THE HATER : I hate people who…

…waste time playing board games. I don’t really have a problem with all board games, but then I have spotted some idlers in our city with a sickening habit of playing the board game commonly known as ludo, for hours on end. Yes, The Hater has got a keen eye that caught these guys in the act. They tend to sit on benches around a huge wooden board. They noisily play the game for hours, shout at every given opportunity. Some of you know of these idlers as a common sight in downtown Kampala but unfortunately they have also invaded our Kigali and therefore it is not surprising to find that their base here is at Gatsata! What happened to the law of being idle and disorderly? …work as receptionists but all too ignorant. I cannot stop wondering how these people get the jobs they hold. It even makes my work more complicated for I am not sure whether I should hate them or their unserious employers. For now I will settle for the ladies and gentlemen who are charged with receiving people at different offices. Some of these guys exhort the highest degree of ignorance yet we are expected to get information from them. What on earth are you doing there when you cannot tell me whether the boss is around or not? And what is this crap of not knowing his telephone contact? Oh, please, sack such jokers. Maybe I will stop hating and apply for their jobs. …still think it is cool to use toilet tissue when decorating. We are all aware of the current global financial crisis but this is really not reason enough for one to use such materials to decorate a place set to hold a merry making function. How am I supposed to enjoy myself and the eats before me while looking at toilet materials? If you cannot afford to buy decorating materials from the various supermarkets and shops then I suggest you stick to flowers and other materials provided by nature. I have vowed not to attend any other function where toilet tissue has been used to decorate. …take eats to a restaurant so as to spend on drinks only. I know there are a million ways to save but I extremely hate people who enter restaurants and order for drinks and then get eats from their bags! Don’t laugh yet, this is no joke because I have seen such crazy people with my own eyes. There is one I saw last week entering a restaurant in Remera. After finding a comfortable seat he called the waitress and asked for a cup of milk tea. He then reached for his bag and got out a rather tired donut! I immediately left the restaurant in disgust heading for my computer to write down what I had seen. Did he think the restaurant stocks eats for decoration? …still do not read this column each Sunday. It is now a full year since I started this noble duty of hating all those people in our society who indulge in any sort of disgusting behaviour. Don’t you know that this is the most interesting bit of this newspaper and it is read by all sensible people in Rwanda and the rest of the world? For a full year now, I have consistently hated all ill-mannered people so much that I no longer know how to love! I used to love my readers so much but my boss reminded me that my job was to hate not love. I therefore promise all my readers that I will continue hating!
