I notice a lot of these great stories involve Nigeria. I'm not a pilot but had to go and service some equipment in Lagos. The airport was a complete shambles inside, outside was worse. Got a "taxi" into town. Stuck in traffic there was a couple of LOUD thumps on the car roof. I sh$t myself and looked out the window to see a pickup truck with half a dozen "soldiers". T shirts, shorts and thongs. One of them was about to thump my taxi roof again with the butt of his AK47, welcome to Lagos!
I'll never forget the way the Chief Chemist communicated with the Lab staff. He literally screamed at them, frequently! I couldn't get out of the place quick enough. I rejected a later request to service the equipment.
I've been to some dodgy places but Lagos takes the cake....!
