There are incompetents in all walks of life.
Fellow hires a guard to help out at a security counter in a commercial building
He has to note the name and phone number of all visitors and call the office being visited
There is of course both an alphabetical, numeric and floor directory of the 202 businesses and two consulates in this 26-floor building
In the first two days on duty, he turned away 42 visitors, telling them that no-one was answering the phone
One visitor for the Swiss Consulate, not happy with the answer, called the office from his mobile. The lady said no-one had called and came down to the ground floor
Turns out that this guard did not read any of the lists and just pressed "0" on the phone instead of say, 133
When confronted, he became aggressive and started smashing phones, screens and poured a bottle of Coca-cola onto the turnstile release mechanism, causing R13000 damage
He was dismissed and went to the CCMA. When shown his violent behavior on camera, he walked out, not before sweeping everything off the desk onto the floor
He is now employed by the same guarding co, but has been redeployed to washing their vans and mini-buses
