Lost!
It has happened to me not once but severally; Am in town looking for this shop that sells men's footwear, my phalanges needed some covers. Am referring to details provided to me by my friend Cedric. As I walk down the streets I keep looking for stalls around the exact location of the vendor. I recall at one point I got lost and the most immediate thing I could have done is to call my friend or ask the guys around. I found myself in the middle of stalls full of women outfits and handbags, the women there were wondering what the ......... is wrong with me. But no, some of us feel very proud, we do not want to appear as if we don't know our city....well its human we cant know all the places. So what did I do? I pulled my phone...it wasn't ringing, i put it on my ear and went ''Hallo..yes boss, am already here....where are you...you are not serious...I come back all the way...meeen...come on be serious'' As I did that I was turning around looking for the shop and walking away .
Flossing!
Most of us have used the public means of transport popularly known here as ''matatu''. You've noted that we have guys who get in and are very anti-social. They will unleash their iGadgets and quickly turn on music and straight away log onto ''social media - facebook''. Here they will quickly post an update ''the guy seated next to me must have used mortein doom as a deodorant''. Such guys will keep their eyes glued on their ''ideos''with a skewed look at both angles to check out for the conductor. Now some of you cant stand this; you want to show the guy that you have a powerful phone than theirs. So you unleash yours and two things happen....1 you either log onto a more advanced social site...twitter or second; very worse...you pretend someone is calling you so you quickly go ''hallo, hallo, yes am actually on my way...i should be there shortly i have the signed document...the cheques is ready and banked...yes it was worth KES 1.5M...for the Toyota prado....yes...correct...no problem...hehehe...'' then as you are busy laughing on the ''phone'' your phone decides to embarrass you....chances are you have a very weird loud ringtone. It just rings while you are speaking....hehehehe honestly you are just being silly. We don't care about your may be deals. we forget them as soon as we alight. Word of caution: sometimes the first guy with an ideos is a con; and he just wants to see what phone you have so he can plan on stealing from you. Am not saying you avoid guys with ideos--so don't quote me; okay?
Social Gatherings!
We all love gatherings where we meet new friends; learn new things and exchange ideas. But how on earth do you get glued onto your phone all through such occasions. The most annoying lot are the fellows who unleash their glowing screen phones in movie theatres. Chances are you didn't pay for the movie ticket; and you have a packet of crisps and soda. Some of us are in there to enjoy the movie and not to be disturbed by flashing comet like lights.
Saving of Contacts!
How do you save someone as Mpesa, Safaricom, Jiko repairer, mechanic....when in real sense they aren't what the name says they are. Most of the time such names are used to identify the illegal affairs popularly known as ''mpango wa kando'' I have no idea how people have saved me in their phones....it would be interesting to know!
The errors are more and the list can't end today...so I will finish this some other day....I have to pick this call...she just called!
Have a fabulous week guys.
Ernie Your Boy!
