The day i worked all day starting from 6am, missed my lunch break and was so tired by 3pm but still had a mountain of stuffs to conclude. Was pressed by nature calls so i decided to use the toilet before i pick up a quick sandwich and coffee from the food vending machine. Just walking out of the toilet, I noticed people particularly ladies took interest in something as a walked by but i was too preoccupied that i didnt notice what it was. Some blushed and looked away, others smirked with disgust, some others looked on happily. It was when i crossed my direct boss who was accompanied by some externals that he coughed and i looked on and he coughed even louder. I asked her then what the problem was and she said to me"button ur fly" I was so embarrassed that i felt like fainting.

That was during my nysc at Police Girls Grammer School, Shanono, kano. I was sitting at the reception office, the commandant(principal) of the school came in from her office passing. I greated her politely while sitting down, she screamed and insulted the hell out of me that I'm disrespectful, that I could greet her. She calculated when she served, every several staff rushed in to see if some one slapped madam and she was reacting. I was OMG, what have I done. See this yoruba woman she want make i prostrate greet her?

cigar icon: Hmmm I don laf sotey I choke


Mine was on a fateful mornin, I had taken tea and five cooked eggs for breakfast that morning cos I was just lazy to make my usual pancakes.

I love trekking so on my way bouncing as usual as a young entrepreneur that I was, I was just releasing farts. On getting to my boutique I got every thing set for the day's business. So I went inside and switched on my TV and released a killer fart that I almost choked so I increased the standing fan's velocity. Hardly had the previous fart settled down that I released another killer fart with hope that the fan would take care of every thing but unfortunately PHCN performed their miracle.
I was about to go start my tiger generator when dis chick just walked up my shop and opened the glass door. Damn I was lyk WTH, she came in and asked if I got leather jacket and before she finished asking her face changed, mehn I wan die dat day. I brought 3 diferent leather jacket, she ddnt even touch it to feel the quality she just said "that's not the type am looking for" and dashed out mehn I felt so embarassed, I just said to myself "sam see as u don use mess pursue customer". Kai I ddnt enjoy business that day.

lol. E don teh weh u don dey do am, God con catch u dat day.

symbianDON: grin grin grin grin on another occasion i had sat on a seat on the staff bus for full 5mins before i realized the seat was wet. Unknown to me, a very fo.o.lish drunkard on the bus had wet it with urine and quietly relocated to another seat!! My pair of trousers were soaked and you how wet.ness shows very easily on brown chinos. Thank people on the bus quickly grasped what had happened. Yet i was so thoroughly embarrassed as i had to take a cab back home to change. Just imagine that.

evil drunk LOLZ

Durimg my housemanship, i was assisting a surgeon on heniorraphy which happens to be my first time, so i was feeling on top of the damn world. The surgery was moving on smoothly until we reached the location of the hernia and the surgeon asked me a question concerning a particular nerve she was pointing at,i feigned ignorance of which particular one and told her sorry doctor i don't remember and it so happened that one of the theatre nurses handling the instrument was there watching.
Immediately i said that i do not remember she glanced at the nerve and said " illioinguinal" and i remembered. The surgeon was saying "i asked you to assist because i thought you're a doctor, so are you a doctor?" there are many students both medical and nursing students inside the theatre that i begged to faint but nature wouldn't obliged me. So damn humiliating.
I used to think that we are the centre that nobody know what we knew but since that day, i mellowed down and learnt more, so fulfilling.

sucess001: Hmmm....you just made me remember this awful day...


I had been called in for a meeting with our foreign clients.

By the way, i am a lawyer and had been working for a Behind and quiet lawfirm in Banana Island. we were having the meeting with three foreigners and my head of chamber. Needless to say the meeting room was really quiet and serene.

Being the special lawyer in the firm with perfect communication skills and intelligence, my boss allowed me do most of the talking. Everything went well till we finished the meeting and i was about to stand up. Still dunno wat happened till today. Apparently, my movement had pushed the media player button on my phone. The consequence was that the quietness of the meeting room was pierced with the shrill and extremely loud moans of my favourite American p.ornstar...cherokee.

To make it worse...my attempts to switch of the blo.oody blackberry was slowed by the fone choosing that particular moment to hang. the noise by this time had attracted the receptionist since the door was now partially open. Took me another 25 seconds to put off the phone. Everyone was quiet. the oyinbos just quietly left. i dont need to describe how i felt.


My former boss later quietly killed the matter buh warned me a repeat will easily cost me my job. Guess dt episode quickened my change of jobs. Since then ehn! I dare not take a fone with p.orn to work!




Hahahahaaahahahahaha..lmao

Working alone in the office one faithful Saturday morning,
I decided okay since I dint take my pills the previous night let me take it and relax a little..
So I took the pills and blanked out on my laptop,snoring and sleeping.........after like 40 min of incredible sleep
the Group CEO of the company walks in and tapped me...Mr MAN IS THIS THE WORK YOU ARE DOING.....
OH HEAVENLY FATHER...So out of all Saturdays this Man decides to come to the office today
I felt like the ground should just open and swallow me........Will never forget this in my whole life
