking up to hoover sounds and very loud phone calls.
9. Having a political or social debate with your parents
Nothing is more stubborn than Lebanese parents’ beliefs.
10. Taking too long in the shower
Ba3dak jouwa? Shu 3am ta3emel sarlak se3a feteh el may?
11. Inviting a friend over before you debrief your parents on them
12. Staying in your pyjamas all day long
13. Coming anywhere near the guests’ diyafeh
Hol el bonbon lal dyouf ou3a hada ymed eedo
14. Hiding from visitors
Tla3o mama salmo 3a tante Rabiha
15. Skipping out on household chores
Unless you want to hear the classic mahada hasis fiye and mahada bise3edne b hal bet.
