9 Times Egyptians Ovarreacted to Things Happening Around Them

Egyptians are genetically me2avwareen. Look at the pyramids, for one – nothing could ever top the overreaction our ancestors had when it came to death. Anyone born to at least one Egyptian parent, or who has been raised among Egyptians, naturally overreacts to everything and anything. We're not going to lie, for the past few years we've been through some changes in every aspect of our lives – starting from the 2011 revolution to the current shortages. Those changes generate drama, which we refuse to live without. To be specific, el 2avwara is a frequent behaviour of the Egyptian specie, and it is often catalysed by their constant need to either disturb and/or start shit.

We're just an expressive bunch – we feel too much and it comes out the way it does, and you know what? We own the crap out of it. From recent events we have witnessed, we came up with a list of times the good people of this nation have made us sit there and genuinely wonder if our enthusiasm can be extracted and exported as a prescribed drug to resolve our economic crisis.
