There are certain behaviors some people exhibit that are so dumb that it'll make you question your sanity. I have always pride myself on being surrounded by people with the highest quality of character making me very picky about the kind of people I keep around me. So whenever a friend or acquaintance acts super dumb, I begin to wonder how this person ever made it past the selection phase to become my friend.
They say common sense is not so common after all and today just proved that this statement should be made an international slogan. So today I came back from work extremely tired, a bit feverish and Soo weak I could not even cook. While I was still contemplating what to do next I got a surprise visit from a friend who had intentions of having his lunch at my place. Realizing that I had not made anything yet and seeing the current state I was in, he decided to do the cooking himself while I took a quick nap. I told him there was a pack of spaghetti in my green Ghana must Go bag and also showed where the rest of the ingredients were just so he won't be over stressed searching for where anything was before closing my eyes to recuperate.
The meal didn't take long to prepare and in less than an hour, everything was ready. Since I was still very sleepy I decided to rest some more before waking up to devour my own share of that pasta. When I finally gained complete consciousness from fairytale land, I headed straight for the pot to quench my hunger. The pot seemed heavier than what a remnant should be so I automatically thought he didn't eat much. When I opened the pot, I got the shock of my life. This guy had finished every spaghetti content inside and filled the pot with just water. The way I was overwhelmed by sadness, if I was not a full blown adult I would have broken down in tears. Questions started running through my mind about the kind of person I called a friend; why would anybody with a working conscience, go to someone's house, cook a balanced meal only to end up eating everything without leaving some of ur behind?. If he truly sees me as a friend why act this selfish and wicked at the same time?.
I immediately called him to get clarity for his actions. His response was that he was extremely hungry and seeing that was not showing any signs of waking up anytime soon, he decided to eat it all up. I was very disappointed and pissed at the same time. All the symptoms of malaria I had before vanished completely and I was forced to cook with a heavy heart. Currently I feel like there's definitely a crack in our friendship and it's going to last for a very long time. Hopefully I get past this because I don't even like the way I am feeling.
