I download more than a hundred
songs at an internet cafe, select all the songs, click cut, and before i
say Jack Robinson, the system's screen goes off. For a moment, I pray
inwardly that the worst hasn't happened, but then the cafe attendant
confirms my fears. 'Pele,' the cafe attendant pleas. 'Things like that
happen once in a while sir. Please, bear with us', he says calmly,
yanking unwittingly at my carefully concealed temper. I start to laugh,
the opposite of what I would probably have done involuntarily and
without a hassle.
And I get up slowly, muttering to myself 'just one of those things', and briskly exit the cafe. What else under heaven would have sufficed well enough for me to do at that instant? 400 naira and priceless time already down the drain........
As if that was not enough, as soon as I finished typing my little ordeal above into my phone, it went off for no just reason. Now, isn't that weird?
