- The company I work for has a big factory campus with some bakeries and shops in it. These shops have printed papers with cells for name, company id number, cost and signature, we fill these at the cash register so we don’t have to carry money or cards with us, the sum is just reduced from our salary.
Especially at noon breaks those bakeries can be very crowded and ques can be disordered. Some “clever” colleagues think it is a good idea to merge the que. I follow them, see their names on the paper and when it is my turn just add 1 to the front of the cost value when nobody is looking. For example a 5₺ purchase costs 15₺ for them. It is a little less than 3$, so nothing fatal.
I like to think of it like a traffic ticket.
2. I don’t like people interdering with my life and decisions, questioning my choices etc. Even my family has always steered clear of such questioning and commenting about my investments, my decision to marry or have kids etc.
But a neighbor of my wife’s family was too curious and too snoopy. He is a 50+ years old guy and a friend of my father in law. My wife had told me he and his wife have tried for years but unfortunately never had kids, and never considered adoption for some religious reasons.
A few years ago when I and my wife were newlyweds, at my in law’s house he began harrassing me with questions and unnecessary advices like “Will you buy a flat? Why not? You shoul buy a flat.” or “where will you go on holidays? Do not waste your money in foreign countries, go to Antalya” or “visit your parents” etc. Finally when he asked me when we would be having kids I snapped, “I don’t know, when will YOU be having kids?”
I know it may sound awfully rude but he was the inconsiderate one because we could be having troubles with having kids too just as he and his wife did. He could not know that and he shouldn’t be too chatty about those delicate matters.
