You Ain’t the Boss of Me!
BURAIDAH, 18 November 2007 — Armed with brooms, two cleaning workers at Buraidah Central Hospital went to war against each other over who was the boss of whom, according to yesterday’s Okaz newspaper. The conflict started when each cleaning woman tried to impose orders upon the other over which areas to clean. Both cleaners refused to follow orders given by the other and the war of words degenerated into an actual physical war with brooms. The two women chased each other around the hospital swinging their brooms at each other until other workers came and confiscated their weapons.
