Turkish Bitch, Turkish Bully!

I know I've gone MIA for some time now. Well alot happened and I've also been feeling under the weather. Sometimes depressed too...lol but well... I guess that's life, wherever you go.

I feel really compelled to blog about this story. I've met really nice Turks here. Most of the time they are nice and I'm not talking about shy, mild and nice. They generally have very strong characters and I think on the whole, I can say they aren't exactly passive people. Of cos there'll be those Turkish aunties and grandmas who never fail to get on my nerves by their 'shoving and pushing' act. These are the ones who should play for the American football teams cos they'll just push you (don't matter if ya only 46kg and almost flying over) in midst of the crowd without an utter of, "Pardon" or, "Afedersiniz" (means 'sorry' and 'excuse me' accordingly).

2 days ago, my gf and I were queuing up at this bargain shoes shop in Kadikoy, to pay for our stuff. There was a bespectacled middle age woman and an 80+ yr old grandma before us. Suddenly out of nowhere, this Turkish bitch pushed her way through and stand right in front of the cashier! Of cos my gf and I were downright pissed! The cashier told her she had to join the queue and this freaking monster simply scolded the cashier. Well it was in Turkish so I wouldn't know what she said but from her bitchy expression, I knew it couldn't be good. She looked like a bully, as she stared menacingly at anyone who dared to annoy her. Her eyes all widened, attempting to intimidate others and the bloody bitch way she rolled her eyes could easily warrant a slap!

The bespectacled woman tried to explain to her that others have been queuing and waiting for their turn and the bitch scolded the poor woman and from the horrified look of the woman, I guess few expletives had been thrown at her. Even the 80+ yr old grandma was not spared and I was thoroughly disgusted by the ugly act of this bitch face bully!

When the cashier proceeded to register in this bitch's items on the cash till, I got pissed. I told the bitch, "Excuse me, we queued up and came first." That was it. Just a matter of fact tone and civilised. Of cos I did use hand gestures as I speak just in case this bitch couldn't understand. She stared at me, and said, "Yea ok!" and waved her hand at me rudely, like 'yea whatever' manner. My gf and me stared at each other in disbelief at her sheer rudeness and said,"Omg, what a freaking bitch, such rudeness." I was telling my gf that the bitch had no decent manners. Well all these was done right in front of her, not sure if she understands.

The bitch huffed and puffed and stared at me with dagger look. Honestly she looked like she was going to bash me up and she really looked like she's capable of it. Her eyes widened threateningly and she stared at me with quivering lips, as though trying to contain her explosive temper. I did tell myself if she hits me, I'll hit back, I don't know anger can make a person capable of anything I guess. I stared back at her right in the eyes, I won't be cowed by this cow face bully. She muttered something in Turkish and then I heard THAT word. "FUCK" thrown in her Turkish gibber.

I stared at her hard and said, "Fuck you." She was boiling with rage at this time and I was honestly just waiting for her to punch me. Her face was just maddening with rage as she continued having the eye contact battle with me (yes, all this happened in front of the cashier right in midst of the crowd!) and her pupils deepened with fury. She never batted an eyelid and continued staring at me for ages and I snapped at her,"What are you staring at??"

This cow face bully reminded us with a tinge of threat in her message,"YOU ARE IN TURKEY."

Ok, yes I know I've heard that a million times. Ya in Turkey, don't mess with the Turks or you'll pay for it. How does that excuse her uncivilised behaviour?? Never mind her attitude towards me, how does that excuse her scolding that poor 80+yr old grandma?! She was nothing but a bully and she expected everyone to let her have her way! She looked like those hooligans with very mean face, bigger size than me and older than me for sure. I was a confrontational person in Singapore but I've really mellowed down since I got here. In fact I've never lost my temper since I got here but I think this bitch face pea brain moron is WAY TOO MUCH!

"Yea, we're in Turkey, so?" said my gf. Not wanting too much dramas, the cashier who was also annoyed with her, just asked her for the money and she took her stuff and left.

When my gf and I were done with our payments, I spotted the bitch with another of her chunky friend smoking in front of the shop, I bet waiting for us. I must be honest at this point I'm thinking,"That's it. These chunkies are gonna wallop me and break me into half." Hahahaha... Nothing happened, they stared and walked off. lol

I know what I did might not be the wisest thing considering fights happened ALOT here. Singapore is still alot more tame and mild compared to Istanbul. I've seen couple of fights on the streets and yes they can get BLOODY and MESSY. I've seen my male students showing me stab wounds and laughing it off. I've seen girls throwing punches at each other at the private college I taught briefly here before. It's NOT a good idea to mess with the locals especially if you're a foreigner but I just can't stand acts of bullying. That's the most despicable thing ever and I guess what really irks me most is her blatant disrespect towards everyone even the elderly.

The incident certainly didn't poison my thoughts of the Turks though. I've met way more nicer Turks here than the bad eggs so I'll just let it go. I've lots more stories to update. Will do so soon! xo
