On TikTok, the video of a mechanic spraying a cyclist with a bucket of water makes Internet users laugh a lot. If the images filmed in Zolder may surprise at first sight, we understand them better once the owner of Cars James gives his version of the facts.
“Respect for everyone”
Indeed, he explains that the cyclist has been spitting on the cars located in front of the garage, and this for months. “We don’t know what this man’s motive is, we don’t know him and we don’t know why he spits on our vehicles daily,” Mesut explains.
“We have respect for everyone and we are happy to deal with problems by discussing them when they arise. But we can’t do anything if we don’t know what’s going on. To treat us in this way is disrespectful and unacceptable,” says the owner. The caption on TikTok suggests that the owners believe it is a racist motive.
A carousel that lasted for months
The owner continues his explanations: “We have seen saliva on our cars for months, without knowing where it came from. Even cars that were ready for collection by our customers were degraded. Looking at our CCTV cameras, we noticed that this man was spitting every time he passed on his bike. We had had enough and decided to surprise him with a bucket of water. »
And it must be said that the cold shower did not please the cyclist, who copiously insulted Mesut, or rather his mother. “It’s a shame he said that, my mother was unique in the world,” concludes Mesut. The cyclist, who has not been identified, may find another route to make his daily trip!
