A funny incident....it deals with how stressed a person can get.

I may live in the UAE but it doesn't mean I speak arabic often. Majority of my time is spent on my University campus where the professors and students speak english. The coursework and materials used are all in english. I get things done by speaking in english. So basically I barely speak arabic these days. haha.

I've been stressed out lately, so a group of friends made me go out to a cafe with them, to just chill and relax. The waiter came for our orders, and i was the last one to order. They have this really good lemon and mint drink. Its awesome. So in my head I was thinking " 3aseer Laymoon wa na3na3" (Lemon and mint juice).

So i'm telling the waiter i want this drink. He just gives me this queer look and says "Are you sure? I dont think we have it. "
me> "How can you not have it? I had it last week!"
the waiter> 'We dont have this drink!"
me>"yes you do!"

now the dialouge is in english ( the waiter and i were speaking in arabic before).
my friend> 'are you sure you want that?'
me> 'Yea im sure, its soooooooooo good'
my friends,with my brother and the waiter are just starring at me, like is this girl for real?
my friend > 'Are you sure you are not on CRACK?!'
me> "what?!? why would I be on crack for ordering lemon and mint juice?"

The whole group cracks up laughing. My brother falls off his chair. They all started yelling,
'Do you realize what you were trying to order?"
me> 'yea lemon and mint juice! WHATS SO DAMN FUNNY ABOUT THAT?'
my brother> 'no retard, you kept insisting on '3aseer laymoon wa ba'adonis' lemon and parsley juice!"

me>-turning bright red, and apologizes to the waiter and fixes my order-

You see how stressed out I am?
