Woman on the way for 38 years finally reaches office; gets fired

Her family members, colleagues and friends were stumped. Munni, 24, had told everyone that she was on her way to work. That was in 1982. She reached only yesterday.

In a time before cellphones, the last call Munni received was from her boss, who she told she was on the way and would be in the office soon. But soon could not come soon enough.

Before that conversation, she had called her husband, who was also told that she was on the way. For 38 years, they all waited. Her husband remarried after a decade long wait, while her boss eventually hired someone to fill Munni's position.

When she finally arrived yesterday, Munni found herself without a job and a husband. She instantly broke down in tears.

"I was stuck in traffic. You know how horrible Dhaka traffic is!" she was quoted as saying.

She then set back on her way home. She has yet to reach.
