Man narrates how he shouted at a teenager for seemingly disrespecting her mum at the mall.
I was getting something at a mall just now. This girl, in her late teens or early twenties, came to get a birthday cake with her mum. When the cake was packed, the mum asked if she would carry it and she told the mum to carry it. Immediately the mum carried the cake, I didn't know when I shouted "Ah ah! Carry something jọ̀ọ́" at her. Almost like a soldier taking order from a superior officer, she quickly collected the cake from her mum. All these happened within 3 to 5 seconds.
She had collected the cake before I started thinking to myself "What's wrong with you? You don't even know this girl or her mother from anywhere. What if they both turn on you and give you the dragging of your life?"
I guess some things are hard wired into us and it will take conscious effort not to act them out. I'll be very conscious and deliberate about minding my business next time.
