It’s the stuff that soap operas are made of. This video of a man attempting to escape a woman’s bedroom when her husband unexpectedly returns home has gone viral and honestly? It’s actually mental!
The video starts with the husband and wife having an intense argument on the third-floor patio of an apartment building.
“Whose shirt is this?!” the husband shouts in Portuguese.
The wife throws the shirt over the balcony and into the crowd that has gathered beneath the patio to watch the drama unfold. Suddenly the other man appears in the bedroom window. Wearing his boxers he decides to make a quick escape by tying clothes and bedsheets together to form a rope. When he reaches a window sill below, the man stops and the crowd starts taunting him and the woman’s husband.
They can be heard yelling “Cornudo” a word for a man being cheated on. The crowd dares the man to jump as emergency services arrive and place a mat below the window.
When he finally reaches the ground, the escapee shakes his fist at the woman and her husband and then shakes it at the crowd before he marches off.
You wouldn’t see that in an episode of Coronation Street (well, you probably would but it wouldn’t be as funny).
