....is it rude not to engage a total stranger in cafe in conversation when you're trying to do some work, but not rude to try and con people out of money?
....is drinking cold water unhealthy but taking anti-biotics for no real reason perfectly fine?

... do bus drivers pass you by when you are waving at them to stop while waiting at the bus stop.
... do neighbors want to discuss your every move and plan.
... do people bump into you while walking on a wide path and never utter a word of apology.

..do little old ladies come up to you in the street for no reason and ask if you need help or directions?
..do cashiers that you have never met before say that you can come back later and pay if you don't have enough money or the correct change? |

...do people absolutely insist you take the last piece of cake, and get really offended if you don't?
...and then the next week look at you, tut, shake their head sadly, and say 'You... took kilo?' |

| The best way to save money is to give it in cash to your mother-in law who then would go to the gold shop, buy gold bracelets and then hide them in her house. Robberies are then considered a stupid reason for not using this Turkish saving method. |

Oh! Oh! It gets worse! If you're nursing a baby and you go barefoot, the gas that's inherent in the floor will travel through your feet and into your milk and give the baby gas. Now that's science. And if the baby is barefoot, not only will he probably DIE, but the gas can easily enter his feet as well.
Gas, people. More deadly than cold, drafts, and cold drinks combined.
(I had my baby Feb. 22, so I know what I'm talking about here. He's really cute, and we're both barefoot and gas free.) |
