Lebanese Girl Shared Habits That Left Her American Boyfriend Confused
Ever wondered what happens when Lebanese traditions meet American curiosity? A Lebanese girl decided to spill the beans about her everyday habits, and her American boyfriend was left totally baffled. From open doors to family names, these little quirks are just part of the fun in Lebanon!
Doors Always Open in Lebanon
The girl explained that in her village, everyone keeps their front door wide open. Guests can just stroll right in, no knocking required. Her boyfriend couldn’t believe it, but for Lebanese families, it’s just another day of legendary hospitality. Forget secret knocks or doorbells—just walk in and say hi!
Dad’s Name as the Middle Name
Next up, names get a twist. Instead of cute middle names like ‘Rose’, Lebanese kids often take their dad’s name as their middle name. The boyfriend found this hilarious, imagining himself as ‘Joe Frank Meely’. But for Lebanese families, it’s all about honoring dad, not picking something flowery!
No Splitting Bills and the Guest-Only Room
Eating out? Get ready for a friendly showdown! In Lebanon, splitting the bill is a no-go. Everyone argues over who gets to pay, and it’s a full-on contest of generosity. And if you visit grandma’s house, don’t even think about sitting in the fancy living room unless you’re a guest. That room is strictly off-limits for everyday lounging—reserved for VIPs only!
