I boarded a taxi going out of town yesterday and whilst we waited for the vehicle to fill up, a couple of the passengers, both young ladies in their twenties hung on their mobiles in some romantic conversation.
Their discussions over the phone could be heard by all, so you could imagine how I felt to overhear both girls telling their supposed lovers that they were embarking on journeys to different destinations respectively from where our taxi driver was taking us to.
An old joke came to mind which I ended up sharing with them after they dropped their calls.
A certain man boarded a transport service heading to Lagos and after covering good distance towards their destination, his fellow passengers started making phone calls all around him.
One of the callers told the other person on the line that he was heading towards Abuja for an important meeting with the Minister.
Another caller was apologizing to a disappointed lover that his mother had taken ill and that he was on his way to the village somewhere near Calabar to be by her side.
Yet another was cursing over the phone, obviously to his staff and threatening him that he was on his way to Port Harcourt 'immediately' to 'deal' with the errant subordinate.
When a fourth passenger's phone chat indicated that he was heading to the airport to board a flight out of the country, the poor Lagos bound passenger had to scream blue murder and vehemently request from the where the vehicle was heading to?
So for those of you serial 'story tellers' who tell tales whilst on phone just to suit the moment, don't be oblivious of persons who may be eavesdropping on your conversation because you may make some of us who may not be that bold to ask the driver, 'where is this bus going?' to alight and take an alternative route to our destination!
