Break time and you are in the canteen with your elementary class. You have been with the class for a few weeks now and you are participating with that absolute fraud-namely- spending breaks with the students. Turkish teachers wouldn't do it unless they were told to by the boss and then they of course would jump to it whilst competing with each other to say "evet Mustafa Bey."
Elementary student: Are you ugh ugh ugh yani ugh drink the bira?
You don't say: Of course I effing do, look at the state of me. I am overweight, working here, got a red face, sweating, no time for a shower, live in Fırızk�y, travel by bus, mooch off you lot and I have got diarrhoea from last night's session.
Elementary student: Ugh ugh are you eat the Turrrrrkish kebap? His face lit up with pride.
You don't say: Someone finish it for me |

If you worked where you say you do, you would never have a Saturday or Sunday off to spend with your in-laws.
Hmmm.... could that be considered an advantage to working there?  |

| The recent walkouts have nothing to do with Emit Hsilgne advertising on tefl.com for 35 new teachers, it is because they are growing. |

to the boss/wife/turkish colleague who is telling you exactly the same thing for the third time:
I understood you the first time! why are you repeating this to me? do I look stupid?
and:
your gold bangles make you look like a cheap trollop. |

To a doctor:
"Is this treatment necessary?"
"Are there other treatments besides thousands of milligrams of multi-spectrum antibiotics?"
"Is there a way to prevent/avoid this illness?"
In fact, it's better not to ask a doctor any questions at all-- they find it threatening and get pissed off. |

| Listen Ebru, there is no point going to the hospital for an x-ray when you have a back ache. If your back was broken you would be screaming in agony. Have a bath, go for a walk, lose some weight, stop smoking stop oofing. |
