Let’s talk about humor, folks. South Africans, or Mzansi peeps as we like to call them, are known for their knack for turning everyday moments into comedy gold. One particular prankster, who used to be a teacher, has made a name for himself by pulling off the ultimate "staring contest" prank. This time, he took his act to Shoprite, one of the biggest grocery chains in the country, and let me tell you, it was a hit.

The man, known on TikTok as @quecomplex6, isn't shy about sharing his antics with the world. In this particular video, he decided to take his quirky humor to the aisles of Shoprite, where the fun really began.

Unbothered and Unfazed: The Woman's Reaction

So, here’s what went down: The lady in question had her grocery cart parked right behind the prankster. As she picked up items from the shelves, the prankster made it his mission to follow her every move—staring straight into her face with an intensity that would make anyone squirm. But guess what? She didn’t bat an eyelid. She just kept shopping like nothing was happening, proving that some people just can’t be fazed.

A DUT Student’s Ghostly Prank

When College Life Meets Halloween

While we’re on the subject of pranks, let’s talk about another student who decided to spice up campus life with a ghostly twist. A Durban University of Technology (DUT) student went all out by dressing up as a ghost and scaring her fellow students. With white face paint and a sheet draped over her, she knocked on their doors, leaving them startled and amused when they opened to see who was there.

The video of the prank quickly went viral, with social media users praising her creativity. One student, in particular, shared their experience and feelings after being pranked, which added another layer of humor to the mix. It’s moments like these that remind us how fun and unpredictable life can be, especially when you throw in a little bit of mischief.
