Queues | Zikoko!

Queue to withdraw your own money, buy food, do your laundry, pay bills and even collect change. Why all this? You could be channeling that time into securing the bag. *Squeezes face*

1. Disrupts your plans

Don’t bother accepting invitations anywhere, because by the time it gets to your turn on long queues, the event will be over.

2. Annoying attendants

Even when you make up your mind to just be patient till it gets to your turn, there’s always that one annoying person who is sluggish in attending to you.

3. Steals your beauty

The glow you left your house with will vanish after spending 5 hours in the sun queuing for one minor thing.

4. It gets longer

Just when you think it’s almost your turn, the queue will supernaturally get longer. *Suffers in silence*

5. Theft

Don’t be surprised to discover your phone or money missing after struggling to maintain your spot on a queue. Questions like “how?” and “who?” will flood your mind as you weep.

6. Waste of precious time

This one is very painful. You’ve waited and waited till you lost weight for your turn only for the attendant to suddenly disappear. It’s not their fault.

Inside Life

Nigeria, power, Queues, Sponsored Post
1. The Queue Prefect

This one likes to watch the line and make sure nobody is cutting the queue or trying to take another person’s space. They will fight you if you argue with them. Just jejely obey and stand where they tell you to.
2. The “I was here before” people

They’re always saying “I was here before”, even though nobody really remembers them being there before.
3. The “please can I enter?” people

These ones don’t want to spend too long on the queue, so they’ll be begging everybody on the line to give them space.
4. The Lord of the Cards

These ones are Baba card holders. Master of the cards. They will come with five ATM cards and will nearly finish all the money from the machine by the time they finish withdrawing.
5. The “I’m at your back” people

They are always at your back. They will go and find somewhere to sit and leave you there protecting their space. As if you too don’t know how to find sit too.
6. The ones that’ll spend 100 years trying to use the machine

They don’t know how to use the ATM but instead of them to ask somebody to help them, they’ll be forming bahd guy.
7. The ones that’ll print receipt only to throw it away

ATM, Nigerians, People, Queues
1. Has anybody noticed that the sun that beats when you’re on the queue is not even from here at all?

2. Then one person will now come and start protecting his pin as if Abacha transferred money to his account

3. The ones that help 7 people withdraw when 10 million people are behind them:

4. Those special ones that now decide to take their time and lay eggs at the ATM, wuzz the problem?

5. Instead of them to just say they can’t use the ATM, they’ll be waiting ten years for their helper to locate them

6. But come, have they done Nigerians with this ‘I’m at your back’ thing on queues?

7. You’ll already be thanking God that your turn has finally come, 5 people will just come out and say they’re in front of you

8. You’ll now reach the ATM, only to see ‘temporarily unable to dispense cash’
