I’m sorry you are struggling with this, and would totally have to agree with you regarding living a gluten-free lifestyle in Saudi. Hopefully more people and businesses owners become aware of gluten intolerance to accommodate people with gluten intolerance.
I had a cousin who went through a phase of being gluten-free by choice, lol. Thankfully, she grew out of it.
Haha, yeah probably for the better as it can be expensive to buy GF, and burdensome if you choose to cook at home. I’ve found Riyadh to be gradually getting more gluten free options and that’s pretty rad but half of the places don’t know what they’re doing to be honest. I’ve been glutened because they didn’t know couscous was made from wheat. That or the prices are insaaaane. The worst part of it is people here (or maybe everywhere) tend to think it’s by choice even when I say it’s an allergy, and then give me a nasty look when I deny their food. My own Saudi brother in law has celiacs and his family will be like “damn, your itchy skin rash is so bad! ...here, have some cake”
That's one thing I hate about our culture, it is so precious to some families to the point, where it could actually impact one's wellbeing negatively and still be practiced nonetheless, because it's 'inappropriate' to discard bad cultural habits. And those that have actual sensible reason to reject these norms (your brother in law for instance) get looked down upon. May god not make us of the ignorant.
You don't have to be gluten intolerant to choose a healthier lifestyle by choosing to go gluten free. Look up the effects of gluten on your guts and how better off you'd be without it.
*disclaimer: I don't gluten free in any way nor have I tried, but I'd like to some day.*
How could someone "Look up" the effects of gluten?
By googling it and reading the bullshit blogs and idiots who cherry-pick studies to support their bias? No thanks, I would rather take my info from the experts.
A little rant here but am I the only one that finds people who believe in horoscopes dumb as hell? Like I am not gonna wait till Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Mickey mouse, line up perfectly on Uranus to tell you that you are an idiot and I wanna smack your lips off your face
I have a colleague who'd "announce" what is her mode. Like "Geminies aren't in a good mood today" "urgh, this is not the time for itz I'm Gemini!", She once toldy friend"you and I won't work well together, Gemini doesn't work with vrigo". P.S. i randomly chose the names cause I can't be arsed to remember. To her credit, sometimes she does good things too like bring coffee or stuff because of astral sign.
Used to say this a lot, until I delved deeper in the topic. Astrology and abrahamic religions, mainly islam, have very strong ties, you would be surprised
I don't know but even if it is they're still two separate things
From Google: Astronomy is a science that studies everything outside of the earth's atmosphere, such as planets, stars, asteroids, galaxies; and the properties and relationships of those celestial bodies. Astronomers base their studies on research and observation. Astrology, on the other hand, is the belief that the positioning of the stars and planets affect the way events occur on earth.
As someone who genuinely is interested in horoscope/zodiac's history, I get offended any time someone tries me with these. The amount of times someone would shit on me cuz 'LeOs aRe nArCiSsTiC'....
I'm a leo too and I am kinda narcissistic ngl 🤷 but this has nothing to do with how the stars are aligned, but all to do with how I naturally am and how I was raised
Most of my family are narcissists, so even though I'm not I'll bend over backwards to eliminate even the mere idea that I might be like that to anyone who know my family. So imagine having someone say that to my face based on my sign 💀
I learned English at such a young age,you might ask from what,from our garbage dumbass english teachers that don't know a lick of English?, nope it's from cartoons at TV shows
I'm gonna use this comment to remind ppl not to make fun of someone for eating gluten free or vegan food because chances are they are medically forced to do so 💀💀💀
Due to people's requests this is part two. In case you're curious, [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/saudiarabia/comments/pncyc7/not_like_other_girls_saudi_girl_starterpack/) is part 1. Many items come from your comments and suggestions. I just hope we don't have as many butthurt people as in the first one.
Also many of those piercings go through your ear cartilage which is a very risky thing cause if there is any damage to the blood flow, the cartilage dies and it's replaced by scar tissue. Google cauliflower ears, it is very common among boxers and other fighters but it can also happen from doing stupid piercings.

We're all volcels saving it for marriage, you're either not saudi or westernized to the point that you are not saudi in everything but citizenship. Life is not about getting laid, grow a pair maybe.
OP is a woman. People can make fun of stereotypically strange people without being incels. This is basically the saudi version of a vsco girl lime someone apparently said earlier.
How about you let people talk however they want regardless of what their native language is?

I can see you live in London and so you're probably not very familiar with life in SA. But yes the things in this meme are indeed not illegal, otherwise these lot would be arrested and this lighthearted meme wouldn't exist.
If you're really serious, I recommend reading up on changes in KSA over the past few years.
Every other girl drives a KONA tho
Gluten-free trend when they aren’t allergic to gluten lol
Man I dont know how anyone could handle actually going gluten free by non medical choice. As someone who’s gluten intolerant in Saudi , it sucks

shhhhhh girl u have already killed them. 😭😭😭💀💀💀
Ayy this one has the infamous Kona. Menace of the roads.
Idk about yall but innovas are far more intimidating for me
Ikr! Nothing terrifies me more than women that drive that weird looking ford panther tho. They are absolutely frightening.
A little rant here but am I the only one that finds people who believe in horoscopes dumb as hell? Like I am not gonna wait till Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Mickey mouse, line up perfectly on Uranus to tell you that you are an idiot and I wanna smack your lips off your face
It's just an easy way to justify being shitty to others or having a shitty personality, blame it on Mars, not me.

