... people promising things and then don´t keep their promises. If you can´t or don´t want to do something, then just don´t promise! A promise just out of politeness but not meant really is for me such a hypocrisy. A ´no´ I can cope much better than that waiting for a promise that never will be fulfilled.

And you? What do you hate most?

Calm down canım - stressing is bad for your back! I agree with you - rather a ´no´ than an empty promise. I also hate people who come to Turkey - either to live or on holiday - and then do nothing but complain about how hot it is, how they can´t get a decent cup of tea, the food is too ´Turkish´

(yes I´ve heard that a few times!), etc., etc., etc.

that is one of the reasons I make VERY FEW promises. If I cannot be certain I can keep it I will not make it. I will always say up front .. I will "try" but I cannot promise ..

OMG how can you visit Turkiye and then say the food is too "turkish" .. to me Turkish tea should be a food group - I love turkish tea!! The people that complain about those things must be a little on the uneducated side

I say that because if they had educated themselves about the country before visiting they would know .. you are going to have "hot" weather in the summer, "Turkish" food and "Turkish" tea ..

I´m off my soapbox
