So, earlier this morning, I saw a water vendor (meruwa) heading to our neighbor's house to sell water. I called out to him and asked him to sell us 3 gallons of water as well. He pushed his truck closer to our door and asked where he should pour the water. I directed him to the visitor's toilet.
After he finished, the meruwa approached me and asked for his payment. I inquired about the cost, and he said it was #1,200. I was a bit próvóckéd by the price he called and asked if that was for 3 gallons. He claimed he had poured 12 gallons, not 3. I was confused because the container could only hold 3 gallons.
The meruwa insisted that I pay him the full amount. I went to check the toilet and found that the container was empty. I became even more confused and asked him again where he had poured the water. He pointed to the toilet's water closet (WC), claiming that's where he poured all 12 gallons.
That's when the argument started. The meruwa thréáténéd to tâké áctîon ágáînst me if I didn't pay him. In the end, I reluctantly paid for water I never received or saw.
If you live in the North, you will likely come across young water vendors. Be cáutîóus when dealing with them, as they can be tróûblésóme. Having recently moved from rural areas to the city, they may not be familiar with urban norms. Take thréáts from them seriously and avoid cónfróñtátióñs to stay out of trouble, please.
