How Your Mail Gets Sorted in Kuwait

Although Kuwait mail has improved over the past few years it still needs a ton of work. Imagine how great online shopping would be if we had a mail system that wasn’t so archaic. [YouTube]

Thanks K

Shouldn’t there be a postal employee overseeing this unloading? what would stop anyone from walking off with a couple of these huge mail bags.

Typical Kuwaiti attitude.
In the middle of the video, he says “and our packages arrive all broken , because of these workers who dont even know how to work or care.”

Its not the workers fault.
They need equipment, forklifts, belt drives, a system, a plan, a operating procedure.

Instead of blaming the people in charge he wants to blame the indians, who are just doing their job.

If the kuwaiti in charge doesn’t care, why would you think the indian would care?

Whats the answer to this problem? Put those indians in jail, and then bring new indians to be more gentle?

Its no wonder your country is a mess, because you kuwaitis have no sense of responsibility or self awareness or initiative.

The dude in the video wants a certain person in charge to be aware of whats going on so that person in charge can dish out punishments. .. hello genius, you were supposed to dish out punishment to the person in charge, after all he is in charge. Its his responsibility

I agree on the mindset part. He even at one point says these are our packages, us Kuwaitis. Not cool. And yes, people responsible should be punished, not these workers. Even though they are doing a lousy job. No guidance, no tools, crappy treatment and bad pay, that’s what you get.

There’s no mention of Indians in the video though, just watched the entire clip again. And next time don’t generalize, not all Kuwaitis are like that.

Akshuly, if you listen at 1:55.
Between 1:40 and 2:00
He specifically says that the reason out packages come destroyed is because these workers who dont know how to work.

Also if you watch from 2:10 to 2:45. He only blames the workers.

Peanut brain couldn’t say , “hey person in charge, these poor guys need forklifts!! Hey person in charge, how do you expect people to just lift these heavy bags and move them around without equipment?”

He had to make it as if they indians need to be punished. And its the kuwaitis “hard earned” money at stake.

Hard earned was in sarcastic qoutes.

Yes but he didn’t say Indian. You assumed they are Indian because all dark workers are? Just like you assumed all Kuwaitis are spoiled self centered jerks.

Nevermind, that last sarcastic comment of yours says it all. I see where your frustration is coming from now.

Where are you from by the way? Not that it matters, you can be a jerk regardless where you’re from, I’m just curious.

Yes I assumed they were of Indian descent, could be from nepal to pakistan to any other indian race peoples.

I also took the liberty to also assume his Gender, I hope thats not too offensive?

When youre dont with your fake outrage about the Indian people.
Also I didnt assume all kuwaitis are spoiled self centered jerkes. I never said that, but If you want to put that statement out there, thats up to you, I cant deny or confirm that as a fact.

Im from Kuwait, and I am Kuwaiti, so as a Kuwaiti, I can say my people are all the things you call then.

“Typical Kuwaiti attitude” that was my issue. The guy (in your opinion) is a jerk. Not because he is Kuwait, that’s what I am trying to say.

Being a Kuwaiti and reading what you said sounds less offensive and I actually share some of your thoughts/feelings. It’s hard to fix everything wrong in our society but I don’t think we should highlight it. Not sure if that makes sense. I apologize if that offended you and in case it’s not clear, I am also a Kuwaiti.

Akshully,
Now that we established that what is said is less offensive since Im a Kuwaiti, and I can say these things.

Im not a kuwaiti, I was just posing.

But the fact that It was ok for me to speak out because I “am a kuwaiti” and have the right to talk and think in kuwait, but now that im being honest and saying im not kuwaiti is it now offensive?

Because just because im not from a certain race and means im not allowed to express myself, is the very definition of being racist.

Congratulations you just showed us you are racist, plus you apologized to me. Would you apologize to a non kuwaiti?

And also you said you share my thoughts and feelings, and im glad you are slowly realizing the way things are, im happy for you.

Plus if I was kuwiati and I highlight a problem, then you kuwaitis should try to fix it, the fact that you are saying we should just keep it a secret and not work on it and evolve, is the reason why kuwait is not so socially modern.

Anyway, no offense im just a social justice warrior trying to help kuwaitis be self aware, thanks for your time.

Absolutely I would apologize to a non Kuwaiti. I make an effort to be extra nice to non Kuwaitis since I consider myself an ambassador representing and make up for the people that have you pissed off.

Not racist, but when you are a Kuwaiti and talk about your people out of concern, people can empathize, but when you are not Kuwaiti and talk about Kuwaitis and other nationalities genaralizing then that’s just rude.

Also, can you please explain “akshully”, is that how you spell actually or are you making fun of someone?

Lastly, why won’t you still not share where you’re from? Because it’s irrelevant right?

So you write a long ass rant about one guy’s attitude towards a postal worker and then you turn around and generalize all Kuwaitis.

How about you go fuck yourself?

Ah yes, lets take offense to offending kuwaitis.

