Annoying Arabian customs

to all my fellow Arabs,what are the most annoying/traditional customs in our culture?
I think for me,not personally as my mum was completely westernised would be girls not being able to sleep outside of her parents house(unless with relatives or not being able to live alone(I know this is hugely frowned upon) until she's married. Like,Khalas,it's so backdated.

Don't worry, that's not only Arabian, being of Indian origin and having friends from different cultures that's a huge custom

Calling your elders khala/amo even though they're actually not your aunty or uncle lol

I guess I don't mind too much as it's a sign of respect...

Stop what?
Incense I hate incense.

Having to be modest whenever I go to an arabic country to summer. It's a lot less modest now but still there's stigma.

How working for women is frowned upon.
