10 Facts You Probably Did not Know About Jordanians



Let me tell you some non-scientific, untrue, totally made-up, I'm-just-kidding, facts about the Jordanian people, courtesy of the Department of Statistics in the imagination of yours truly.


  • 95% of Jordanians are Entrepreneurs; the other 5% are still learning how to pronounce that.

  • 99% of Jordanian Muslims know more about religion than you do, no matter who you are.

  • All Jordanians are environmentalists, they care so much about the environment inside their cars that they throw everything out the window to keep them clean.

  • All Jordanian girls are being chased by at least 5 guys at once, 75% of those girls are “tired and feel so pressured”, the other 25% “got used to it with time”.

  • 15% of Jordanian boys enjoy playing football, the other 85% don’t own a PlayStation.

  • All Jordanians care about cancer awareness, they just don’t like to talk about it. (seriously I heard that last week, they think if they talk about it they will “catch it”!)

  • 70% of Jordanians who have been involved in car accidents say it was the other driver’s fault, the other 30% were unconscious.

  • 99% of Jordanians will tell you what’s wrong with you just by looking at you, the other 1% are blind.

  • 1% of Jordanians are overweight, the other 99% just have “thick bones”.

  • And finally 100% of Jordanians are experts in one area or another, but of course you knew this, you’re an expert after all.
Welcome to the country of the people that knows it all!

* As usual, before I start getting lectures about how I should love it or leave it and whatnot, my love/hate relationship with my country is none of your business. Thank you :)

I am a Jordanian, I already know that.
Just kidding :) I don't know about the percentage but all are true.
I think what is common is that we don't admit fault or admit that we don't know. I am not sure where this come from. There has to be a reason behind it.
Not to undermine anyone's work, profession or enthusiasm but I think the use of "Entrepreneur" in people's twitter profile went a little too far.

Hey Rand.....I'm reading your post all the way from S.CA USA.

Your humor based on truth is funny, and when people Worldwide learn to make fun of themselves, humanity will be heading in the right direction.

Goodjob.
