Pakistani TV serials. Had been tolerating the weird love triangles and rectangles, but today ( on Ijaazat), one guy asked a girl to sleep in his room, promising he won't touch her, only because he wants to make the girl's bf jealous. What crap! Done with Pakistani TV dramas.

You should only watch drama serials that are actually based on a novel, and is limited to 12-13 episodes max.

This guy seems to atleast have an absurd level of confidence.

But in all honesty the guy seems a bit of a tosser.

The Walking Dead

Seriously, how many episodes can you run about a show where zombies are chasing you? Every night it's on tele and every episode seems like a rerun.

I know this is a popular show - so any fans out there - please explain and I might give it a shot.

In the words of my current phil TA - "The ones who talk the most frequently and unabashedly are not always the smartest ones."

One look at that guy, Saqs - heck, even if you see the way he posed for photos, and you'll see what I'm talking about and agree with me..

Can you please remove the full stop in your Venue and make it 'Lahore, Pakistan' ?

There shouldn't be one there; it annoys me.

The British Pakistani look.

Basically Sham Idrees, Zayn Malik, Amir Khan etc.

Short, spiky hair thanks to a truckload of gel, fancy facial hair, obsession with sunglasses and chains. Love wearing silk shirts with tight jeans and Hermes belts.

Sometimes, its a cheap imitation of Zayn Malik's hair which itself is a cheap imitation of the likes of Bale and Reus.

Often obsessed with body building, which is often a consequence of the Napoleon Complex (Short man syndrome).

This might sound generalized, but I have too seen many of this lot overs the year in the UK, and probably half of the British Pakistanis on this forum look like that.

Oh my God. I need to let this out.

Cheap, lafantar, desperate desi guys.

I may have mentioned elsewhere that I was chairing an international Model United Nations. Had students from Indonesia, China, elsewhere as well. Quite a success, really. But there was this one guy from Pakistan (a US student) and my dear God, he was the cheapest person I have ever, ever had the misfortune of coming across :facepalm:

I could tell from his accent - that definitive, pathetic attempt to fake an accent, while not being able to string more than 3 words together in a coherent sentence - that he wasn't very educated. I still let that slide by.

That guy sized me and my fellow Lahori student as if we were pieces of meat. All this, whilst we were dressed in formal suits, head to toe. The first thing he said to me (and that, when I was taking informal questions on committee procedure) was - 'I read about you in the background guide - Do you live alone? All alone? Or is your family here?'

What the hell?! :80:

Over the course of two days, I proceeded to be the receiver of his gandi nazrein for these past few days - but today I found out he had been trying his hand in asking out/flirting with other females in the committee - of course, in the grossest, crudest manner possible..

Absolutely disgusting..

also blocking them doesn't work as they figure out

Lol, I noticed my Asian friend always puts up or is linked in statuses by his relatives in Pakistan. Like really freaking long ones.

Hey dont judge, if they didnt want a nosy Irish guy reading about that time they watched the WC together they shouldnt have made it public

Not all Pakistani guys are desperate weirdos (dont say that, 96*, we have to end up marrying one in the end :facepalm: )... But man, this guy was next-level creepy.

Here's what's worse. He's liked every single picture of mine and that Lahori friends', taken by the society from their FB page. Even the ones where its just the two of us talking, or looking seriously ahead. Even from the time when I was not present in his committee.

Add creepy stalker to the list.

The guy seems seriously lacking in the arts of seduction. I'm sure he is going home empty handed or in other words with no wins to his score. Someone should advise him to join PP and get the advice of our experts on such delicate matters. Of he could just browse previously made legendary threads on such issues if they still around that is.
 
^ I'm sure he thinks he was quite a success - he came for the cheap thrills and ogling, he got it. There was no substance nor personality to him in any form anyway. Anything more than that would have been a plus.

Poor, poor Hoors..


Reminds me of that joke. Maulana Diesel made it to Jannat and was given a Hoor - Angelina Jolie.
Maulana couldn't believe his luck. He asked an angel "Dear me! What good deed did I ever do to deserve such a reward?"
The angel meanwhile, replied - "You didn't do anything. This is Angelina's punishment for all her sins."

