Respect
I was in the middle of making dinner when my door bell rang before. I don't know how it is for other people, but in my life it is very rare for someone to stop by just like that, at least someone I want to see. It is usually either Jehovah's Witnesses or The TV-People (agents from Sweden's public TV that track those down who do not pay the monthly fee - people like me).
I had already built up a decent bit of irritation - for whoever it was that couldn't leave their fellow citizen alone a Saturday night - when I looked through the door hole.
Outside stood my upstairs neighbor and his little son. I opened.
"Hi," my neighbor said smiling. "I just wanted you to know you've left your keys in the door."
I heard myself thanking him and as I grabbed the bundle of keys, they walked on.
Tonight I learned that some people take the time to show respect to their fellow citizens.
Even on a Saturday night.
Ja visst blir man glad över människor som bryr sig.
Don´t worry about the "TV-people". They have no right to enter your home an check if it´s true that you don´t have a TV. As long as you stick to your story when you talk to them you´ll be fine. And if you get caught, all that happens is that you will have to start paying..
