                    Coping issues. (Ya think?)

The incident that brought the police to a PTT (post office) on Güllük
Avenue in the Deniz neighborhood of Muratpaşa district, involved
a young lady named Dilara O.  At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon
the day before yesterday, Dilara O. tried to withdraw 1,500 TL from
an ATM at the PTT but when the machine stopped the money didn't
come out and her card got stuck. (!)


    What would they do?

Enraged, Dilara O. began to scream and kick the ATM screen.  She
then went into the PTT office, knocked over flowers and kicked
the glass windows, while cursing at the PTT employees.  Dilara O.
demanded they get her money and her card.  Police were called and
they tried to calm Dilara O., without success, so she was handcuffed.


What happens when her Instagram account gets frozen?


Claiming she was being victimized and that police were behaving
badly toward her, Dilara O. spit at the policeman who handcuffed
her.  This went on for about 30 minutes, after which Dilara O. was
taken into custody.  PTT officials did not file a complaint, though,
so she was later released.
