Jun 10, (Emirates 247) : An Egyptian man who just got a job in a contracting company in Saudi Arabia decided to resign and leave the Gulf Kingdom after seeing a lizard on his desk.
His Saudi colleague, who wanted to joke with the new employee, went to his car, brought his pet desert lizard and threw it on the Egyptian man’s desk in his office at the company in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
“The Egyptian was frightened and went into a hysterical fit before starting to vomit as his Saudi colleague could not stop laughing,” ‘Sada’ newspaper said.
“He was taken to hospital where he was treated.
“The next day he submitted his resignation and decided to return to Egypt despite attempts by his colleague and other company staff members to change his mind.”
