Let me pull an 'Ahmet Vardar'

There was a colorful journalist. Ahmet Vardar.

He has passed away.

He was known for laying down the law.

He came up from the ranks as a reporter.

He had a style all his own.

He once jumped into a conversation by saying, "Hey, Minister of Health."

People would try to do their jobs more seriously rather than fall victim to Ahmet Vardar's tongue.

His scolding was harsh, his hand was heavy.

He has clearly not been replaced, as some institutions have lost their seriousness.

Recently, a message came from 'Zorlu Enerji'.

My electricity meter needed to be changed.

Free of charge.

Its service life had expired.

Fine, change it, I said.

As soon as it was changed, a week or two later, an electricity bill arrived that nearly gave me a heart attack.

Well, my heart did skip a beat, to be honest.

I was faced with a bill of exactly 61 thousand liras.

Even if I were running a cold storage warehouse in my house, the bill wouldn't be 61 thousand liras.

My monthly electricity bill, which averages 800 liras, had shot up to exactly 61 thousand liras.

I didn't know what to do.

While I was on the verge of dying, my neighbor, who is a cardiologist, said let's not call customer service.

We called and filed our complaint.

Meanwhile, the instruments in his hand started listening to my heart.

There was necrosis in my heart.

My working capacity, which was 65 percent, had dropped to 63 percent.

He gave me sublingual medication and blood thinners, but added that it is not very possible for my heart capacity to return to 65.

He also added that my life expectancy had been shortened by 3 to 5 years.

2-3 days later, a message came from 'Zorlu Enerji'.

Your bill is 469 liras and 60 kuruş, it said.

I didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

'Zorlu Enerji', which made us sad by making us lose our donkey, brought the donkey out from where it was hiding and made us happy this time.

But how we will hold 'Zorlu Enerji' accountable for the shortening of my life, that is something the courts will look into.
