Fuck that guy, but at the same time that’s a ridiculous sentence.
Honestly, you have to be mental to go to one of these countries. I know they want to become tourist hubs, but there’s just so many reasons to avoid.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah I refuse to ever take a flight route through any of those countries. I don’t care if it’s a 15 min layover.
Same. I wont even get close to that region of the world.
Why do people still visit Dubai? There's all kinds of harmless or relatively minor stuff that can get you thrown in prison there. I wouldn't even change planes in that theocratic shithole.
I mean, insulting staff is disgusting behaviour, but 3 months of prison is absolutely insane. These countries are still hellholes stuck in the past, and I'll make sure never to visit them.
He could have just paid the £2,150 fine, but instead he chose to appeal...
Engaging in legal action in a foreign country isn't exactly the brightest idea. Pay the fine and get out.
Like, 3 months is an insane sentence, but it sounds like he just leaned in at every opportunity.
Love how much OP is shilling for UAE. I doubt OP would be so okay with the jail sentence if it were them who had to serve it.
I’m not a big fan of the UAE, but I do like the idea of criminalizing the abuse of service workers. The American “kiss their ass faster and more thoroughly” style isn’t fair to employees, and only rewards bad behavior.
I'm not crazy about a lot of these places but I do so hate assholes who treat the waitstaff like their own personal lot in life. Fuck this guy if these ~~alligators~~ allegations are true 🐊
Edit: every time I hear the word allegations, my mind immediately turnd to
Fuck Dubai.
Badly-behaved person meets a black sheep country.
What sucks is you know the rich fuckers in Dubai are doing every drug underneath the sun.
The rich fuckers abuse their slaves daily too.
A disgraceful incident but a completely different case.
