Arg! (how things go in Kuwait)

A couple days ago, I decided to get a few more tapes for the department vidoe camera. No problem, right? Right. I went to the nearby electronics shop. Here is the procedure:
1. Select the items you want to purchase.
2.Provide your phone number to the sales rep.
3. Go to the cashier (in this case, downstairs) to pay for the item.
4. Tell the cashier your phone number, pay for the item, take the receipt.
5. Go pick up your item (sometimes there is a designated pick-up point) in this case. the location wherein you first saw, touched and selected the product.

Can you understand how this may be a little frustrating?

keep in mind to get anywhere, you must go further than the designated location, complete a u-turn or a traffic circle, and return halfway back from where you came. Hence, ARG!!!\

Let's not even talk about traffic, lights, accidents, misuse of emergency lanes and spending over an hour getting home from work when it's normally under a half hour.

builds character, right? hope so.
