I’m actually really shaken up. I’m currently in Antalya, solo trip at what I thought was a nice hotel. It’s 0245 here. Since 2200 I’ve had 4 calls asking me to turn my music down by the guest relations. I’m not playing any music or even have the tv on. Quiet as the proverbial mouse.
This last call at 0200 was by a male who started barking down the phone: do you’ speak German, do you speak English? Me being half asleep just mumbled : English, why? And he started yelling at me to turn off my music. I tried to explain that I’d been called earlier and I’m not playing music. And then he said ‘why don’t you fuck off!’ I was a bit startled and said What? And he replied like he was talking to a child: You called us so why don’t you fuck off you dumb ass! Then started literally shouting at me down the phone at which point I hung up.
Just spoken to Jet2 who were lovely and called the hotel reception and said they’ll get the rep to contact me in the morning, as understandably can’t really do much at this time of night/morning. But then she said, if it escalates then please call 112 for the police and I hadn’t even thought about that. So now I’m worried that some hotel bloke is going to try to get into my room- possibly escalating in my head too much now.
Heres the other thing though: there is no noise in this part of the hotel. It’s dead quiet. I went on the balcony and I can’t hear a thing from anywhere.
Im now wide awake but also really tired and I just want to go home. It’s just really mucked up my holiday and I was having such a nice time, just chilling and relaxing on my own. I’m not due to go until Sunday and I’m generally not an anxious person but this has really put the wind up me. It was the nasty way that he spoke to me that I haven’t experienced, even when I used to work on the 9’s for the police.
I don’t even know why I’m on here posting about it. Probably just to keep a record and maybe validation of my feelings I guess. I can’t call DH as he’s asleep at home and he can’t do anything from there.
