2 days ago

WELCOME!

The 22nd week [cc-wk22] of the Com contest had 4 entries, with interesting stories on **"That My Neighbour!" **. Below are the top three entries:

Gold🥇

@beckyroyal with Borrower of life

I looked at him as he walked away with the spoonful of salt on his palms that he had just finished borrowing and shook my head in amazement. What surprised me about his behaviour was that he wears the latest clothes, he sprays expensive perfumes and dates very expensive girls. Soon, I began to monitor his spending technique because it was odd to me that a guy who worked doesn't have certain home necessities like broom, mops, pots, matches, spoons, plates, toothpaste, detergent and more. He would always borrow from one neighbour or the other and I was his primary target...

Silver🥈

@ellizy with My Gunumo (gasbag) Neighbour

Before she would try to call me from the window, her oversized slippers would have announced that she was approaching from the way it would be making Kpa kpa kpa sounds behind her as she walked. Then the call would come “mummy Kareem, your oga dey?(is your husband around) You no dey fetch water today? (Won't you fetch water today)Once the call comes, I would quickly finish anything I was doing then grab my basin while she waits...

Bronze🥉

@marsdave with The Gossip Queen Next Door

And this woman, don't even allow her be in any gathering, cause she will be the one to save and implicate you at the same time, we had a meeting some weeks ago, two women began to fight and she quickly jumped in, shouting, "it's okay, it's okay, you both are old now." After a few minutes that everywhere had died down, guess what she said..., "wait o, no be you her daughter abuse in the yard yesterday, calling you names..."

Many thanks to all participants!

New Prompt

Before you make an entry, please take note of this:
WHEN YOU ADD SENTENCES IN YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE OR PIDGIN ENGLISH, ALWAYS PUT AN INTERPRETATION

"Adulting Is a Scam"

Tell your funniest experience about realizing adulthood isn’t as fun as you thought — from bills to heartbreaks to burnt food.

Want some ideas?

- As an adult, you must have gotten to a stage where you’re choked with unimaginable expenses and you paused for a moment, wishing you could go back to the days when you had no business paying for anything as a child.

- What about heartbreaks? You’ll agree that the kind of heartbreaks you’ve suffered or are currently suffering in the hands of relationships are far more painful than what you experienced as a teenager — if you ever experienced one, though. Generally, adulthood comes with full doses of relationship heartbreaks!

- Have you ever been faced with a workload that’s after your life, and you regretted being an adult?

And many other scenarios
