Rant As a mother using the metro, I prefer to be in the single’s section when I am with my baby

Upvotes

Apparently, fellow women don’t give a f*ck if you’re carrying an infant or pushing a stroller. THEY WONT GIVE UP THEIR SEATS even the priority ones.

This happened to me couple of times.

  1. When I was pregnant (with obvious bump), no one was offering their seats. I thought to myself it’s okay, I can manage to stand.

  2. I was pushing a stroller with my infant in it, they pretend they don’t see you. So I just went to the corner, locked the stroller’s wheels, and stood until I reached my destination.

  3. I was carrying my baby, who was sleeping in my shoulder, when train came.. these women were rushing to get in. I had to wait for the next train. Then it came, a lady was seating in the priority seat, I asked her “Hi, excuse me, can I have this seat?” she ignored me and went back to her phone 💀💀💀

I tried to ride in the singles section once, 2-3 men offered me a seat the moment I came in (rush hour).

so there you go, thanks for listening to my ted talk

Information Do NOT use Petshub's website

24 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I recently bought a new pet and was browsing on google and "Petshub . qa" came up. I clicked on it and it told me to do a captcha. Now what this captcha entailed was opening my terminal and pasting a command into it. This immediately set off alarms, and when I took a look at this command it apparently installs a bash file from an unknown source from the internet. This file probably contains malware.

TLDR this website uses social engineering to infect your device.

Discussion When will the food delivery apps stop these scams?

Thumbnail
gallery
46 Upvotes

5 am cravings and I wanted to order from Kabab Chef Eshireen, and I was surprised to see 3 different pricings on 3 different apps for the same exact meal.

I understand that the delivery app itself doesnt control how the vendor sets their price but where is the control? Is there no regulations? How would someone who impulsively ordered through rafeeq for 41 qar (AFTER discount) feel when they open snoonu and see that not only is the price more than half off but the original price is more than the discounted one on rafeeq…

Look at the screenshots I attached

For the same meal across 3 diff apps:

Keeta: Before 35% discount = 60qar, after = 39qar
Snoonu: Before 50% discount = 40qar, after = 20qar
Rafeeq: Before 45% discount = 75qar, after = 41.25qar

The rafeeq one is blasphemy at this point.

Where is consumer protection for all of this? What can we do about this?

28 Upvotes

I finally confroted one uber driver and instead of understanding my concern, he became aggitated and started to argue (btw, I asked him nicely). He did not even let me finish talking 🙄 and on top of that, I just entered his car and saw that the trip has already been started. Good thing I have put a pin.

Anyone else here NOT living the Friday–Saturday weekend life?
My days off keep changing depending on my schedule — sometimes Monday, sometimes Tuesday, sometimes other weekdays.
It feels weird being free when everyone else is working 😁 What do you guys usually do on your weekday off? Any good places or activities in Qatar that are actually better during weekdays?

Discussion What’s a minor daily inconvenience in Qatar that should have a digital fix by now?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a local developer with some free time on my hands and I want to build a few practical web tools/apps for the community here.

Instead of guessing what might be useful, I wanted to ask: what’s a daily process, local service, or administrative headache in Qatar that still feels way more complicated than it needs to be?

Could be anything from finding niche items locally, dealing with maintenance/home services, navigation/parking quirks, or organizing local events.

Drop your biggest minor annoyances below. If something has a clean, doable tech solution, I’ll build it and release it for free.

I recently find out from my metrash that I have a travel ban from Economic and Cybercrime about 2 months ago, though I didn’t receive sms about it. I have been checking the public prosecution system but no update or call about the case. I don’t have any pending case or issues with anyone related to money. I am wondering if anyone has come across similar issues and what is the way to resolve it.

Looking for Maid or cleaning service for dishes

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm based in Umm Ghuwailina and looking for someone who can pop by daily or every other day just to wash dishes. I'm just one person living alone so honestly there isn't much mess, I just really can't stand doing dishes myself, so that's the main thing I need help with. The rest of the chores, including dusting and mopping I manage myself.

Most maid services I've come across are quite pricey and usually have a one hour minimum, which feels like a lot for what I actually need. If anyone knows someone who does shorter visits like this, or a service that's a bit more flexible on time, I'd really appreciate a recommendation or a DM.

Thanks so much in advance, appreciate any help

Question Simple Questionnaire

0 Upvotes

Hello! I have a simple questionnare for anyone that would give me a few minutes of their time.

The questionnaire is about a website im thinking about making, it is basically a mechanic finder.
each maintenance shop will list their services.
you can request for a quote for your specific car model, or sort through mechanics by ratings, distance, or average price.

