Rant Student center sinks

• Upvotes

Reaallyyy irrelevant but this pissed me off today, the bathrooms sinks in student center are designed really stupidly, the water comes out from a couple small holes that are really pressurized, so you end up inevitably getting a bunch of water on your clothes and barely manage to wash your hands, theres literally no way around it, and it isnt just student center ive seen this in many places

Rant Lusail Parking Situation

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

We (employees working at a tower in Lusail) used to park in the Fifa free zones (the empty patches of land) but they have been closing one by one and the road side parkings are usually full.

Right now there are no more free zones available and the paid metro parkings will cost like 10% of our monthly salary.

The tower itself is also charging us about 700 a month to park, so we are a bit confused and lost on what to do. Parking further away is also not convenient due to the distance and heat.

Consider this as just a rant. It would have been lovely if the city was planned with more parking spaces in mind.

Question Has anyone reported late-night roadworks in Qatar?

4 Upvotes

Has anyone ever called Ashghal or the police to complain about noisy roadworks in a residential area late at night? Did they actually do anything or ask the workers to stop?

They’re digging right in front of our building, and it’s already 1 AM, but the work is still ongoing. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and whether reporting it actually helped.

At this point, should I just consider it “music to my ears”? 😂

Question How can we redeem our Lulu happiness points?

Hi guys,

I believe the title is self-explanatory, but to clarify, Lulu has a “Happiness” thing that gives about 1% cashback when you buy stuff. I believe that I have reached a good amount and I wanted to redeem them.

Information Tiffin lady in Qatar

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am currently working a 9-5 job and find it incredibly difficult to cook home meals every day. Because I am always on the go, I struggle to eat healthy, which often results in eating low-quality meals or binging at night because I am not fully satiated during the day.

I initially wanted to subscribe to a curated fitness meal plan (like Calo or Dieture) to help me lose weight, eat clean, and increase my protein intake. However, these commercial corporate plans are highly expensive, ranging from QAR 1,500 to QAR 2,000 monthly. Honestly, ordering takeout every day or buying premium groceries doesn't even cost that much!

Because of this, I am looking for a budget-friendly alternative, such as a tiffin lady, a local mess service, or a home-cooked food business that can prepare and deliver healthy meals to my location on a monthly subscription basis. Of course, regular monthly payment will be provided, but I am working within a specific budget.

Anyone else having issues with Hayya visas lately? Applied on Oct 2 and it's been stuck on pending ever since. Last time I applied, I got approved in just a few hours lol.

Was planning to catch the Qatar F1 GP with some friends, but now I'm wondering if they're even approving tourist visas at the moment. Anyone had any luck recently?

Question Trying to update Iphone 13 but it just shows verifying update

0 Upvotes

Since yesterday my phone doesn’t have any service and I can’t update it to the updated version of IOS as it shows verifying update and that goes on for 1 hour. While my phone shows that, I can’t use my phone so I stop the update. Took it to a store and they’re saying they have no idea?🙂. I have storage , there is no issue with that. Anyone has any idea on what is happening and why.

Question Need a help on what to do

7 Upvotes

So i recently (in August) bought a phone through oreedoo on installment , i got a message from their official app and i checked for eligibility using my qid and i was eligible and bought a new phone, the installment get added to my oreedoo postpaid bill every month and they only allow one device per id or customer

And i bought the phone on August 29 th and the bill for August was generated before it so the amount for the first installment was not added

But the next month September when the bill generated i saw 2 installment or doublt amount of monthly amount so i thought maybe its because one id for September and one for August as i bought the phone after the bill generated,so i didn't think of it and paid

But this month for October when the bill was generated i again saw the double amount of monthly installment

So i messaged the official oreedoo customer care WhatsApp number and raised my concern also called their customer care number and raised an issue

During the conversation they asked me to verify that if i have selected the number of installments and i checked and verified

Then he asked me to verify whether i have purchased 2 devices(Note: the oreedoo website said one device per id or customer so there is no way i can get 2) so i shared him my invoice and it showed one but he asked me to verify the bill for the October month and it shows i have 2 same devices under my name which i dont have

I dont mind paying for two devices if i had gotten two but i didn't

So has anyone else faced this issue ,if yes what did you do and ,if no does anyone know what to do

Information Sharing a free tool I made that compares every Ooredoo and Vodafone plan. Turns out I was overpaying a lot

17 Upvotes

Got fed up trying to compare plans on Ooredoo and Vodafone’s websites, so I made this: baqatqatar.com

You pick how you use your phone and it shows you the cheapest plan that actually covers it, and how much you’d save compared to what you’re on now. Has monthly, prepaid and data only. Prices update by themselves every day from their sites.

Found out I’m paying around 11k a year more than I need to. Great feeling.

I initially made this for myself, but I thought I'd just share it with everyone else. So, it’s free, it has zero ads, it requires no sign up whatsoever, and it's not connected to either company.

Tell me if something’s wrong or missing. I'm still making improvements!

Question What’s the point of these frequent ticket checks in tram/metro?

31 Upvotes

I am genuinely baffled as to why they check tickets on metro and Lusail tram so often. You can only get on after passing turnstiles and there’s always someone so it’s not like you can jump them. I’m sometimes getting checked 4 times in a day, even twice on the same ride in the same train by different people. I’ve lived in cities where public transport was more expensive and would get checked few times in a YEAR.

I was trying to ship some custom clothing to Qatar and the shipping costs more than the product itself, shipping to the US it costs 3 times less despite Qatar and China being closer to each other than US and China, oh yeah the shipping times are also way more.
