Ahhhh... The undeniable life...

I know, I know… two posts in one day… What gives? Right? That is what I love about having this blog… There are no rules... :P

It’s no secret to anyone that has ever read this blog that I have experienced and witnessed some weird and/or crazy situations in Israel. I am a firm believer that, that are some things that only happen here… From the fact that you can’t turn left (driving I mean…), there is no u-turn to the simple fact that, by walking around Tel Aviv you can be audience to innumerous kinds of odd people and behavior…

I have come here and shared with you some of my stories regarding that aspect… However, I have to admit I would post so much more little quips if I only remembered or wrote them down when I though of or witnessed them … I promise to try it from now on, for this humble blog’s sake…

I have two little stories to share with you guys today...

After coming back to Tel Aviv from school, I went to the mall to grab a bite to eat before heading home… There I am, enjoying my double Mc Royal (yeah, I know… Shut up… lol) When I noticed that something out of the ordinary was going on… This elderly couple (in their 70’s) was pouring coke from a McDonald’s cup to an empty bottle of water… Next thing I see, the old man goes to the trash can, throws out the cup, comes back with another one and starting pouring the coke from the “new” one in the bottle… Ok, granted that I might be wrong… but, what the hell was that… it continued like that for while, a little later a kid that finished his lunch stops by their table and gives his unfinished cup of coke to the couple and later on the woman comes back from another trash can with more empty bottles… By that moment I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to feel sorry for them or disgusted… I mean, am I crazy or that was simply weird? You guys might say that they were just “hungry” and all… I’m from Brazil… I’m used (unfortunately… honestly you can never get really used to it… which is a good thing) to seeing hungry people look for food in trash cans on the street… but people that are nicely dressed, in a shopping mall? That was a first…

The other story is just another example of thing that you can only go through in Israel…

I was at school, waiting for a group meeting with my TV teacher when my phone rings… on the screen I see that it is an undisclosed number… I pick it up and it is this guy I went out with once, about 4 months ago… The guy disappeared for about 2 months… called me in February saying he saw my number in his phone and didn’t know who it was… after explanations I never heard from him again… who cares?

Well, today the guy calls me… asks how I am and blah blah blah… then he asks:
“do you have cable at home?”
I say: “what?”
Him: “do you have cable tv at home, Hot or Yes?”
I say: “Yeah, I have Hot…”
Him: “Oh, it’s that I’m an agent at Yes and I was wondering if you would be interested in signing up...”

The rest of the conversation really does not matter, it’s enough to say it didn’t last very long after that…

WTF??????? Are you serious??? Seriously? Is the guy actually calling people he dated to sell cable TV?? I swear, after that phone call I was in shock for a while… I even told what had just happened to my teacher (He is very young)… His response was perfect, he said:
“send a message to him NOW, telling him to NEVER call you again”

Hahahahhahahahhahahahahhaha I swear it made me laugh so much…

That is just another tiny bit example of why Israelis are simply Undeniable… :P
