The Hater: I hate people who…

…start conversations in public taxis and insist we partake in them. Listen my neighbour, today is not a good day, and so I just need to get home and rest. If you really want my opinion on the Obama victory or the falling oil prices, show me your valid press card. You probably need to move with an audience next time.

…start conversations in public taxis and insist we partake in them. Listen my neighbour, today is not a good day, and so I just need to get home and rest. If you really want my opinion on the Obama victory or the falling oil prices, show me your valid press card. You probably need to move with an audience next time.

…while in a restaurant, keep throwing food on the table. Ok may be I don’t know your mother, but mine always said that food should be left on the plate if it’s not to be eaten. Throwing it on the table does not make it any tastier and besides you are giving the often lowly paid workers more work. And yet am so sure you never leave a tip for these folks.  

…work at MTN and are responsible for the numerous dropped calls I get daily. Now that Rwandatel has launched its GSM service and ‘Tigo’ is preparing to roll out too, I think you need to clean up your act. I will hate you more for losing subscribers simply because of that think called the ‘network problem’. If your catch line is ‘everywhere you go’, do the network problems also have to follow me everywhere I go? 

…spend time on the internet especially on face book and forget about work. You and I know for sure that face book or yahoo messenger cannot pay your bills. Why not try the time tested adage of doing the right at the right time? You can spend a few minutes checking on your friends but once it becomes an addiction then your early retirement many come sooner rather than later.

…go to shops and start asking so many questions without actually buying a thing. Sitting in a shop waiting hours on end for customers is tiring enough.

Attending to customers who are more interested in asking endless questions is rather so nagging to say the least. It pays to be specific, either you want to buy a shirt, or you are carrying out research. You are talking to a shop keeper not a paid public relations officer. Yes it is my duty to hate and I am not about to stop. Change now before my hatred worsens.
