Earlier yesterday afternoon I took a brisk walk in my neighbourhood. The previous day’s walk was painless enough to convince me that I can do this often, on my own. Ha! Anyway I’m minding my own business and every now and then when I walk past someone the greetings are kept monosyllable brief. I’m not trying to give shout out to those walking across the street from me. Past experience has taught me not to.
15+ minutes into my walk this young man calls at me from across the road, as I’m about to turn the corner I decide to ignore him. As a result the interaction went something like this.
Man: Sisi.
Man: Sisi! Sisi!!
Me: (Briefly glanced at man before turning the corner)
Me: Voetsek!! Thla!! B***h you think you special?! Thla!!!
What’s messed up is I’m convinced the alternate scenario it would have gone like this:
Man: Sisi
Me: Hello
Man: Can I ask you something, does this road take me to the mall?
Me: Yes it does go straight.
Man: Thank you. Do you live around here?
Me: Yes.
Man: Can I come visit you some time? You can give me your number
Me: I have to go, I’ve got a man.
Me: You think you special? Voetsek!! Thla!! B***h!!!
Eish, it is not easy being a woman.
