Lately, it seems to be the trend. The plumber, the taxi driver, the carpenter, all send me invoices of “as much as I want”. I wonder how they have the guts. Imagine I send Burburry lady an invoice of “as much as you want”, I’d end up with nothing! icon smile As much as you want! Guess they’re hoping for more than they were planning to ask for. Next time I will keep them up to their words and REALLY give them as much as “I” want!

It’s a hectic week over here, lots of projects on the way, but so far I can proudly announce that I am illustrating for the Arabic version of A List Apart magazine for web designers, thanks to the very lovely Beshr Kayali & Mohammad Kayali. With this, my darlings, I wish you a beautiful day icon smile As much as you want!

    i agree with lara…hehehehe
    happens all the time….recently..my car broke down, a technician who was near by came and tried to turn on the car, he immediately found out that it’s an electrical not a mecanical failure, he told me better call a car electrician….so when i asked him how much he wanted, he said ” samhit nafis”…what the hek…are we praying….!!!! …

    Akh if I had a dollar for each time this happens, its like a technique they use to milk you for every dollar you’ve got. In the beginning I used to think “oh how chivalrous and generous” but you realize it’s all a scam. Great Observation though!!

    A technique that never fails is to ask your mom in advance how much it costs, or anyone older than you… I always get ripped off when I find no one to ask :(

    hahaha! really, “a knuckle sandwich” is about how much they should get after their scamming… it’s funny how their “politeness” always transforms into the opposite! (btw, is it really a new trend?)
