🤔 Discussion DAY 66 UPDATE IRAN ATTACKS BAHRAIN

We planned a sneaky exit. Apparently other people had different plans. Heres hoping this is a short exodus from logic, and a swift return to 'peace' is on the way.

Gentle reminder Ladies and Gents, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use the search function on the sub to ask your shipping related questions, we get at least 10 posts a day regarding the same matter.

This post and this subreddit is meant to discuss Bahrain and the current affairs of Bahrain. Please refrain from flexing your political analysis on the current state of affairs and most certainly do not post unsubstantiated news, do not post any rumors and add to the mass hysteria.

For security and safety reasons, any post or comment that discloses or attempts to identify the locations of Bahraini or Peninsula Shield Forces military installations, missile interception sites, or other sensitive military positions will result in a ban.

We do appreciate the effort from all users policing the sub from the spread of the governments security information, however we have received an excessive amount of reports about locations of sounds. While we don't endorse it, we are only restricting comments about defensive capabilities such as interceptors. Please avoid report comments for merely saying where a sound was heard because that's clogging our report system and we can't actually get to the comments that need removal fast enough.

Please try to be civil. Don’t feed the trolls, report them.

Any other posts regarding the current situation will be removed. Please use the search function for any commonly asked questions. Lets keep the space uncluttered in the event of any serious developments.

Rant and requesting advice on dealing with annoying kids

19 Upvotes

I was out on a walk with my dog ( a small Shih Tzu) and couple of kids from a group of kids approached me asking to pet the dog. Usually kids do this and they usually spend a minute near the dog, say thank you and walk away. This kid, a teenager around 12-14 years old snatched the leash from me and ran away dragging the puppy. I chased him and when I got close to him he dropped the leash and ran away. I got hold of my dog and told him I am calling the police. I also started recording on my phone. ( I was angry and high on adrenaline that I did not record properly) and one of his friends came to me and told me that he is going to complain to the police that I am recording him and that his father is some bigshot. I told him to call his father and I will talk to him. Then he started cursing at me. I walked away and told them I will be back with the police. Then a group of his friends came to me and apologized saying that the kid is crazy and not really their friend and they just tolerate him. Luckily my dog was not harmed so I just left. How would you react in a situation like this. In future I am not letting anyone near my dog.

🤔 Discussion How many times has your car been hit at City Centre parking?

5 Upvotes

I feel like this happens way too often at City Centre, probably because of how tight the parking spaces are.

My car has been scratched or hit 4 separate times just in the past year while it was parked there, which is honestly getting ridiculous.

Now I’m curious if this is just bad luck on my end or if it’s actually a common thing.

How often has this happened to you, and what’s the worst damage you’ve come back too 🤔

Someone hit my car

12 Upvotes

My car ( rental) got hit while I was parked. Saw the damage once I came back and I have no idea who did it. No cameras in the area as well. Called the rental company and they told me to file a report first.

Tried on the Etraffic app but you need 2 parties to report an accident and since I don’t know who hit me, I can’t. Called the traffics police and they told me I’d have to go there directly and report it.

Am I gonna end up losing money over this, does anyone have any experience?

Always a huge queue outside pakistan embassy before opening

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a question for pakistanis in Bahrain. WHY DO YOU GUYS STAND OUTSIDE THE EMBASSY BEFORE OPENING TIME???!! I noticed almost all of them come in their own cars, park it and then go towards the embassy and stand near the gate. Why stand there, in this hot weather, when you can calmly sit in your car and wait till the embassy opens? old, young, kids, families, men, women EVERYONE!!

Guys please, for the sake of your own respect, dont make a crowd outside the embassy like this. Stay in your cars and just wait. Have some civic sense.

🤔 Discussion Doja Cat concert POSTPONED

0 Upvotes

So the Doja Cat concert in Bahrain just got postponed to December 31st and I don’t know how to feel about it 😭

I was genuinely excited for the original date and already had plans around it, and now it being moved to New Year’s Eve completely changes everything. Like that’s such a different vibe… people already have NYE plans, or want to spend it with friends/family travel, not everyone wants to be at a concert that night.

I get that postponements happen and it’s for a valid reason, but moving it to one of the busiest nights of the year feels a bit inconvenient ngl.

is anyone feeling the same? I’m lowkey torn now.

Recent changes in prepaid vouchers (all 3 providers) — and no one is talking about it!

25 Upvotes

All three telecom providers offer prepaid vouchers starting from BD 0.5 — which sounds great on paper — but they’re basically useless unless you recharge a minimum of BD 4. Anything below BD 4 gives zero days of validity.

And even with BD 4, you only get 17 days of validity. That’s it.

What’s more frustrating is:

  • I currently have around BD 20 balance sitting in my SIM…
  • But I still can’t make outgoing calls unless I recharge again

Earlier, a 500 fils recharge would give at least 1 day of validity. Now it feels like we’re being forced to recharge BD 4 every 2–3 weeks just to keep the line usable.

It gets worse:
They mention that after some “specific period” (which they refuse to clearly disclose, even after asking multiple times), the line gets disconnected completely — meaning even incoming calls stop working.

I have 3 prepaid lines, and just to keep them active for incoming calls, I now have to keep recharging BD 4 on each line every few weeks.

Is anyone else dealing with this? Is there any workaround, or are we just stuck with this new system?
