Since being back in South Africa there have been a few things I've needed to deal with - two of which are applying for a new passport (mine is full), and re-newing the driver's license (mine has expired). Any one who lives in South Africa will know that visiting the home affairs office/ traffic department may be likened to a Shakespearian tragedy - long, complex and usually resulting in a painful death. My lovely dad drove me to the traffic department last week. (obviously he drove me - my license has expired. keep up.) Re-newing your driver's license involves fingerprinting and eye tests. So off I went to take the eye test -
Guy administering eye-test seems very bored with his job:
Me: No, guy, it's really not funny.
Traffic Man: HA HA HA! it's TOO funny! i joke! i joke!
Me: i thought i was blind.
Traffic Man: haha haha!! puppies!! haha!!
*silence*
Traffic Man: Ok. Ok, your eyes are fine. Now, you will need to come in next week to re-take your driving test.
Me: WHAT?!
Traffic Man: Ha ha ha! ...... it's too easy!

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Now this makes me proudly South African. Humour. We've got it in large, delicious doses. :)
ROTFL - the graphic depiction is spot on, I took my tests in Joburg and Mmabatho and I swear they're all like that. :-)
Hahaha... I'd rather get someone joking than someone who has a fat lip and zero personality!
Much love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde
