Brethren, this cool afternoon I say make I go grocery shopping, so I picked myself up, and walked to the shopping mall which is not far from where I live. The first thing I did was to enter a shop to buy suit, because I remember say the suit wey I get for house don shrink (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!), and this other suit was just calling my name, 'sisi come, see me, see me'...Clothes talk to me! So I spent about an hour trying on a few and bought the one wey hala my name pass.
After the purchase I proceeded to Tesco, I picked some onions, no, this one is too expensive so I dropped it and looked for cheaper ones. I made sure everything I bought today was either half price or on sale...you won't blame me, I don use money wey I suppose use chop take buy cloth, so anytime i'm hungry I will just open my wardrobe, look at the cloth, swallow spit and bellefull.
After buying food stuff oh, I decided I didn't need a particular shirt so I went back to the shop to return it; thank you Jesus for exchange and refunds in this obodo oyibo. I cannot try this nonsense in Naija. The last time I enter one boutique for warri na so one babe dey follow me round the store like mopol....I felt so uncomfortable and left, as I was leaving this girl use her eyes carry me up and down then fling me comot....since that day I decided no more window shopping in Warri boutiques.
I return the dress finish, oya make I dey go house. It was then I remembered I had to withdraw some money from the cash machine, naim I put card inside, enter my pin. Check balance? Nooooo! that's too much torment, I don't want to see the balance.Withdraw cash? Yes!!! and I pressed the button. BLANK. That is the last I remember. Brethren, when I got to my house I checked my pocket and I did not find the money I withdrew, apparently ya babygirl withdrew money, collected atm card but forgot to collect the cash! Who came up with this ATM system in the first place? that card ejects before your cash follows. It is a very stupid strategy. Tell them I said so.
It pained me to lose that money because I know someone else must have taken it out, and someone somewhere is rejoicing for the osho free money they got today *rolls eyes*. I remember my bobo and I have picked osho free money in the park one day after debating whether we go turn to goat or not. It is obodo oyinbo, we did not turn to goats. LOL. I will just console myself with the thought that the person wey collect my own is probably broke and needs it more than I do. Still, it hurts right here *points to heart* sobs. I shall recite the Serenity Prayer throughout today...
Have you lost money before? How did you feel?
Have you found money before? How did you feel? LOL

I totally know this feeling sisi. I withdrew money one day in my broke season to do groceries, bought one thing(barely 20% of d entire money), collected change nd left. When it was time to pay for sumthing else, the money was nowhere to be found. Kai, I roamed that area lyk a mad person retracing my steps bt someone in need picked it alredi. O dun mi sha

ReplyDeletekai, sorry oooo. It is so so painful. Whenever I lose money, I just want to cry. But I console myself with 'it is just money, more will come'
ReplyDeleteSome people see free money and even give testimony that its from God, forgetting that the real owner might be crying.

ReplyDeletesorry about that,its just natures way of helping someone :) sucks i know but you been on the receiving end once..*this might be late but i like the new Blog look*
ReplyDeleteSorry about that! My rule is that it is okay to take your time at the ATM, don't let anyone's heavy breathing or sighing make you rush your transaction. You got there first, after all. There's also the possibility that the money found its way to someone who really needed it.
ReplyDeleteI once lost $600 (it was actually stolen). I opened my bag to pay and my wallet was missing! I got carried away because I was trying clothes on and left my purse (briefly!) on one of the racks. The attendants were saying that another shopper probably stole it but my mom wasn't convinced, she openly accused them. I got back home and locked hands in prayer with my 5 year old cousin, strongly believing that heaven would hear her lol
The next day I went to query the manager and I got it back! Apparently one of the attendants dipped her hand in my purse and took my wallet to the back, leaving it in her locker. The manager replayed the video for us (surprisingly) and gave me my wallet with the money intact. I was so grateful!! God heard our prayers :)
i hate that atm system too.i had in two circumstances almost dashed my money to someone but as camera full this my school nobody wants to be called a theif they called me back to come and collect my money,lol lucky me.so now i no dey forget cos i like money.*who doesn't*
ReplyDeleteyes i have lost money before and e pain me well well just as e pain the person way loose money way i pick,lol.
Chai! The story dey pain me as i dey read am sef. Soz. I've never forgotten money at the ATM but i have misplaced a few. I pray like you that someone who needs it more than me gets it with my blessing - yeah I am generous like that.
ReplyDeleteSome of the stories are plain hilarious!! e.g. Abby and Chinese dinner - See Eve, Adam and apple!! lol
There was a time I was so broke I was looking forward to spending the last 6k on my for two weeks if possible* covers eyes*. I dint over-do myself as I spent the first N500 buying breakfast and airtime, and evn had to tuck my change deep into my bag. You can imagine my shock as I sweated profusely after turning my bag over during my search for the missing N5,500! It was so painful I kept ran back to the canteen just to replay my steps and ended up parambulating. I cried silent tears as it was still 2weeks to payday.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, my cousin found an envelope at the bustop containing N30k. After so much deliberation she gave the money to charity. On getting home she recounted the story to me and all I could say in fury was "charity na person?!"
that kain thing dey pain. i took danfo one day very early in da morning, gave the conductor 1k thinking it was fifty naira. I wan mad when I reach house.
