Hung out with some friends for the better part of one evening talking about everything from music to food to movies and even some serious concerns about politics. We were all having some drinks and I had a glass of red wine (as it's good for the heart abi), when mistakenly, i suddenly pushed the less drunken glass of wine on the table towards my OCD friend. Before I knew it, her white blazer had a red map! She quickly took it off as she had a camisole on and screamed " Nawa for you babe, see what you have done, see me see wahala now! " I felt sorry, but thank goodness there was a laundromat quite close to where we were. I suggested we go there and i foot the bill. We folded the blazer into my bag and strolled down to get it cleaned up.
The laundromat had few customers who already had their clothes washing. We quickly gave the blazer to an attendant and was getting ourselves settled in when a 'cleanly bleached Lagos big girl' walked in. Her presence was quite obvious as she was on the phone and wanted everyone present to hear her conversation by talking so carelessly and uncouthly! My friend and I made funny faces to ourselves about her and was about to continue our gist oh when this girl offloaded her clothes from her bag. It formed a mountaineous heap but i noticed people where looking intensely at the heap of clothes. I turned to look as well and lo and behold, I saw different colours of pants!!! Not pant trouser oh, pants as in undies!!!
They were hundreds of them, different designs and colours! This babe felt no shame oh, she told the laundromat attendant that she was doing a drop- off, so the attendant had to do the separation and washing by himself, a guy! She turned around and left with her slippers making uncivilised noise.
Everybody started talking. A man who was being attended to as well could not hold in his disgust. He ranted " wo omo yi, ko le fo pata re!" Then the stares went from the heap of clothes to the attendant. He was supposed to start the wash and touch the pants,eeeeewwww.
The guy quickly went into an inner room, probably the store for materials and brought out handgloves! Everybody bursted out laughing. He also came with a scarf tightly tied over his nose. I could see the disgust all over him, poor thing!
My friend's blazer was done in no time and we got it and left. I was left thinking for a better part of that day on why someone would be so lazy as to not wash her pant!
Could she be a spoilt brat, a lazy lad or she had too much money to pay for her pants to be washed... I thought that garment was supposed to be private and personal!
I had never seen such laziness that glaring like I saw that day.
And thinking about it now, I can't help but laugh at the sight of the attendant wearing gloves as well as feel pity for him as I noticed his disgust...
Have u ever witnessed a weird sight lazy brat situation or anything close
I have a friend, she doesn't wear panties cos she can't keep up with washing them all the time (judgement:lazy right?) so she buys new ones for important days. I think we all have ewwwwwsss abt us that we try hard to hide because my friend is also the best cook I know. Even your example isn't all that bad at least she found her way to a laundromat and paid for the service. Oftentimes I have found girls, even the most beautiful ones also have heinous habits that are difficult to explain. None is perfect abeg.
