Rant

I worked the night in Budapest, and stayed longer. My father tried to call me thrice, twice of which did actually get to me (loss of signal), but I didn't pick it up. Apparently he also sent me a few messages, but I didn't retrieve those*.

When I got home, of course that was the first thing I heard of, along with the stupidest reason yet.
(approximate from memory) "Why don't you pick up phone or reply to messages? We were really worried about you. There's pride over there right now desbite Orbán banning it. It's full of LGBT perverts, anything could have happened to you."

And the first time I told them I'll work the night (I don't know if I can use "nightshift" when it isn't shift work ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯), they were very strong on disagreeing with that, stating that if I'll be outside at night, I could "get raped by a homosexual".

* Calls are forwarded to my current number, but that's not an option for SMS. I updated my current number where relevant, leaving out just my family, which is basically just my parents and aunts spamming me with christian stuff or telling me to tell my mom to call them (why?). Retrieving SMS thus refers to switching the SIM card for like 2 minutes (switched to eSIM for convenience).
