Thought I'd share this rookie mistake. It happened the first week, an oldie, but still good: When I got to Istanbul, one of the first things I did was get a phone. As a foreigner, I am only allowed to get a prepaid service, but anyway, it rings. The voice mail system is a little different that my AT&T plan in the US. First I kept getting promo texts from Turkcell and alerts reminding me of every little action I had just performed. So it was no surprise that my jerked reaction from this text was perhaps another unwanted solicitation. I got a similar text to this 3 times before I asked my fiancée, "honey, who the hell is Kim? Do you know a Kim? Did you give her my cell number?" Confused, he asked me the full name, "Kim Aramis. Honey does that ring a bell?!"
He gently broke to me that KimAramis means who’s call you missed… Even though I knew the word for who, I wasn’t able to connect the dots on my own given the context. An absolute blond moment. Have you ever done anything like this?
