Just know this, you are still far better than him forget his current financial status

Brahamimo:
You don't know what you're saying.
Do I even owe him,?
Is he my friend?

You never owed him . . .

He was never your friend . . .

YET

You come here to create a weeping and wailing thread to explain to us why your face is so wet?

Hehehe 🤭 delululu painment of an underachieving past scornful classmate is bae 😏

I don't understand

iamjack0812:
Keep deceiving him with eyes on the price?
Why is the op ashamed in the first place?
Coz that is where his problem started from.
So you will stop your work now and go hungry coz a friend you met mocked you with a pic you guys both snapped with.
Hmmm....u go suffer ehn

SeeWahala:
If I were him i will do the same only heaven knows how many times you and your other school mates made a mockery of him back then when he was struggling to copy and beg from you guys

for him to do you this dirty it means you must have been one of his chief mockers back in the day 😏

He who laughs last has to laugh best enjoy your epiphany

So to you, this is the ''last laugh''?
How shallow and myopic!

This being the last laugh is entirely up to the pained op and not you nor i

And as for who had THE FIRST LAUGH . . . hehehe 🤭 look no further than the op

After all, he said so himself 🤗

OBOY, I DONT SEE ANY ISSUES HERE. LIFE DEY. THIS IS PART OF LIFE. HOWEVER, NOTE THAT YOU ARE DOING A VERY DIGNIFIED JOB, DONT LOOK DOWN ON YOUR SELF.

How do I narrate this without feeling let down?

It's really painful and sad.

Last week, I bumped into an old school mates of mine. In fact, we weren't just sch mates but coursemates.
This is someone who wouldn't attend lectures or read. He used to copy from me during exams . He was more of a nuisance to almost every of his coursemate. It wouldn't be act of exaggeration to say he was the dullest amongst us. You know these types of coursemates that are never serious, they just go about talking and disturbing everyone. The guy no get shame at all. He will beg you for money, food and everything.
During exams, he would go into the hall with chokes. He was a photocopier. You must open your scripts for him to copy, else he will keep disturbing you.
So, yesterday, we had into each other. He's married now and doing very well for himself. He is the most successful of all of us.
I'm a hussler. I do all sorts of menial jobs. So last week, he drove into a car wash stand where I work. I saw him and I was surprised. All the while, we were only seeing on Facebook. When I spotted him, he didn't know I was the one until I went to him. We hugged and exchanged pleasantries, I saw the disappointment in his face. Why would I be washing cars after sch?
Did you know that this same guy asked that we took a picture together?. We posed for the camera and one of my colleagues snapped us..
He left. And this guy began sending my pictures to other former coursemates of ours. The next week was my birthday, and this guy posted same picture on our WhatsApp platform. I was mocked. They now call me a car washer.


This has affected my self esteem and confidence. The admin of our WhatsApp platform had to delete the photo . Most of my mates called me directly to pacify and encourage me cos I was among the best students during our time.

I'm really disappointed. This guy didn't call me on my birthday, but had the guts to post a picture of me while wearing rags and washing cars at my workplace.

I am really traumatised at this moment. I'm pained. Nothing has ever hurt me like this, not even the death of my dad ever hurt me this way.

Your friend's actions were low-key toxic, but you can't let it define you. You've got to rise above and focus on your own goals. Ignoring the trauma doesn't mean it's not affecting you. It means you're choosing not to let it hold you back. Let this occurrence be a catalyst to your growth.


Also, remenber that success isn't about revenge; it's about proving to yourself that you're capable of greatness.

@Brahamimo Sir, why are you bothered about what others think of your hustle? They don't feed you, you feed yourself. I was a wheel barrow pusher, I worked in a local bakery, I did a lot of menial jobs that a lot of people would consider beneath them. I did them with joy.

I even joined hands with my mother to sell akpu, I still pound akpu, I even did it today. Bro, we only have one life to live; don't waste your life worried about what others think.

When I was working in the bakery and struggling to make 20k a month, I heard some people were mocking me but I just laughed and threw the middle finger.

Do not waste your life away, man.

It is what it is. Accepting the situation that you’re in the gallows momentarily is the first step, then setting the course for actual improvement.

Memberclub:
Can’t be washing cars bro. Find something else, Goodluck

Will you pay him for something else

OP what course did you read in school? Because you seem to be ashamed of this car wash job and I can't understand why. I don't think you are using your education well. Your mind has been programmed that's why you think it's menial.

Be proud of your work. Do not think he is better than you! life always give you second chance, make sure the next time he sees you, he will be the one to regret. Stay safe

Where do you stay and what did you study?

That your curse mate na wicked someone.. Don't snap photography with him next time
..


You have learnt in a very hard way.. why will you go taking photos with your work clothes? I blame you..

The guy didn’t even recognise you; you called him, refreshed his memory, and then took a picture with him while dressed like a homeless beggar😭

This tickled me 😂😂😂

IamRichards:

My brother, if I tell you that graduates are doing worse than car washing you won't believe. I have seen a graduate carry blocks to up to a 2 storey building in a site.
Even I myself I tell you what I did just for money to be in my hand after I graduated, you won't believe. Nigeria today is very difficult.

Where do you wash cars?
...and what can pacify you now?

You are very mean and unbalanced dude. Even if he was mocked, was he mocked for wealth? Is his source of wealth legit? Is coursemate relationship some sort of wager for equal success or a fair way to establish equality? What about other factors like background and assistance that may help some stand out immediately after school.

SeeWahala:
It's not a case of 'how many times you helped' . . .

It's a question of 'how many times you genuinely helped him WITHOUT SCORN, TAUNTS or DISGUST

You yourself knows the truth. We who went through secondary school know all these things 😏

stop justifying bollocks. He helped !, irrespective of how you believe he may have done it. don't forget they were young and less matured then as well. A sensible will not mock a classmate, talk less doing it openly, it takes a level of stewpidd to get to that level

@OP, redirect your anger and pain to a strong quest for LEGITIMATE success. There is dignity in labour ! Hold your head high.

Anybody who does not pay your bills have no right to mock you.

Will the said person pay your bills?

Embrace your hustle. Dirty hands brings oily mouth
