lockdown due to coronavirus
With the lockdown issued by the government in Lagos, Ogun and the FCT, People had to work from home for the time. Some stayed at home with their parents, some were with their children, and then there are those who stayed in with a friend.
We made a list of funny experiences people have shared with what they had to go through.
My mum has turned to a food inspector and nutritionist, and there’s no day she doesn’t give me a lecture about what I eat, last night she saw me eat noodles with egg and wash it down with coke. It’s a new day, and she’s still lamenting about it. She says I want to kill myself. Egba mi!
I don’t think my mom respects me or understand that I’m a top executive at work. She shouts on me to wash plates while I’m on conference calls.
I have done almost every job since I came to stay with my parents in their house. I’ve been a cook, mechanic, engineer, gardener, carwash, attendant, masseuse, carpenter. After this lockdown is over, I am confident I can work anywhere.
My mom doesn’t believe it when I say I have a job. She’s concerned what I do all day is to sit on the couch and press my laptop. I suspect she thinks I’m into online fraud.
My dad has taken to coming to knock on my door every morning for me to prepare breakfast.
My father is convinced I am his slave, and I was sure I was going to run mad last week. I don’t know how any of his workers ever handled it.
My parents’ entitlement has skyrocketed during this period, and they think my being locked up in my room means I have nothing to do. Worse, I might even be out of a job before this is all over, I need to move out.
My people don’t regard working from home, especially the first week of lockdown, sometimes I’m up from 7 am to conference calls with other country offices, and when I say I haven’t slept well, it’s all glares and stares.
My husband farts a lot, and I didn’t know it was this lousy cause I only see him at night. is this what his colleagues suffer?.
My wife is terrifying in work mode. I feel like if I make too much noise in the kitchen, I might get a query.
My wife looks at our kids like she’s contemplating locking them outside. I’m ashamed cause I look at her like I’m waiting for her to give me the go-ahead.
Should I be worried about the fact that my husband likes romance a lot during our work break? What has he been doing during his spare time at the office?
My wife is a drunk! I don’t know if it is the kids or work that’s driving her to drink, but the empty wine bottles keep piling up.
You know that lesson teacher we hated as kids, those that never miss classes and always order you to bring chilled water from the fridge, it’s my husband, he is the one, the kids are tired.
I settle fights at least once every 30 mins, and I am beginning to think that setting up an octagon so they can both step in and fight it out once and for all will not be a bad idea.
My children are hooligans. I am tempted to get a DNA test, and they can’t be mine. Their teachers are trying.
I don’t know why my four-year-old is so active, and it’s not possible to be this active from morning till night. Last night he attempted to jump over his chair, fell and dislodged his tooth and almost immediately tried it again. My wife and I don tire, is it every time we will be spanking him?
My fiance is now a fulltime nudist. She doesn’t wear anything anymore. I’m not complaining o, I have even joined, I hope she doesn’t carry this behaviour to work when corona ends.
My host couldn’t believe that I finished a tuber of yam. I had to eat only once today to escape eviction.
I’m tired of my girlfriend. It was fun isolating with her for the first three days, but now it feels like we are in big brothers house and she’s beginning to act like that girl on the show that shall not be named.
