OK, this is not necessary my view but its collection of arguments we collect from people who do not have lots of love for Ramadan, its interesting to try to respond to these arguments simply because we always hear about how great Ramadan is, and the good things that Ramadan brings, so lets look at the other side of the coin for a change, so take a deep breath and here we go:

1) food craze

as if we don’t eat for a whole year and this is our last shot, every one is just stuffing there faces all night long.

2) its crowded every where

God help you if you want to go to buy anything from any where all the co ops, shops are just full with people, you can hardly walk or breath for that matter.

3) Road Rage

traffic is a mess, its traffic jam every where all the time. what use to take 20 minute, now takes 50 minute of your time

4) slow people

people drive and walk slowly, its like time stops, am i the only one with things to do here!

5) no energy

you just ran out of gas quickly its hard to work, concentrate, read, the only thing left it to vegetate in front of the TV

6) Bad Weather

don’t get me started

7) shortest days ever

can hardly do anything in those few hours left of the day, you start doing one thing and its 2 AM already!

eating late

it really sucks going to bad with full belly.

9) Married people

God help you

10) single people

God help you too
