Re: ..:: Anonymous Lota Bandit ::..
Shikra:
Same thing has happened to me. Only a little difference.
I went to the bathroom in Masjid. Before I sat down and relaxed, I checked the lota and it was empty. So I took it out and filled it. Then I went back in and started taking care of my business. Some old dude came in the next stall and after using the bathroom, he took my lota. I was pissed, but I kept quiet. Not only did he use my lota, he kept it in the other stall. Then some other desi uncle came next door, I said “Can I have the lota please?”. Uncle said in heave accent “Vat?”. I said “Can you hand me the lota please?” Uncle said “Vat?”. I knew from the accent it’s a desi dude, so I said in Urdu “Mujhe lota dey dein please” and he finally understood and did.
What does one have to do to get the lota back here?
Well, atleast you got it back. The Lota Bandit I had to deal with just snatched the lota and it never returned :(. I didn’t know what to say - it was a very awkward situation.
