A Domestic Worker’s Hilarious Bathtub Escape Goes Viral
- A domestic worker's lighthearted TikTok video showing her chilling in a bathtub during a heatwave has taken the internet by storm.
- The video quickly racked up millions of views and likes as people couldn't stop laughing at her clever antics.
- Social media users flooded the comments section, praising the video for its humor and creativity.
Let me tell you about this one domestic worker who had all of South Africa (or what we call Mzansi) in stitches. She posted a video on TikTok where she invited her employer—let’s call her "madam"—to join her in what she hilariously referred to as a "swimming pool," but was actually just a bathtub. Talk about making the best of a hot day!
This viral sensation came courtesy of the user @ruerue71, whose content lit up TikTok with laughter and joy. It's moments like these that remind us why social media can be so much fun.
Chilling Out Under the South African Sun
In the video, the domestic worker is seen lounging outside in a makeshift bathtub filled with water, sipping on a glass of juice like she's on vacation. When madam asks whether she's finished with her chores, our protagonist doesn't miss a beat. She calmly assures her that the tasks will get done—before playfully extending (and then retracting) an invitation for madam to join her in the tiny "pool." Classic!
