A woman in South Africa avoided getting thrown out of a Pick n Pay supermarket by using her panties as a mask.
Smartphone camera footage caught the bizarre interaction in which the store guard asked the maskless woman, who was waiting with her cart of groceries in the checkout line, to put on a face mask or leave the store.
Having no mask handy, the resourceful renegade objects before pausing, presumably the moment a lightbulb went off in her head.
In the next moment, the cheeky customer can be seen reaching up beneath her paisley-printed skirt, then pulling her black thong underwear down her legs and up to her face, where she placed it in such a way as to cover her nose and mouth.
“Happy?” she asks sarcastically. An astonished onlooker can also be heard uttering “good lord” from behind the the camera.
Meanwhile, another shopper standing on line directly behind the now-pants-less woman encouraged the stunt.
