The Fastest Way To Discover You Have Become Someone's Emergency Contact by Kalatium(op): 6:40am On Jun 03
Choi, this life will humble you.

On Saturday , I saw a random lady who needed help with food. Feeling generous, I sent her ₦3,000. She thanked me and then politely asked for my WhatsApp number.

I thought, "Aww, maybe she just wants to appreciate me properly." I gave her my number.

She sent:

"Hi."

I replied:

"Hello."

Silence eas what later followed.

No conversation.No friendship vibes.No getting to know each other. No "How was your day?" Nothing.

Yesterday being Tuesday, she suddenly reappeared from the land of the living.

I thought maybe she wanted to continue the conversation.

My sister came straight to the point:

"Please help me with ₦6,000 to fill my gas." lipsrsealed undecided

At that moment, I realized that I was not a friend. I was not a brother. I was not a potential acquaintance. I was simply a government intervention programme.

Apparently, the first ₦3,000 qualified me for automatic enrollment into the next phase of assistance.

This life you different lessons. Sometimes, the moment you help someone once, they don't see it as kindness. They see it as capacity to bill you continuously.

Perhaps you didn't know she asked alot of people already before she thought about asking you again.

You can just turn her down if you can't at that moment. It's actually very hard to ask people for things, than you can think of.

The way you ask for things matter...


That's the subject of discussion of the op. It's not about any other thing you talked of!

BItt:
She started her request with "please"
But I know you are unable to comprehend sentences
Manner of approach is not just about saying please...


If you are eating and someone just washes his hands, says please and deep his hands into your food to eat would it be okay because he said please?


Just an example!
Re: The Fastest Way To Discover You Have Become Someone's Emergency Contact by brain54(m): 8:00am On Jun 03
If you can comprehend sentences you would have seen and understood where the op is going with the story...

Swears bro, ladies have it easy, majority tho, imagine a fine lady with over 20 toasters, if she sabi play her game tight, she can be collecting at least 40k from them all every week. But chatting would be very tedious. Hmm I really pity ladies, in my next life I will still be a man. If chatting too much can cause a headache for me hw much more a girl who has to entertain at least 20 men trying to spoil her life.

Finding peace of mind mean you need to root out the opportunists and manipulators around you

The most annoying part, the people you have been helping regularly before, the moment you stop helping, then you automatically turn to an enemy. Some might even be wishing you evil self

I called the little girl crying about the fuel yesterday skit because a mature elderly person seeing a little girl crying won't have time to be filming . Opportunists everywhere

People lately now take advantage of others predicaments for money, so as how some social media wouldn't mind to post ridiculous post all in the name of traffic.

Someone you didn't know from Adam helped you willingly, why not even allow the person to breath before coming up with another story. For her mind, she has seen a mugu

Nigerians and disgusting entitlement complex. undecided

Spent 2 months in Germany and suddenly realized I was feeling strange because

There was no " Bros find me something", or expectations of tips. You get your full change with coins.

USA too has a tip-tip culture.

I wouldn't be pressured into giving you a tip.

A lady who was trying to turn me into an ATM because I bought her an Apple charger thinking it was an emergency...

I just changed it to - if you need more, then come to my house for it. She said her parents didn't teach her to visit men. But they forgot the moral lessons on almajiribegging abi ? grin

She wants you to invite her over and do the needful.

She is a commercial merchant, make no mistake.

But at least, you show more gratitude.
You don't just emerge with a request. Courtesy first and it's not as if she was trying to borrow but to get a cash gift.
It's isn't easy for anybody.
