15 Times Lebanese People Were So “Extra”
No one is as “extra” as Lebanese people. Here’s proof:
1. When they hung up GoT banners around Beirut
Jon Snow, God protect you
This was in preparation of the 8th and final season.
2. When they gave out free haircuts in front of the Central Bank
Subtle.
3. When they threw a birthday party for a joura
The joura turned 1 years old back in December.
4. When Tripoli’s protests turned into the coolest party
This was the rave of a lifetime.
5. When this adorable woman found the best way to pass time at the bank
And then she brought tabbouleh.
6. When we voted for the same, wrong people, over and over again…and then celebrated their win
Any reason to party, really.
7. When a group of protestors sang “Baby Shark” to soothe a scared child
This made international headlines.
8. When protestors turned the Ring Bridge into a fully-furnished house
They called it “house of the people”.
9. When they created a human chain connecting Tripoli to Tyre
A memorable day indeed.
10. When this citizen paid his car loan in 250 LL and 500 LL as payback for bank policies
It took them over an hour to count the money.
11. When this Lebanese girl killed it with her dabke dance moves, in HEELS
Out feet hurt just watching this.
12. When Loris restaurant urged politicians, ministers, and deputies to pay in advance
Just in case they get kicked out by protestors…
13. When a hilarious group held a funeral for the Lebanese Lira
Inspired by Ghana’s popular dancing pallbearers.
14. When protestors wrote an obituary for Mohamad Safadi’s government
One day after Mohammad Safadi was nominated for Prime Minister, his name was retracted and the rumors were soon shut down. In response, a hilarious group of protestors from Tripoli printed out an obituary, celebrating Safadi’s extremely short-lived government.
15. When a group of friends had lunch at Kababji and left the bill for Sanioura to pay
They also left a note reading “Sanioura, deduct them from the 11 billion”.
