I
was driving in traffic the other day and there was this young boy selling
magazines that stopped by a taxi beside me to show a lady in the car his
magazines. Interestingly she took one of the magazines and flipped through all
the pages (I kid you not).
As
she was flipping through, the traffic was gradually moving along and the young
boy was in a mini run trying to keep up with the lady’s car. After what seemed
like five minutes of which the lady had practically read through the whole
magazine she then hands it back to the guy without buying it!!!
I
was so pissed at this…I am not saying you shouldn’t flip through to see what
you want to buy but for crying out loud please be considerate about these
roadside hawkers. Most of them have been in the hot blazing sun just trying to
earn a living and the least you can do is either patronize them or just let
them be.
If
you are actually guilty of this kind of act either knowingly or unknowingly I
implore us to please put ourselves in that street trader’s shoes and imagine
racing through the streets all day and then someone raises our hopes by seeming
interested in what we are selling and then after a looonnnng inspection of our
product just drops it and drives off!!
Imagine if she'd dropped the magazine on the road in attempt to return it cos traffic was faster? Not beyond such a woman!
