There are quite a few things that prevent Lebanon from reaching its full potential of being that unique gem of a place, and those are the things that we really need to get over as Lebanese people. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>1. The Three Butterflies <\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media1.tenor.com\/images\/a06eba22053f7281b30c995ecdbfb9fe\/tenor.gif?itemid=5394142\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  What&#8217;s up with the three butterflies increasing in size on the back of cars? Why is this a thing? Did someone distribute these for free at some point in time? Are the people who have them on their car all part of a secret cult? Illuminati?<\/p>\n<p>  <b>2. Stories With the DJ<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media1.tenor.com\/images\/3a78e1644a8174670dec6c2407a71690\/tenor.gif?itemid=5316490\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  We are so done with unnecessarily long videos of party people next to the DJ posted repeatedly on our feeds. Please stop. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>3. Honking All the Time<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/78.media.tumblr.com\/7ddd1495cf0d0cd1e8729dbc8df34894\/tumblr_olci0rWFOA1w4gajro1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  We get it, you hate that there&#8217;s traffic.

Being Overexcited about Sports<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/LUT78vTafaOLS\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  If you like sports, there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. But if you\u2019re fighting with your neighbours for supporting someone else, or worse yet, creating offensive chants because you care oh so much about a group of men chasing a ball, it\u2019s time to grow up, maybe? <\/p>\n<p>  <b>6. The Cartier Bracelets<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/xoYuH9vWkZ8Y\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  If it were two years ago, you could get away with the unoriginality of this trend. But it\u2019s 2018, get a new trend that will make all of y\u2019all look like clones. Please. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>7. Facebook Tags<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/FCgcgyDCc4ReE\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  If I see one more \u201cTag Your Friend Whose Name Starts With \u2026\u201d posts on my timeline, I might just deactivate completely and withdraw into a dark deep internet-less cave. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>8. Wearing I <3 Last Place I Visited Shirts<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media0.giphy.com\/media\/exvOBzzrcHFte\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  We get it, you\u2019ve travelled. Or, you bought a shirt to make it look like you travelled from your neighbourhood\u2019s $1 store. Although you might think that these shirts make you seem worldly and well-travelled, they&#8217;re just plain tacky. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>9.
