The bit that got me was when their religion didn't allow them to drink, smoke or gamble (or so i was told) and they accompanied my ex and the rest of the company to a day at the races, drinking and smoking  |
This reminds me of something that happens where I work.
A couple of years back, the muslim students used to congregate at the bottom of one of the fireescapes to pray. If one or two did this, it would not be a problem. However, they frequently had more than 20 people. Thus, it was a major safety hazard (the fire exit was essentially blocked while they were praying).
Not one asked if the Uni would provide anywhere, and they complained when asked by the building's safety officer to move.
Eventually, they did ask, and a room was booked for them, which they still use. Although when they are washing their feet, they still leave all the toilets in a state.
