No pockets in Nepal.

Nepalese authorities have come up with a novel way to try and fight rampant corruption at Nepal’s main international airport. According to a report by the BBC they are issuing their bribe-taking staff with pocket-less pants.

That should stop ‘em cold!

After all there couldn’t possibly be any other places that they could hide money could there?

So how corruptible do you think we are as a general race of humans?

Have you ever found money and just put it in your pocket without any attempt to find the owner? Umm I have. That’s a little bit corrupt.

Or have you ever been given too much change by a sleep-deprived grocery store clerk and not bothered to tell? Oh God I am blushing now! That’s slightly more corrupt.

Have you ever given better service to a customer based on well they tip? You bet I have. Oh dear, there’s no hope for me. I am totally corrupt.

I guess I’ll just go and sew up all my pockets!

Okay your turn? How corrupt are you? I want all the gory details.

  2. Angela,

    Sorry…no gory details. I’m the type who has gone home to find that I wasn’t charged for an item, called them and went back to the store to pay for it. They were confused.

    @ CC – Welcome back, hope all ok with you! :-)

    Angela – I have had the grocery store thing happen to me and hands up, didn’t give the extra change back as I made sure I counted it very slowly as I walked away very quickly..

    A Pakistani cab driver here in Dubai recently found a wallett containing AED 20,000 (Can 6,000) and returned it to the head office where it was finally claimed, all in tact…

    He got a tip at least and a pay rise for his honesty….

    Oh and this pocketless thing…could lead to other crimes as well me thinks – people hooking their thumbs over their belt loops as Nepalese line dancing becomes the order of the day…
