Turkey’s most law-abiding citizen claiming his “Göz Hakkı”
In Turkey, there’s a social norm called “göz hakkı” — roughly, “the right of the onlooker.” If someone sees you eating or being offered food, it’s considered polite to offer them a small share. It’s not a legal right, just a cultural expectation tied to generosity and social harmony. People even say that if you don’t share, the “blessing” (bereket) of the food is lost.
Looks like this guy didn’t want the fishmonger to risk that — so he stepped in and took his share. A very polite heist.
