OK so I was just sitting here watching a bit of VH1 and trying to ignore the fact that:
a) Im a saddo for just lying on my sofa watching movie soundtracks and b) I may still have the grasshopper lurking around probably watching me watching VH1 also thinking that I am a saddo for watching movie soundtracks, when my neighbor who lives opposite called me up and asked me what I was up to at 01.00am when he would be returning home from work. I explained to him that if I was not asleep I would probably be lying on my sofa, bag of crisps in one hand and tissues in the other watching VH1s movie sound tracks. When he asked why, I simply replied 'Well why not?'. Anyway, back to the point of the phone call. He wanted to come round for a drink when he finished work as he was stressed. Never mind the time being 01.00am and most normal people would be in bed asleep - no, never mind that at all, its all about him and his stress. Why should my being tired effect him wanting to have a drink and de-stress? You see here in Turkey the concept of time just does not matter to certain people. For example, after my horrific experience with the grasshopper me and Gucci went to bed early as Guc was shattered from trying to get the bug and I was too scared to stay downstairs any longer, and we both drifted off into a panicked sleep. Well I did anyway, Guc was just happy he got to sleep with his Mam and abused the situation and snuggled right in. Anyway: back to the point. We were in a deep sleep when my mobile started ringing ridiculously on and on and on and on. There were 11 missed calls; one after the other. If that wasn't enough to send me hurtling out of the bedroom, across the snake infested path and down the insect ridden stairs to his door to knock him out, then him throwing stones at my balcony window certainly would have done the trick. However, my fear overcame my annoyance so I ended up staying put watching my ringing phone continue to ring. Why didnt I answer it and tell him to piss off? Well that would have encouraged him to come a knockin at the door with victory in his eyes knowing that he had succeeded in waking me up. Anyhow, he eventually took the hint and buggered off back to his own home, finally leaving me alone. Alone and very much awake the selfish sod. That is the point that I was trying to make - no consideration for the person that they are annoying/waking up. Its all about them. My rude neighbor reminds me a bit of Mr. Attitude in Istanbul (Check out the book segments if you are lost at this point). Mr. Attitude was very much the same - as long as everything was going his way he didnt care about anything else, in fact even when things were not going his way, it was always all about him. You know the type - Know it all's. Cant friggin' stand them! So what I am trying to say here in a terribly round about sort of way is why do people have no regard for consideration any more? If someone didnt answer the phone to me after 2 missed calls I can safely say I would give the hell up, so why cant others? Cos its all about them thats why. The time is now 01.15am. If my neighbor calls again as he said he would any time from now onwards, I think I will just invite him over. Why? I dont want to have another 22,000,000,0000 missed calls waking me the hell up if I choose to take my sorry arse up to bed soon. And if he doesnt call, I am going to leave it an hour from now when I know he will be tucked up in bed and plague the living crap out of him. The sad fact is that he will probably answer on the first ring and tell me to piss of cos he is sleeping.
