Wearing a mask and sanitising our hands when going out in public has become the new norm. However, some people are still having trouble getting used to life under lockdown.

One elderly man had the right idea but his execution failed when he sanitised his hands at a convenience store at a petrol station.

The man can be seen walking into the shop wearing a mask. However, instead of using the sanitation stand in front of him, he took a short left and ended up at the slush puppy machine instead.

"My Fellow South Africans... please remember to sanitise."
