This woman eyed me ni sha. Like eyes rolling towards me like a painter’s roller. Kpekele kpekele, ta ni o san? All because I refused to give her son something due to the way they stress us each time it’s time to return it. She saw me coming from afar and eyed me. Then, turned back when I got to her shop. She had earlier snubbed my greeting in the morning. So, it’s not me that’ll get another free snubbing by greeting her.
My childhood self was telling me to go back and eye her with a sprinkle of hisses. Or maybe confront her but nah — I choose my fight wisely. This one wey don break bottle for someone for my front before? I understand her type — those who love trouble as their fave meal. Fist fighting is a no-no for me, but I might return that eye rolling when next our eyes meet again.
Enough of the eye roller. Let’s talk about people who stress us whenever it’s time to return our property they borrowed. Have you ever come across people like that? How do you handle them?
For me, I give them grace if it’s their first and probably second time trying such but there’s an 80% probability there won’t be a third time. If you like, turn to bird — ain’t giving you nada! Why should you be stressing me when it’s time to return my property? Something you promised to return? Borrowing has two rules — return it in good shape and don’t stress the owner.
And if you fall into the category of the “borrow borrow wey no dae return in peace”, please change. Na bad behaviour wey no get good liner. Don’t let people regret giving you things. Learn to keep to promises — it’s one of those little things that really matter. It speaks volume about your personality. Change!!!
