Hmmmmm.....
LONGER THROAT IN THE OFFICE
Hello Ms. Stella.
There is this colleague of mine that has long throat.
He is that type that will eat whatever you give to him hurriedly and be asking for another just because he saw that there is still plenty from where you took it from to give to him. He is so persistent that you will have no choice but to give to him just to make him disappear from your view (he can stand for like an hour or more begging you for something).
The most annoying thing is when we have things to do, and we all contribute money; he would not contribute a dime and still, will want to take the largest shares.
He is that type of person that will see you eating and will carry your food unexpectedly and almost finish the food but will definitely finish the meat, fish, egg, chicken plantain and so on in the food. He has done this so many times and it is so annoying.
I will divide snacks into 2 to give him and he will be dragging the biggest one with me when he is not the one who owns it.
He comes to my desk and asks me for something to eat and when I tell him I don’t have, he will open my locker drawers and show me my snacks and ask why I said I do not have.
I stopped giving him money when I found out that his salary is more than mine, yet he would always ask me to give him money for transport fares.
He does not bring food to work but can walk up to like 20mins to go eat at mama put. Sometimes you tell him to give you what he is eating, and he would put everything in his mouth or say it was one ant or cockroach that saw him and gave it to him.
I have insulted him so many times, but I think he has no shame and would always come back because he knows he would surely see something at my end to eat.
I don’t know how to be stingy with food, but this particular person has turned to it something else and it is annoying. He would be laughing and telling stories that don’t match just because he wants to collect something from you.
I am thinking of telling it to his face the sh*ts he’s doing. Maybe he does not know that his actions are very disgusting because he's acting like he's smart.
What do you think ?
If you know upset this Chronicle made me eh...WHAT NONSENSE is this????????
Please dont bother to tell him anything to his face, shame has left him and is catching me on his behalf...
Please just STOP TALKING TO HIM!!!
If you stop talking to him, stop leaving your food in the locker he might just poison you for not giving him... Rubbish thiff!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is he married? If he isn't, so one woman will be happy tomorrow to husband this one? Yuck!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very irritating trait. Tell him to his face to stop coming to ask you for anything. Them nor dey use shame chop winch o. Yuck again!!
You are thinking of telling him??? I wonder what you are waiting for, something you should have done tey tey. Tell him, and when he returns with his shameless attitude, repeat it.
ReplyDeleteI can't deal mbok
ReplyDeleteNo sharing today, My Food/snacks are off-limit from now on.
DeleteAbeg just follow the red pen. So annoying...
ReplyDeleteDon't be surprise if you hear see my new house, people like him will want to spend your own, but he has future plan for his money.
ReplyDeleteShe chats me up and asks me to accompany her to visit her mummy. I agreed.
ReplyDeleteHer mum is in Bwari, I live in Gwarinpa, Galadima is my bus stop, while she lives at Nyanya. She asked if I would drive, I said no .
She saye she's on her way that I should meet her at Dutse junction, this is one bus stop after mine.
It didn't make sense, I pointed it out to her but didn't make a big deal out of it cause what doesn't make sense to me may make sense to her.
We get to her mum's. She was preparing soup.
Food is ready,she asks if I Will eat fufu, I said I don't eat fufu, she said she knew I wouldn't eat and I repeated myself. She carries a plate of fufu and soup,sit directly opposite me and downloads it.
I could only be thankful that I took garden eggs and Gnut as well as a bottle of water with me.
After eating, I bring out my snacks and help myself and that's when she eventually offers me a drink.
I wasn't angry just a little bit unsettled about everything, it's my first time going to her mum's place.
Is it necessary to address this?
Nothing to address. Will you force yourself to eat what you don't cos you want to please someone? Don't bother yourself.
DeleteDon't over think it . For her to take you to her mum means she values you. I personally think asking you to wait at duste means she wants both of you to join a vehicle there instead of her stopping at Galadima, both of you will join another vehicle and stop at duste before proceeding to Bwari. It's a little easier for both of you to meet at duste junction then enter same vehicle to Bwari.
DeleteSecondly. You know mum's food is alwsys sweeter. She might be carried away. If you really love her. Next time speak up while the issue is hot. Eg. Babes I am your visitor. Abeg find me cola first before eating. You will laugh over it.
He needs to be publicly disgraced not embarrassed o. The type that will humiliate him so much he will never try it with anyone again not just you. I ha8 nonsense.
ReplyDeleteIt's because of how you shine teeth with him..
ReplyDeletePeople observe their colleagues,then choose the weakest ones to match on.
They take note of their mood,attitude,whether they frown their face daily or always in the mood for chit-chats and all before they dish out jokes like this towards them.
Na why some days you just frown face for no reason and enter office.don't allow yourself, especially your reactions to be too predictable,smile when they expect you not to,and vice versa.
