UNWRITTEN RULES

Sometimes there those situations that leave you looking stupid because of going ahead and forgetting to obey natures unwritten rules.

Example, when you are traveling alone in a bus, there only three things you can do, sit facing the front, facing the side or sleep and risk passing your next stop. For me the third choice is usually not an option, with all the pickpocketing going on am not going to make it any easier for them. 

So when your dealing with the first and second option the only thing left to do is think, think and think, sooner or later while going through your many thoughts u will eventually bump into something funny and if you are like me; who cant suppress laughter, you will end up smiling big and large leaving the person next to you wondering what’s wrong with you and sadly when you notice the person looking at you strangely, you have to reshape your smile into something somewhat more serious to save your image. That’s where I come in to question nature, who said that we can only laugh when everyone knows what the joke is?or when everyone agrees its funny? WHO? Because too many a moments of mine have been ruined by these unwritten rules, those moments I just wanted to burst out loud with joy .

Here goes another situation that got me almost labeled the other day, I was waiting for my friend and we were quite a few waiting for someone, I Was getting impatient as it had been half an hour of waiting and there is no fan in that, either way you know the drill, you have to keep a cool face and act fine in front of everyone else plus you cant even click because they aren’t the ones your mad at.At least my friend had the courtesy to call and inform me that she was running late something I learned later that someone had forgotten to do. That worked and got me relaxed coz let’s face it, its better than being stood up. so there I was waiting as others who we had shared the grounds with were met by there people and others just left (obviously stood up),then, in came this very handsome man, I wished he was the one I was meeting with, but oh well, he walked up to a lady who was standing next to me n she had been standing for long if I might add.

      What ensued was a very heated argument that I just couldn’t help but eve’s drop.

The lady was obviously infuriated by the man’s lack of courtesy to even call her and say that he was running late. They tried there best to keep it cool as everyone else except me tried to pretend that they were not listening,I tried my best to get in on what was going on and couldn’t help but just smile at the whole situation the lady noticed my nosy little face and sneered in dismay and decided to take there little misunderstanding outside, that’s when I realized I was breaking the rules. But the only difference between me and the rest of the people there is that, they are better actors than I am.

      Your still wondering what am talking about? I bet you have been through those moments yourself try and remember. You have been there, yes there in the office meeting and the boss is mad because of some shoddy work you and your colleagues did and you cant help but smile when you remember it was your apparently not so clever ideas that will cause the rest of the team to work over the weekend, that may not be very funny to the rest of your workmates but it is to you. Or in your younger years at class time and the class prefect reads out the noisemaker list and your friends name appears times three,again funny to you but not your friend over there.

 I could go on and on and if you still don’t get the drift then you are obviously one of those that don’t break the rules.
