This idea waltzed into my head about 5 minutes ago. As usual, I was going to shut it out but naaahhh, I won’t. Consider this an opportunity to know me better.
Here are five (5) things that you’ll never catch me doing:
- You will never catch me in a physical brawl. This one is coming first because I’ll never understand how people do it. I mean, you’d let yourself be punched, kicked and slapped just because you want to make a point? It can never be me. You can catch me in a heated argument or altercation but a physical fight? NEVER! The last time I did was in my junior secondary school and that girl beat me silly.
- You will never catch me in a celebrity’s comment section saying nasty things. This one is very important to me. I know that these people are human and because they share their gift or talent with the world doesn’t give us the right to troll or always be in their business. I admire few celebrities but I do not troll anyone. It will never make sense to me. If you do it, stop it. What you wouldn’t want someone to say to you, don’t say it to anyone.
- You will never catch me jumping a queue. This is one of the many things I think that we need to correct as a society. I consider it uncool to jump queues and cheat people that got to a place before me for no tangible reason. Injustice is not only from the Government to the people. As a people, we can perpetuate injustice amongst ourselves. I try as much as possible not to be found in that circle.
- You will never catch me cheating in the examination hall. I mean this one even in the littlest form. I do not ask or tell in the examination hall (I know I am that classmate that you didn’t like but I’m not sorry). In my four years in the university, I never spoke in the hall during tests and exams. We can share thoughts beforehand but let’s not talk in the hall. I know that things that we don’t prepare for happen in the examination hall, but I’ll rather bear consequences other than cheat in the hall. Yes, talking is cheating. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t stop talking when the invigilator walks towards you.
- You will never catch me shorten my name. I love my names so much and I take pride in spelling them out in their full form. So, you will not hear me say, “Damilola”, I’ll say “Oluwadamilola”. This one is funny because every now and then, people remind me that my name is too long. I hear things like, “make it simple”. My name is my name. That’s why I give you the option of calling me “Dazzle” (which I prefer to be called). If you are going to address me by my first name, do it right. For peace sake, I respond to people when they do but I’d rather they don’t.
Yaaayyy!! So, those are five things that you will never catch me doing.
Oh! Wait. Let me add one more. I don’t want to be absolute about this one that’s why it didn’t make the list. You may never catch me out of my house without my hand beads except in peculiar situations. I think I may be a little addicted.
That’s all.
