Episode 15: That feel when your wife is far better at your job than you are.

There is some societal thing in Egypt, or maybe its an actual job, but there always seems to be this guy who sits outside of apartment buildings, in the courtyard, usually. Usually someone of a lower social class than the apartment dwellers, usually? So he is kind of a doorman?

In previous films Yasmin has been in, this type of person would occasionally make an appearance. He's usually good to chat with. Maybe a down to earth kind of dude. Anyhow, this episode actually focuses on the life of a doorman who marries a woman who was actually cleaning his family's home and being a busybody about it. And it seems these doormen are sort of building superintendents, too, and personal shoppers, they make sure your kids get on the right bus, and yada yada yada. I guess like a concierge? Or a portero? And they get paid tips.

Anyway, it was nice to finally get a bit more context on who these people that sit outside apartment buildings are. Especially since I don't understand the language.

I do get that la means no, now. And habibi means dear or friend or dear friend.

You can tell I have never lived in big cities.
