Furs & Furious

, , , , , | Working | January 5, 2026

I’m a tourist, visiting Istanbul, Türkiye. I’m trying to enjoy the markets, but a lot of very aggressive sellers keep targeting me as a single woman:

Seller #1: “Pretty lady! I sell the best furs in Istanbul! They would look good on you!”

Seller #2: “A fur coat for the lady! You’d look fashionable both here and at home!”

Eventually, I would interrupt them mid-sentence:

Seller #3: “Would the lady be interested in a fur—”

Me: “—I am a vegan! How could you?! Furs are disgusting! Leave me alone, you murderer!”

I would glare angrily until they backed off.

I’m not vegan, and I’m okay with furs. I just don’t like annoying sellers.
