If you spend a night at the 24-hour Engen on Orange Street (technically Annandale Street, but don’t be like that) in Gardens, you will see some interesting characters.
Top of the list are the pissed-up folks coming off Long Street, desperate for a pie or a faceful of Steers.
Who amongst us hasn’t dreamt of going a little rogue, ransacking the pie counter, and ripping open packets of food at will? Still, you contain yourself, you pay for your pie, and you eat it outside like a ravenous hyena.
Not this chap at the Engen garage on Duncan Street in Hatfield, Pretoria. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, and clearly coming off the back of quite a bender, he completely lost the plot.
Via News24, observe:
When the Engen in question was contacted for comment, the owners said the matter had been handled privately, and did not wish to comment further.
If I had to guess, I would say somebody’s parents wrote a sizeable cheque to make the problem go away.
No idea what led to this guy’s meltdown, but I’ve heard it said before that booze and ‘roids can be a dangerous combination.
