12 Things That Are Guaranteed To Piss Off Your Lebanese Mom

Let’s face it, we’ve all pissed off our Lebanese moms at some point. While we try to avoid doing anything that could upset her, sometimes we just can’t help it.

Use this as a list of things to *avoid* doing.

1. Shutting down her lunch suggestion

“Badkon 2a3mol shawrabet khodra lyom?”

“La2 ma 3abele saraha”

2. Organizing her Tupperwares INCORRECTLY

Actually, you put it back exactly where she placed it initially…but somehow, she noticed.

3. Stepping on freshly mopped floors

Unspoken rule: ma ted3aso 3ala ared mashtoofe ella eza 3abelkon emkon toshtofkon.

4. Ordering delivery when there is labne bel barrad

Lebanese moms take it personal when you order out.

5. Leaving the house without a jacket

“KEEF YA3NE BTEDHARO MNEL BET BALA JACKET WLEK BTENMORDO!!!!!!!”

6. Politely disagreeing with her

No. Absolutely not. If she says your aunt is a horrible person for not LOVING her ma2loubeh, you must agree and not defend your aunt whatsoever.

7. Sleeping past 10 AM

“Kholes l nhar w ba3don neymeen hal wled”

8. Complaining about literally anything

You’re not allowed to complain because shu na2eskon exactly???

9. Failing to answer her calls before she even makes the call

Ye3ne eza da2etelkon 3al 1:02pm lezem tkoono already raddayto 3al 1:01pm.

10. Telling her you’re busy when she desperately needs you to see what’s wrong with her phone

You are a horrible child for not immediately running to your mom’s aid. You ungrateful piece of sh*t. Emmak tej rasak btetrok kel shi KEL SHI w betse3eda.

11. Saying you don’t want to get married yet

How dare you deny her the chance to have grandchildren?

12. Not expressing to her how crazy delicious her food is

It’s not enough to clear the plate. You have to tell her just how amazing of a cook she is. And that is ALSO not enough. You should also tell her how much better her cooking is than any other mom in Lebanon.
