                                                              I am that girl!


People are strange, more so, strangers are strange lol! They have weird habits that they cannot leave at home and those habits get frustrating when you are in a taxi with strangers and you have to tolerate each other none the less.

Some people complain about the “smells” as if they don’t contribute to it. Some don’t like people talking loud on their phones, some don’t like the small talk that someone desperately tries to make them a part of and some don’t like the driver or the music he plays period.

Well some people don’t like it when they are sitting next to someone who is…drum roll please, chewing gum! Hai some people are talented, they chew gum like it’s a World War 2 weapon that can suddenly be blown into a bubble. You sit there through every pop and you suffer in silence, wishing that it slips off their tongue and they swallow it by mistake. I am that girl who chews a bubble gum (chappies) like it’s the last one earth, I cause havoc, I don’t know why but I enjoy my bubble gum more when am in a taxi as I sit there hoping that I get home safely. I chew like a cow on steroids.


Sometimes I try to be as silent as possible but it gets out of hand so quickly that I forget that there people sitting next to me. I don’t know maybe it’s a coping mechanism phela sometimes being in a taxi can be traumatic, one can’t help but find alternative ways to keep calm. So if you happen to sit next to me in the taxi askies in advance, I can borrow you my earphones though???