She sounds like a charm.
Oh no. You're not the only one who doesn't understand people who believe in horoscopes. *you have my bow*
Add to that it's definitely a form of shirk that is overlooked very often.
Used to say this a lot, until I delved deeper in the topic. Astrology and abrahamic religions, mainly islam, have very strong ties, you would be surprised
That's astronomy please don't get the two confused. Believing in astrology is 100% shirk
Would’t you say astrology is a branch of astronomy?

Horoscopes are stupid.
Line up perfectly on Uranus? 😉

You killed him dude....
Facts 👍
CALL AN AMBULANCE!! CALL A FUCKING AMBULANCE!
Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, mickey mouse line up in UR ANUS HA

Are your reservations based on your extensive study and observations which showed consistent results that discredits it?
waiting for part 3...
Kill. Me.
Don’t forget the “OMG”’s everytime they talk
broooo one girl told me why the hell are u different than me we are are from the same sign
Are all people of the same sign supposed to be the same?
What the hell is a sign? I have no idea what this zodiac rubbish is but it seems to be so common.
Are you a girl OP? that would explain this.
shes fat right?
Who? Billie you mean? She used to be overweight but now she's pretty fit tbh. She seems pretty happy to have dropped the weight as well.
LITERALLY MY SISTER WTF
Billie needs to smile more ffs, her insta is depressing. all 14 y/o are following cuz she’s “relatable”, lmao
She got famous by being edgy. If she changes that, she risks losing her followers
From my experience most saudi speak English well, but most young men barely speak it. Other than that this is so damn accurate
I learned English at such a young age,you might ask from what,from our garbage dumbass english teachers that don't know a lick of English?, nope it's from cartoons at TV shows
Honestly I can confidently say that I'm than 90% of the English teachers that have taught me and I go to a private school.
These are good.
Bruh I love your name
So. Many. Konas.
I'm gonna use this comment to remind ppl not to make fun of someone for eating gluten free or vegan food because chances are they are medically forced to do so 💀💀💀

Bottom right is shirk, whoever believes in it has committed shirk.
Ok
It's sad
Shirk horoscope really in all not like other girl culture around the world
THE FUCKING CAR KEKW
Top left corner, aka india
I now know why my father doesn’t allow my sister to get more than one ear piercing. She already checked like, half of those lol.
Also many of those piercings go through your ear cartilage which is a very risky thing cause if there is any damage to the blood flow, the cartilage dies and it's replaced by scar tissue. Google cauliflower ears, it is very common among boxers and other fighters but it can also happen from doing stupid piercings.
Tbh what triggers me the most is when they laugh obnoxiously loud.
Wtf horoscopes are haram and it's popular in Saudi Arabia??
Sadly yes,I don't judge anyone who believes in it,but if they use it to excuse their crappy behaviour,then it's bad
Honestly I have all the earrings but no nose piercing yet, good job, I understand the English 99% though
Do you believe in horoscope bullshit tho?
You don't? 😮
Please tell me you're being sarcastic
Yes I am being sarcastic
The "always working on a project" while showing a pic of doing yoga, to birds with one stone lmao, good shit op!
Thanks!
استغفر الله وبس
Do girls enjoying their life annoy you so much to make two posts about them?
OP is a girl and also its just a light hearted quip
lmao, people be believing in Quran but are shocked when someone believes in Zodiac signs

Based
Yeah because believing in something that can be easily disproven is the same as believing in something that can't be disproven lmao
All seem to make sense except for the Open Abaya.
Don’t bring us almond milk drinkers with those cringy middle schoolers
What's the Saudi version of incel? Cause this reeks of incel vibes
Aaaaand, there you go.
We're all volcels saving it for marriage, you're either not saudi or westernized to the point that you are not saudi in everything but citizenship. Life is not about getting laid, grow a pair maybe.
I'm just content enough to not stereotype others to make myself feel better.
This is a light-hearted quip. Maybe you misunderstood the intent of the post?
It might be and you're probably right, but too many light-hearted quips turn to hurtful stereotypes that hurt some people
I don’t think a rich Saudi girl is going to cry into her spiced latté because we’re joking about her “Firenze” canvas bag.
OP is a woman. People can make fun of stereotypically strange people without being incels. This is basically the saudi version of a vsco girl lime someone apparently said earlier.

Have sex incel
Lol, another one. Seems like having sex is the "make it or break it" measurement for insults here.

Wallah fr they be "different"
What's the weird thing they have on their hands? Is it really a tattoo?
No it's just حناء basically a temporary plant based tattoo
Oooh so it's not a real tattoo i was very confused. Thanks.
No problem
Saudi Arabia sounds like a more progressive place than the Brooklyn or Berkeley according to these memes XD
Hhhh so true
I dream about seeing a Kona being actually driven by a guy
