To not feel very sorry for woman stuck in Turkey.

[Viviennemary]

I was reading about a woman stuck in Turkey. She was there with her partner who was having teeth implants. So they got drunk and she fell against the glasss shower screen in the hotel. And it smashed. So they did a runner. Police chase. Got caught put in jail. Told they owed £15k or else. Sad face. Hmm. Though it does seem very steep for a shower screen.

Yeah, I thought it was a smallish amount when I looked but couldn't remember.

Ah yes, you are right. I didn't see the . there. Should have put my glasses on before reading!

It's one that separated the bathroom from the bedroom and you can find images online. Nothing would cost £15k, it's also turkey where they manufacture the items

Natural consequences comes to mind. I’m happy with them staying out there for as long as necessary. Maybe some hard labour to work off the fine.

She has a daughter though. I know they’ve behaved very badly trying to run away and such, but to indefinitely detain her seems cruel to her child.

🙄🤔😂😂

I read that GFM link, particularly liked the part where she said "I asked for a lawyer, because that's what we do at home". No stranger to this process then!

And yes, reading her account makes it very clear why she needs her anti psychotics.

She isn’t being illegally detained

I suspect there will come a point that she either pays or does time

Zero sympathy. The Go Fund Me page is devoid of genuine remorse or accountability. She has psychosis and depression and chose to drink alcohol which likely isn't compatible with the medication she is on. By her own admission she smashed up the room and in the process broke the shower screen.

Rather than try to be clever she ought to just pay the £15k rather than spend £££ on staying out there and lawyers fees.

If she truly cared about getting back to her daughter she would have paid the fine with the money she had an available, and come home.

It's not even clear from the gofundme what she's intending to use the money for.

Indeed! It's not a special card I've seen anywhere...

I bet someone here will design one for us now. Go on... 😂

And why is she only asking for the £2.4K? What’s that going to get her?

I thought it was odd when the article said she had spent 7k on living expenses while over there.... why wouldn't you put that 7k towards the repairs 😅

Its all about an appropriate locus of control, perhaps that needs to be taught in school. And for me sadness for her child.

Shes enough money for eyebrows and fillers and teeth and to go on a holiday without her child and to get drunk and to perhaps buy drugs. That’s hard to square that she couldn’t go to reception and apologise and offer to pay.

Makes no sense whatsoever, if you think the mafia are involved and everyone is corrupt and you have the money then you pay the money and get the hell out of there!!

Was rather puzzled by the comparison also, odd. Don't thank Nazanin or the mcCanns took drugs and too much alcohol (then trashed a hotel room) so comparison is ridiculous.
Nowt strange as folks though🤔

It doesn't add up that she's spent £7k in 6 weeks living in "cheap hotels" and how much did that tattoo cost?! She's also claiming she can buy her medication over the counter even after going cold turkey for 2 weeks. Strikes me that she's having a ball out there at her family's expense - and let's hope the DWP are watching this.

Silly girl will likely get evicted for non payment of rent, her benefits stopped and her DD is in the care of relatives.... all because she smashed a hotel room up, did a runner and now won't pay the fine. I bet she's never done a days work in her life to have any concept of the value of money.

Her GoFundMe says her family/friends sent her £15k but she decided to spend £2.5k on a lawyer (to try and reduce the £15k) and has since spent £7,500 on hotels and food over the last 6 weeks? Edit: she even got a tattoo with that money!

I'm finding it hard to feel sympathetic given this + her retelling of the events.

I need to thank you for your post. You've summed up the daily mail beautifully

The comments on this thread is the reason I so miss the 😂 reaction button.
I nearly when fainted when I heard there was a gofundme set up 🫣 but not really. Fools and their money.

TBH there's no educating stupid...

Or mentally ill does as mentally ill is.

Where did it say she got the tattoo with the money? I would assume she had that done previously.
