Atatata, I heard the Easter weekend was tops and heavy to the extent that some of you apparently had to pawn your jewelry and cellphones for chwala and gwaais. Then you apparently and unashamedly – I must add – went to the police station to report that you were kastig robbed in some riverbed.
Skandes have no limit, tjiri. I mean, some of you are weekend specials in the tjoekie for snatching others’ bags and goodies and now want the gatas to believe your story. You really make that resurrected prophetess of doom who caused panic with her earthquake tales look good.
I understand that makiti is on the top list of things to do for some of you during long weekends but if the moola is not there, don’t force matters. Just drink water or tea and call it a day. But I guess, we won’t get anywhere trying to advise some people who love to choppa the life that they should just take a chill pill.
Like this other tate whose tongue got so dry after zularing without much success for the sweet taste of a Navara a.ka. Kandjupa, also known as Castello Ginger Fizz. When the situation got desperate, he pawned the bed while the meme was out selling kapana. I could only imagine the shock on her face when she returned to find an empty room. But I heard that he later confessed whom he sold the bed to and luckily the buyer had only paid a deposit, which the meme refunded with the day’s sales.
Hopefully that was just a one time incident and the meme has given her sweety-lavo a good tongue lashing not to ever do something like that again, because before you know it, he would start selling the TV, sofa, microwave, fridge and even the baby’s cot.
I know many of us are guilty of buying pawned goods, but I must give some of you advice not to buy stuff in the kasie, especially when the pawn star knows you and know where you live, unless the seller is one of those “I am selling” ladies whom you pay religiously because you are so scared of them for obvious reasons.
Don’t buy something from someone who is speaking in other tongues, because the chances are that they might not remember selling the stuff to you once they are sober. It sounds funny, but I have seen top boys fight over those expensive takkies or sunglasses that they pawned for a bottle of Jameson or crate of 061s. After they realize in their sober state that they sold the goods for peanuts, they will come back to haunt you or embarrass you.
Another dude also pawned his expensive laptop for mahala to people he knows, only to realize months later at the couple’s home that the laptop playing the cool music was his. The dude ended being thrown out of the yard.
If you buy goods in the kasie, remember that they are lent to you and are not yours. The owner has the right to come claim them back any time once he gets the moola. Since you have not signed an agreement or have not seen a receipt, he can make a case against you for “taking” his goods without his permission.
It’s a tough world out there and sometimes you can’t blame others for wanting to cash in on stuff they no longer need or those who want to make a quick buck in desperate times. And since the next long weekend is coming up shortly, please save some money so that you don’t have to go through such ordeal. Or maybe the next time government must consider bringing the Easter weekend to the beginning or end of the month – just thinking. Sorry Ngo!
