I WANNA talk to y’all on a level that yuh know, relatable cause sometimes life does lef me speechless.
Wunnuh ever encounter a person or a situation that so stupid it mek yuh squint? I mean like it so nonsensical that you can’t believe another human being is who causing it to happen?
Tek fuh instance when yuh driving and yuh butt up on the traffic lights. Now usually when one is waiting at the traffic lights it may seem as though other sections get more time than you do, but that is usually our impatience speaking.
What does really make me squint is when the traffic lights stop working and a police officer is directing traffic. Now you would figure that he or she would be able to evenly and quickly direct the traffic, right? Wrong! To me it does be even worse and that in itself does mek me squint. Don’t get me wrong
On the note of traffic and by extension cars and their drivers. I am not an expert or anything but it does hurt my soul-case when I see a big open parking space and somebody driving a vehicle as small as a Starlet but still can’t get in the space. I mean de person taking 82 turns to get in one spot and when dem done and get out, it is a vicious diagonal park in a straight parking space. If you doubt me ask me. I swear some people need t-square rulers to park.
But this next one here is one that radiates with in my soul and does urk my gall bladder. You imagine that an architect get and design a bank and said to himself, with input from bank owner, “let me put 62 teller booths.” They probably did that thinking that it would get the customers in and out quickly.
Just one teller
However, when the actual bank open, for whatever reason, out of de 62 booths only one occupied with a teller! Explanation to me how that makes sense. That time people in the bank so long I see people pack picnic baskets.
A woman look at me and tell me, “When yuh coming in hey don’t plan nothing afterwards.” Ting I was there so long that it felt like a day’s work so I decided to send in my invoice and all now I still waiting to get pay.
When things like this happen all I could do is squint, and my eyes small already as dem is, so I beg wunnuh ease up on the nonsensical things so I don’t squint and walk into a wall.
I am Toni-Ann “Acka” Johnson. Love, peace and Mazola Corn Oil.
