I want to make a reservation right away. I do not strive for value judgments, I only write about what was noticed by me personally and what experience I had to face.
For example. I make an appointment at 12:00 with a local. I call him 15 minutes before the meeting to confirm the meeting. From the other end of the tube, I am 100% confirmed to meet at 12:00. I'm just in case interested in:
Are you far away?
I am in Alanya now.
Explanation: The distance from the planned meeting point in Antalya is 160 km.
How the person was going to arrive at the meeting in 15 minutes having covered such a distance remains a mystery.
Often a plumber can make an appointment for you at one time, but this does not mean at all that he will come by that time. In response to your indignation, one can hear: “Well, I’m working!” (No comments).
Many things in other people can irritate us, the style of behavior can differ significantly from our own views. However, you don't want to leave the sea, the warm climate, and the pleasant atmosphere of the resort town. So how do you deal with such situations?
Just calm down and remember that the people of the Mediterranean lead a fairly measured lifestyle, so you slow down the pace. Get used to living without stress and unnecessary fuss. They will come to meet you, and the plumber will definitely find the way to your house. The main thing is to accept certain characteristics of people and make your plans, making a discount is not a lack of punctuality.
Why does this little story have such a name? Turks are very fond of wristwatches, but this does not mean their punctuality.
P.S. Not all people here do this, but still such moments are quite common.
