There is a very bad practice many delivery companies are still doing until today: Taking a scan/pic of your Emirates ID as proof of delivery and storing it on their drivers' phones.
I am not referring to banks or gov entities, those are a must, and most use gov-regulated hardware and software.
I am referring to companies that deliver random things such as shoes, clothes, and other consumer goods.
There are drivers, at this very moment, that are wandering around town with hundreds, if not thousands, of people's private data stored as image files on their phones. I have seen it in my own eyes on several occasions.
Imagine one of these phones falling into the wrong hands. It's not only compromising to the people who's IDs are our there in the wild, but to everyone involved in this process: (delivery company, drivers, retailer... etc).
This practice should be regulated (it is btw - by TDRA), and stopped immediately.
Unless it is a gov entity or a bank, I always tell drivers to see my EID to verify data ONLY, but never take any scans or pics. You should to.
What was the silliest thing you were asked to hand over your EID for?
Mine was a a box of cup cakes ... 🫤

Recently, whenever I casually bump into someone and get the "hey, lets meet up soon" line, I immediately respond with a specific time, date and location.
The look of discomfort this creates is eerily satisfying.

Not sure what’s with the hysteria around it … but it does taste better than most BCAAs I’ve tried.