The hand you give we humans;is exactly what everyone will use to follow you up;and always remember that people like him always avoid other colleagues who they tag as "mysterious" or "pepper body" because they won't know what they would do that would either make you angry or happy,or your reaction...so they be like "abeg leave this one oooo,I no want wahala".
There is nothing more you can do at this point,aside exploding and state your mind to him;so everybody can respect/mind their various business moving forward..
#Cheers

Gbam!!! Osino I don't like being stingy with my food 🤣🤣🤣 Abeg there are somethings you don't get exasperate for....Abi Poster maybe you just entered the corporate world...
DeleteExactly, your boundary with him is weak
DeletePls tell him your mind. What a shame.
ReplyDeleteIt's well...
Poster try and do fasting for some days. While on it, beg him to buy orange for you. From there, decide
DeleteWhat tribe is this particular idiot of colleague of yours? Cos I know of some one that has almost all the nasty traits you mentioned up there. Very stingy and selfish to himself, but he is always receiving from others.
ReplyDeleteStingy people are the the most entitled people on earth. They would not give you but will feel it's their right to collect from you as per mumu.
ReplyDeleteDon't bother talking to him. His upbringing did the damage and he has outgrown correction.
Always lock your drawer, avoid him when eating and if possible give him once in a while.
Na omoale na why.
ReplyDeleteDear Poster,
ReplyDeleteThis is classic textbook example of a stingy person plus he is a chronic poverty approach of the mind...His kind will be very easy to poison and no fear in his bones......But abeg oh! Na office colleague you dey describe with so much passion and pain 🤣🤣🤣.....Not like you both are dating or what?
Create boundaries with him, must you share your food? You stonewall him...Why would you open drawer and take my snack? Which one is I don't like being stingy with my food.....You better be smart, na corporate jungle you dey.....No allow this one vex you...Mirror his behaviour; you all also enabled him and that is why he thinks he is a smart Alec when he is really clever by half.....
All the best ojare.....
Lol, One church I attended then, during my preggy period last year, There was one brother in the choir , that usually comes to pregnant and nursing mothers space to beg us for food, Infact, This man ate my food, that I left on a chair to go ease myself,i was shocked and angry that day ehh. I don't even know you. So how?
ReplyDeletePoster, pls address this issue with your colleague.It's important for him to understand that you are not happy with it anymore.
Honestly I can't take this kind of bull crap, I would've fought with him for a very long time and totally cut him off no matter how smart he thinks he is, I can't deal with people that are covetous in nature.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds of someone that's my area brother, this man was very generous to the core, and the only thing he didn't gift was the only thing he didn't have.
This brother came to me one day and was nearly in tears complaining about his best friend, that they always went out together whenever he was in our hometown, and he would buy all sorts of things for him and always paid for everything they bought, he was the one that bought DVD player for him that time DVD was still reigning and he always sent money to him every weekend, until someone called him one day that his best friend was doing housewarming, he even sent money to the best friend two days earlier to the housewarming day, since that day, he stopped being unnecessarily generous and cut off from his so called best friend.
People are users, he's busy collecting from you, while he's saving his own, tell him off and cut him off totally.
I couldn't finish reading this chronicle because it's extremely annoying. Why are you entertaining him???
ReplyDeleteIs this a married man? I mean is this an adult? Acting this way? Jehovah
ReplyDeleteTell him no is a complete sentence. Stand your ground. When he is talking start shouting thief, thief. You need to be shameless with such people.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThis your colleague honestly needs deliverance from spirit of hunger and long throat! Even devil go fear the way he dey rush food. Some people no dey shame again o dem go beg tire before you breathe!
This is my problem with shameless people, extremely disgustingly stupid.
ReplyDeleteLike I will always say, try have shame in this life, so you can be respecting yourself.
Oh yes I am so upset!!
Does he also act like this towards others? You should address him
ReplyDeleteHe had poor upbringing and nobody corrected these bad traits and he became an adult with them. A glutton with no conscience who is cheap and expects everything to be handed to him on a silver platter.
ReplyDeleteSet boundaries, let him know only those who contribute to things can reap the benefits. Stop letting him manipulate you. These kind of ppl are always jovial and smiley and come off as though they are good, but hide their true self from most, however you choose to go about it just make sure you don’t end up looking like the bad guy.
I have a neighbor we became friends,she like that,God!one day I left my tea for her, she entered my room,I was taking tea and bread,the next thing I saw bread inside my tea,but this time I'm giving her back to back.

ReplyDeleteLearn to say no.He is purposely to doing it
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who used to do this. One day, his girlfriend put a pill in his tea because he was constipated. She want to make him do the number 2, but he felt it was poison. From that Day, he stopped collecting food from his girl. Put a funny tasting substance into what he's coming to beg you for. After tasting it, he'll never come close
