South Africa is known as a crime-ridden country; rapes and murders per capita are among the highest in the world. However, you`d think that going for a crap in your workplace restroom would be relatively safe.
Not so for poor Rajubi Hasani, who worked in a general store in Durban. He`d been employed for only three weeks at the store and apparently was not acquainted with the shop`s strict toilet code. One afternoon Rajubi was overcome by an urge to defecate and proceeded to the store`s only commode where he duly downloaded a satisfactory set of logs.
On exiting the facility he was confronted by his boss, who inquired as to what had been going on. Upon replying, Rajubi was told in no uncertain terms that the toilet was for the sole use of his boss. Ignorance of the rules regarding the crapper was clearly unacceptable as his employer pulled out his gun and shot Rajubi in the knee.
The manager casually went about his business as Rajubi stumbled outside, collapsed, and was taken to hospital to have the bullet removed.
He said, after being discharged, “Who does this to another person? Where was I supposed to go if I was not meant to use the toilet in the store?”
The police don`t appear to be overly concerned; a case has been opened but no arrests have been made or guns confiscated. Toilet etiquette in South Africa is obviously taken far more seriously than in most countries!
