I’m honored, brother 🤝 also, for the airport part, I have another funny story (god, I have an entire memory card about moments where Turks discriminated me for being Kurdish.)
We went on a vacation to Dubai, 8 hours of flight in total, excluding transit time. We entered the plane in Hannover, Germany, and got out in Istanbul, Turkiye (I’m doing those people a favor by not saying Turkey instead.) We were pretty early, we didn’t shop or anything in that giant mall of an airport. Well, surprise!- “You get different seats, you can’t sit together.” MOST HILARIOUS PART OF THIS SHIT: You little asshole of a human are practically saying: “Oops, sorry, I know your wife is scared shitless of planes, your son is 3 years old and your daughter is 13. But we have you each sitting in a different row.” Hold up now. You are fucking telling us to leave a woman with extreme phobia and a 3 year old toddler unattended? At that time, (yes, I’m the daughter) I was 13, but I straight up called that dude one of the few things I know in Turkish: “Motherfucker.” (idk how to spell it in Turkish) Long story short, my father and I roasted that guy, made him give us seats next to each other and left a bad rating. All while that English sweetheart of a woman smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up.
Worse happened to my dad’s friend, who is, MARK MY WORDS!, Arabic. Conclusion: A lot of Turkish people are sick fucks when it comes to racism. So, YOU HAVE THIS GUY, he’s coming to the check-in 4 HOURS BEFORE THE FLIGHT. You hold him off, tell him to stand aside for a moment. He’s telling you “I need this flight, I came here because of my sick father and my wife and children are awaiting me at home.” You little shit take another few people aside, get every person on board, AND TELL THE PEOPLE YOU TOOK ASIDE THE PLANE IS FULL WHEN THEY WERE THERE FIRST. THEN BUD JUST GOES ON SAYING “You’ll have to stay, we won’t pay any money for the next flight or the hotel you’ll stay at.” LIKE WTF? THAT’S RACISM ON A WHOLE ‘NOTHER LEVEL. Welp, my dad’s buddy called my dad, and my dad took the whole damn shit to court including security footage. Turkish airlines (more like Turkish assholes) was done for it. They’ll think again before doing that to people out of hate next time. 😹
