The word “pensioner” might bring sympathy to those from the those from the UK. All I see is boomer.
Boomer went to go yell at people throwing a once in a lifetime event, couldn’t bother not being an ass for a night, somehow managed to involve himself in the situation and got served with a big fuck you.
Why the fuck did he have to involve a 3 year old in the situation for? She could’ve stayed in bed trying to sleep but oh no, woe is fucking me and my family in this foreign nation.
Other notable events that happened abroad include: boomer talked rude to staff of country that jails/kills people that don’t align with their beliefs. Is immediately jailed.
The era of being a self righteous dickhead is finally over. If you can’t sleep call the police to handle it, you are absolutely NO ONE to go tell people how you feel cause I guarantee that no one cares.
The people that wrote the article conflating this with actual human rights abuses are total fucking dickheads. How the fuck does this geriatric bag of dicks get to compare himself to all my gay brothers and sisters vehemently murdered for being who they are, or all the women that have been abused and discarded by those institutions. Have they no shame?
Honestly, there's not enough detail here to say for sure who's in the wrong, or if both were.
I think the only take away needed here is don’t live in Dubai.
Oh just like in click bait, got it
Thx for saving me the click
Your garbage rant is instantly nullified for throwing insults for no reason. Grow up.
Some people agreed with it. Can’t win everyone over pal.
How is a New Year's Eve party a "once in a lifetime" event?