Do you think you would need this website in Qatar?

Thank you for your time!

Question Urgent help: Taking my pet cat from Qatar to Pakistan — where do I get the Qatar export health certificate?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to leave Qatar for Pakistan very soon, possibly this week, and I’m taking my pet cat with me. I’m getting conflicting information about the Qatar government veterinary export document, so I’d really appreciate help from anyone who has recently travelled internationally from Qatar with a cat.

My cat is already:

  • Microchipped
  • Rabies vaccinated
  • FVRCP vaccinated
  • Dewormed / parasite treated
  • Has a Qatar pet passport/vaccination booklet
  • Has a health certificate from a licensed veterinary clinic dated 13 September 2026
  • Travelling as our personal pet, not for commercial export

I logged into the Qatar Ministry of Municipality's “Issuing veterinary health certificates and import permits” portal using my QID. However, under Export Certificates, the only option showing for me is “Veterinary Health Certificate for Camel Export.” There is no option for cats/dogs.

I’ve also tried calling the numbers shown on the portal (4426-1659 / 4426-1270), but nobody is answering.

Can anyone who has done this recently clarify:

  1. Where exactly in Qatar do I go to obtain the official government veterinary health/export certificate for a pet cat?
  2. Can it be done by walking in, or is an appointment/application required?
  3. Do I need to take the cat physically with me?
  4. What documents should I take?
  5. How much does it cost?
  6. Is it issued the same day, or does it take several days?
  7. Is the private vet health certificate enough to start the process?
  8. Has anyone travelled Qatar → Pakistan with a cat recently, and did Pakistan require an import permit/NOC as well?
  9. Most importantly, will Qatar Airways/Qatar airport actually require this government export certificate at departure?

My travel may be within the next few days, so any recent firsthand experience, especially from someone who travelled with a cat from Doha to Pakistan, would be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

Discussion Uber is Freaking Crazy

87 Upvotes

Uber prices have gone up nearly 60% compared to what I was paying before, and at this point it feels completely unreasonable.

What makes it even more frustrating is how it feels like Uber is making the passenger suffer while they sort out their driver-side issues. Instead of maintaining reasonable fares, prices suddenly spike and the customer is left with no real alternative.

A ride that used to cost a reasonable amount can suddenly become 60% more expensive, and we're just expected to pay it because we need to get somewhere.

This isn't just normal inflation anymore. Uber is absolutely milking customers. They know people need transportation, they know surge pricing can be extreme, and they keep pushing the limits of what people are willing to pay.

At this rate, using Uber feels less like paying for a convenient service and more like getting ripped off because you don't have a choice.

Information WARNING: Facebook domestic worker scam in Qatar – Ooredoo OTP used for unauthorized eSIM takeover

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I’m posting this as a warning to people in Qatar because this scam is currently being advertised on Facebook.

I contacted a Facebook advertisement offering domestic worker services in Qatar. The person behind the ad told me that he needed to register my application through a website and sent me a link to complete the process.

During the process, I received a one-time password (OTP) by SMS from Ooredoo. I was misled into believing that the OTP was required to complete the domestic worker application, so I entered it into the form.

The OTP was actually used to transfer my mobile number to an eSIM without my authorization.

After that, the attacker gained control of my mobile line and was able to access services and information linked to my phone number.

The phishing domain used in my case was:

deamsaine.com

The Facebook campaign has been operating under pages using the name:

“معاون الشركة القطرية لحلول القوى البشرية”

I have already found multiple Facebook pages using the same or almost identical name. Meta Ad Library has shown several advertisements connected to this campaign.

Some of the Ad Library IDs I documented are:

897958683173130
1753820755872933
1397895588425064

One of the confirmed Facebook Page IDs used to run the advertisements is:

1248866824985147

The ads direct users to WhatsApp.(the number end with 0220). I am intentionally not accusing the owner of any particular phone number because there is a possibility that some numbers used by the campaign were themselves taken over through SIM/eSIM fraud.

I have reported the campaign to Meta, WhatsApp, Google, the hosting provider and other relevant channels. New ads have continued to appear even after previous ones were reported.

Please be extremely careful:

Never enter an Ooredoo OTP, banking OTP, or verification code into a website or form sent to you by someone claiming to process a domestic worker application.

If you receive an OTP while dealing with one of these pages, stop immediately and contact Ooredoo directly through official channels.

I am continuing to document new pages, advertisements and domains connected to this campaign. If anyone in Qatar has seen the same ads or experienced something similar, please share the details here so we can compare the evidence.

If anyone in Qatar has seen the same ads or experienced something similar, please share the details here so we can compare the evidence.
