quaint melody | A Malaysian's life in the bungy land

I came cross this post over at Whatever that reminds me of a similar incident during our tour in Melbourne with my parents. We were on the way to Great Ocean Road, and made a toilet stop at a small cafe. As usual, we took our turn to go to the 2 toilets at the back. I found the lock to be a bit loose and hard to unlock, but didn’t think any of it. So there we were, me and my parents sitting in front having a cup of tea in relaxing mood when suddenly we heard some banging sound coming from the back. So we followed the sound. ‘Help me! I can’t get the door to open!’. There was MR K being locked inside the toilet! WAHAHAHA! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have laugh out loud as much as I did. (wahaha). ‘But did you turn the hook? Just turn it!’ Oh the ever so helpful wife was enthusiastically giving some useful instruction as usual, but to no avail, he tried for a good 10 minutes and the lock would not budge. We came to the concussion that he had to spend the rest of his night there and promptly left. The end.

Haha, lame joke attempt. Of course we didn’t. By then the owner of the cafe noticed the few strange Asians crowding in front of the toilet and came to check. He was really embarrassed when he found out his trap of a toilet is holding a hostage inside. He too, attempted to help by giving the same instruction, but how many ways can one turn a toilet knob? It is either turning clock wise or anti-clock wise. So he went and took out his tool box and attempted to do some serious damage take out the lock. Still the toilet decided it is longing for company and decided to hold the hostage longer. By now, we were all in hysterical laughters, with someone holding the camera frantically making the moment a piece of trivia material. All while MR K was sweating it out inside in total darkness, also in hysterical laughter. Why in total darkness? Because the toilet apparently had a time sensitive light switch to reserve electricity, so it went off after a few minutes. Haha.

Finally, the cafe assistance came to the rescue and tried to safe the day by flinging his body against the door to force it open. You’d think the door will just bang open, but no! Kicking at it didn’t help either. That was one tough door I tell you! At the end, it was the combination of banging, hammering and prying with screwdriver that finally did the trick. MR K was finally free!! It was certainly the ‘highlight‘ of our trip. Now every time we talked about the trip, someone will inevitably say ‘remember the time when MR K was locked in the toilet?’ then burst out laughing. Wait, that’s not all, there’s a video clip to saviour the previous memory over and over again, in years to come. Heh! *queued evil laughters*
