There are some people I would really like to slap their cold asses to high heavens above.
The list is rather long but I’ll dwell only on a few.
Couples at an ATM machine.
If you ever find yourself behind such, either sweet talk them to allow you to use the machine before they do or get a chair – it will take awhile!
It’s really amusing. Here is breakdown of events
Insert Card
Put PIN (confirm with Wife who searches for secret notebook in her hand bag where it’s jotted down)
Check Balance. Argue about the balance
Request for a mini statement. Peruse & Argue about Ksh 1000 Withdrawals (at weird hours) at that ATM near you favourite Bar & Visa sales in west gate mall. Reach a consensus (shingo upande)
Timed out: Insert ATM card again & PIN
How much to withdrawal: Get out the shopping list and other budgets. Discuss what’s necessary and what to strike out.
Timed Out: (see above)
Finally: Make a withdrawal
Take money & Remove card
Count Money and redistribute accordingly
Insert card & PIN again: Check Balance
AARRRGGGGHHHHH!
Suggestion: Banks should introduce Couples ATM booths (they can sort out their money problem there and any other ‘problem’ they might have)
Matatu kange’s (Conductor)
Scene 1:
You try to negotiate bu-flight (fare) from Mbaoni to Ashu….
He tells you to go to a fuel station and fuel ‘yourself’ with that Ashu and walk to your destination.
You will forgiven if go ‘Jackie Chan’ on him
Scene 2:
You are broke, it’s middle of the month. You collect all coins in the house to make fare. After you pay your fare he refunds you the full amount and tells you to keep the coins for Sunday offering & donations!
Women drivers: No offence meant!
If you can’t MULTITASK, keep off the roads. How do you stop in the middle of the road and answer your call?
Nairobi pedestrians
When Lights TURN RED and walk sign is GREEN, then cross the road
When it turns Amber then GREEN, give way!
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH
Nosy-people asking stupid questions and they are not blind.
‘Xs, Are you writing a post in your blog’
‘No you damn tweet, Am training this goat here to play a guitar!’
‘Huh? Which goat?’
I rest my case.
Overheard
Zimbabwe Electoral commision are yet to release the presidential results on election conducted on 29/03/2008
Reason: The rigging machine is yet to arrive from Kenya
LOL! naona you’ve heard your fair share. those pedestrians jazz me, then they swing you that look of “YOU give me way, it’s a crossing lane.”
was wondering kwani outside RRP kuna ATM.
you riding up in a lift then it stops at 9th floor…then an idiot hapo nje points juu ama downwards! mind u the direction lights are in perfect working order!…..you point sideways using your thumb!
WTF!!!!!!!!! @ ATM will suffice.
its an art I tell you, one about banks / atm’s…you are behind someone in a bank line then the idiot goes to the counter and withdraws money and that’s it, no check request or money transfer…just a withdrawal.
And I am left wondering, doesn’t the bank (inside & outside) have an ATM for withdrawals?? Why would anyone make the line??
lol couples do that??
I HAVE TO COME TO THE DEFENCE OF WOMEN DRIVERS! And no I do not stop whilst driving to answer my phone hapo hapo.
But in their defence- sii driving and speaking on your phone is illegal- it’s not that hey can not multi-task. It is just that they would rather not break the law hehehehehehehe. Then again stopping in the middle of the road is being a dangerous driver—isssshhhh let me go look up some form of defence on that one.
What happened 2 ur SEX lessons? Slow down on that women part. Men r so against women driving coz they’r careful on th rules. Right? I also av an issue wit th lights sm pple think its a catwalk lane & what annoys th most is th COUNCIL ASKARIs, they only arrest motorists n not pedestrians yet ndio ukiuka sheria kwa wingi.
rotflo…i’ll figure out a comment as soon as i heal my stitch and fix my make-up 😉
The lift guys again… those people who when the lift opens, they just walk in… how the hell are those in the lift supposed to get out?
So it was your turn? Ask me on Saturday was kept for almost 10 mins till I told thenm to move aside two minutes will be done they continue.. pole.
When you see couples at an ATM, look for another already.
Matatu touts are just special, fare is 30 bob you give him a fifty and he asks, wangapi(how many). You would be forgiven if you said mimi na wewe(you and i). I mean how daft can one be?
That one for the ATM bado sijaona. Lakini that Kange is very bright. For a moment there I wish I was one and give a commuter that line.
If you think couples at an ATM queing at a rural ATM that is a true test of patience but I like the couples booth idea.
LOL at the wisecracking Kange that one is just too special.
I have totally no respect for jaywalking pedestrians who expect cant respect the don’t walk sign if I stop at a Red light they must also stop at a don’t walk sign and don’t get me started about jaywalking aaargh.
Where do you place the conductors who keep asking you “Unaenda unaenda” yet you are busy shaking you head to say no and making no effort to board their mat, then they insult you for not boarding the Mat? grrrrrh
Worse than couples is standing behind a gaggle of teenage girls; the way some of them go about it, you might think they’re running the stock market from the ATM. My heart falls anytime I go to one and see 2+ teen girls clustered around it.
he he he
120 poeple, one toilet, not a pretty thought…
anyway, hope u still surviving in SA, didint have time to read the rest of the post..
he he he
add this to the list: the people who nag, like ask u if u have done something for like 5 times, it goes like this:

mum: just check
me: allright, i’ll check
mum: did u find if u closed it?
