11 Times Lebanese People Thought Things Couldn’t Get Worse
Remember when we thought things couldn’t get worse, but the universe managed to prove us wrong?
Grab a box of tissues while we walk you through some of the painful memories that we now wish would come back.
1. When Saad El Hariri stripped for us
Diab has competition.
2. When Lebanon had no President for two years
Worth the wait?
3. When we heard Miss Lebanon’s contestants’ answers to the tough jury questions and wondered about the future of our society.
Yet, their answers > any politician’s speech.
4. When May Hariri decided to dispense the greatest tabbouleh recipe known to man
With our small smoll budgets, we will now need to use this recipe.
5. When The “Bayye A2wa Men Bayyak”: Ridiculous Dispute Broke Out In Parliament
If they were to go at it again, it would be, “Baye bye2bad bel dollar, w bayyak bel lebnene”.
Speaking of dollars…
6. When financial analysts warned years back that the Lira might be stable, but our economy isn’t.
And we thought to ourselves: tsoké mouheim el lira.
7. When the exchange rate hit 2,000 LL on the dollar
And then it just didn’t stop rising.
8. When Tele Liban kept rerunning Al 3asifa tahob maratayn
Tol3it el 3asfe bet’heb kaza mara….
9. When LBC announced the 11th season of Star Academy
Were they testing our patience? Because kena tl3ena Nominé.
10. When the same political parties got elected
Okay, bas Libnan ra7 yerja3, definitely.
11. When the government proposed charging for WhatsApp to cover the budget deficit
Why did we ever complain? 7a2on…