But other races, we dont care about.

This is the typical mentality I was pointing out

Thank you for helping me make a point.

What you dont seem to understand is that because you are generalizing about all kuwaitis, you are just as sick as the man in that video generalizing about workers and blaming these workers for the mistreatment of the mail. Do you not understand that all these people here commenting are trying to get that message through to you? Just because some Kuwaitis offend foreigners and expats here does not mean others will sit by and watch other people offend all of Kuwaitis. We may not be able to get this guy in the video to change his mind, but we certainly can stand up for ourselves when some douchebag like you acts in the same irresponsible and childish behavior. I am very sure someone hurt you bro, who tell me who?

Ah it seems you watch alot of Tv series, and want to seem as intelligent as the pshych on TV when you want to ask who hurt you.

Oh, totally got me there.

Im not Generalizing, because every single Kuwaiti response to my comment was the same, here you are making insults and acting like the way your society brought you up.

Brb im going to cry by myself because you asked me who hurt you. Lol
Funny thing is that you still dont get it, and still dont understand that I was saying that no one is commenting that its not the workers fault but me.

Ah, it seems like you are someone who starts their reply with “Ah, it seems” or “Ah yes” to sound more intellectual, who is the one watching a lot of tv now? Ah, it seems it is you sir, quite so, yes, tea and crumpets, Ah, yes…

Good good, keep generalizing about how we were all brought up by villains and witches of the west. You are ignoring every point and fact anyone states, and you go straight to the insult. This will be the last time I reply to your childish behavior..

“Ah yes”, be gone sir..

Also, it seems you are the only one who labeled the workers in the video as ‘indians’, racist generalizations like that are bad my son, seek therapy, or maybe a class on human diversity, you simple racist

Its typical for a kuwiati to not understand what a racist is because, well im not going to explain.

I call mark a lebanese, and these guys indians because thats the race/natioanlity they look like or are from.

I guess im racist because I dont want indians (people from the general india vicinity) to be mistreated in kuwait… somone put me in jail asap.

1. You generalize and assume that all these workers are Indian, then you generalize and assume all Kuwaitis have no sense of responsibility, both of these comments make you a douchebag

2. I dont understand why you wrote it out as Akshuly, is this a meme joke im not familiar with? or did u mean to type actually?

3. You are a douchebag. That is all

It sucks that these workers are treating these packages this way, but they learned from the people that manage them. In the end, Kuwaitis are running this show, and it is true that this guy in the video should not have placed the blame only on the workers. BUT! A worker should have some work ethic no matter who is managing him/her, it seems their work ethic surfaces only when they know they are being filmed LOL. Kuwait would shut down without it’s work force, they are loved, mostly, and they are needed, always.. you “Typical Kuwaiti” seem to be in the disgruntled group. Who hurt you bro?

Ah yes instead of having a discourse using you brain, you resort to name calling and character attacks.

Akshuly Its ok the kuwaiti culture encourages this. Its not your fault.

But care to comment on the guys blaming of the workers?

I think you have a symptom of selective reading, i obviously DID comment on the guy blaming the workers, i very clearly said the guy in the video should not have placed the blame on the workers only.. Did you not see that part of my comment? It’s right THERE bro, scroll up and look, ill wait for you……

And were you also “using your brain” when you accused every single kuwaiti of being irresponsible?
Or trying to be funny by using “Akshuly” more than once…

What’s “AKSHULY” funny is that the person who is calling out the name calling and character attacks is the person who STARTED the name calling and character attacks by calling kuwaitis irresponsible. You must be shocked to see some of us actually try very hard to be as responsible as we can be without going insane in this region. People like you always surprise me with their hypocrisy and nonsense.

Be gone sir

” You must be shocked to see some of us actually try very hard to be as responsible as we can be without going insane in this region. ”

Thank you for settling the case and helping me with the final statement.

I am shocked that you have to try very hard… why isnt in a natural reaction or the standard reaction to just not go insane?

Why so much rage?

Good bye then.

There’s a reason why online retailers package their stuff with a lot of protection. They know its going to be handled like this. In fact, this is pretty tame compared to other places. The volume of mail is just too much to handle properly.

If youre paying for expensive stuff you’re obviously going to use DHL or premium shippers

There is a simple solution, capital machinery. Replace humans with robots, it’s effective and efficient.

I shouted to the Salmiya psot office manager ones, who sat on his ass in his Diwaniya “office” with his buddy. Al the packages laying around on the floor, on top of cabinets as if they it was a bakala.
He defending him self with the following. We don’t get funds from the government, we used to have a machine to sort the mail, it broke down and it never got fixed. So we sort it by hand. I don’t even get money for new light bulbs, so I use my own money. The stair down to the P.O box room is always dark. He told me I am feed up, because noting gets done.
So, who’s fault is it? The government don’t have funds to run a post office? He is sitting on his ass in the office with his buddies, not applying for funds?

It’s for sure not the employees fault. What ever nationality it is.