The moral of the story being become a fat bigoted and corrupt Mullah like Diesel and you'll get the likes of Jolie as punishment in Jannat. No wonder. Lucky Mullahs!

Okay, now that's definitely creepy. Borderline scary.

And what I said isn't exactly wrong. Most of them are.

"We have to end up marrying one in the end :facepalm:" just made everything a whole lot worse. :/ I don't want to think about it.

Pet hate - gun fight scenes in movies. Literally nobody gets this right barring a few good scenes in movies such as Heat or crazy like The Matrix.

But even still, the minute the gunfight scenes come on screen, I tune out of the movie and it just ruins any momentum crested by the story.

Ditto for car chases.

I think these two scene types are just used as ploys to fill out film time for the sake of it.
 
^ going on some of the previous posts:

when people confuse you for being a different ethnicity when its quite obvious im not from that group

Ive been confused for being white and Hispanic in the past few weeks. Hispanic I understand due to the brown tinge to the skin color. This is despite having no facial features or otherwise which Hispanics generally have so its obvious im not.

but the girl who thought I was white must be a bit blind. maybe ive lost my color due to the winter
 
It annoys me that calling something 'gay' is socially unacceptable, but 'lame' and 'dumb' are perfectly ok.

I would take it as a compliment. They're a good-looking people.

I'm never mistaken for Persian, although I'd like to be. I've been called Arab, Turk, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. I'm never quite sure whether to be offended or not.
 
Once I ordered a breaded-eggplant calzone from DP Dough's. They're a small chain mainly found in college towns. It's hard to find breaded-eggplant calzones elsewhere. I believe the purists frown at it. The breading goes soft, they say.

Anyhow, the delivery guy showed up, and after I had paid (with my usual generous tip of course, because I'm so strongly left-wing and support proletarians like him with monetary donations) he asked me, "So, what part of India are you from?"

I sat back, crossed my knuckles, rested my chin on my hands, and asked him, "So, what part of Quebec are you from?"

He fled without another word.

I don't mind the concept of political correctness. But if you are going demand it from others, at least ensure that you follow it correctly yourself.

I would not attribute it to just laziness. In addition to grading, most TAs also create assignments/exams, hold office hours, answer student emails, and give lectures occasionally. Depending on the class size, it requires at least 20 hours per week, often more. All while being full time students. Luckily, I TA'd for a programming class, meaning I could usually automate the grading process; I sympathize with the ones that have to grade essays and other written assignments.

I've been mistaken for everything under the sun. Mexican, Arab, Indian, Persian, Cuban, Indonesian, Filipino to name a few. I can tolerate everything but the one I dislike the most is being mistaken for an Arab.

We have a major test coming up in two weeks where we are to write a certain format of 'analytical' essays, as this particular assignment. And this guy isn't even giving back the essays, he's been 'half-way through' since the past 3 weeks (submitted it in early Feb for cryin' out loud!) :facepalm:

Arabs mistake me for an Arab, which comes as a bit of a surprise. I can understand the Yanks doing it, bless their cotton pickin' hearts (see what I did there?) because they really can't tell nationalities apart. But Gulf Arabs come up to me and start speaking Arabic. I tell them in broken Arabic that I don't speak Arabic, and they ask in broken English, "you are from which country?" I tell them, they walk away in disgust, I flash the finger, and life goes on.

The other day one of them told me Pakistanian was a very difficult language for him to understand. I'm sure it is.

It is a win, but the trouble is, in spite of my rakish, dashing, tharki buddha good looks, I'm still not pretty enough to be a Turk. It weighed so heavily on my conscience I told the mistaken party I wasn't one.
 
When your Dad tells that when I was your age, I would often ride a bus to go to college and was adept and fixing most of the problems with the cars myself, unlike you who is only interested in driving and can't do anything beyond changing a punctured tyre.

After a brief pause, he says 'you are going say something clever, go on, say something clever' and walks out of the room, leaving you stranded on the stop and you reflect over what just happened.
 
something to me in the bus and i was like wth are they saying and gave that staring look while getting down the bus. My husband later told me they were inviting us to their house...:facepalm:
 
People who 'hate' and have strong opinions and stress themselves on trivial things that other's like/dislike...and judge them through their tinted glasses.
