My dear, that's how terrible people can be. Once they think you're quiet they'll start scheming for how to outsmart and use you. They mistake your quietness for foolishness and throw all sorts of rubbish at you until the day you'll react and boom! They'll start gossiping and demonizing you.

I've had similar experiences. When I meet people for the first time, I like to play the naive and foolish character in order to get to know the other persons better, and trust me, the result has always been the same. They'll try all their possible best to exploit my "naivety" until they push me to the wall and I react, ehn! The narration will now change with them gossiping about me and making others see me as the bad one.

People hardly use their discretion to treat good guys with equal measure of goodness. They'll always want to take advantage of you. It's a dog-eat-dog society out there!

PROPEACE:

Reminds me of the movie "The Count of Monte Cristo", if you haven't watched it, please do and see how a good man was turned to a wicked one. Most Nigerians are naturally sadistic, they get their kicks from being wicked and quite sadly, they prey on gentle people.

You mean, Satara?
I watched the count of Monte Cristo in 2006. One of my favourite movie. I long to watch it again.

I have a calm appearance and I hardly talk .

There was this agent that showed me an apartment that I liked ,he insisted on collecting Agent and agreement together (after paying 10k to show me the available apartments under him ) ,I said I would pay everything with the rent when I meet the landlord .

He insisted and I paid .I went behind to investigate and try to find out about the house ,why 4 flats were vacant in such fine building and environment in LAGOS!! because it wasn't adding up ,got stories of how previous tenants were not progressing , occultist landlord .

I called the agent that I wasn't interested,take 30k out of the money and refund the rest .I don't want the house again.
I called for weeks,I went to his office severally ,the beriberi secretary will say he's not in .

The day my head full ,I went to Ojo cantonment and explained myself to a friend . He said immediately I'm sure the agent is in his office,I should call.

Long story short ,na me and 5 Army officers drag the werey out .I collected the full money . Told him the 30k I wanted to give him will replace the transport fare and airtime I'd been wasting.

My debtor customers nko ?
They just always take quietness for stupidity 😂.

One was owning me money for two bags of rice for months and she was getting and posting her different catering events .I went to her house one early Saturday morning ,she started insulting me with Yoruba 😂

I'm a quiet lane minder but don't push my patience.

"I'm from Port Harcourt no be introduction ,na warning"

Why do most people like taking advantage of quiet people, as if they think if someone is quiet they see them as "mumu" because it's really frustrating.

Someone been quiet doesn't mean the people dont know anything or can't handle situation.

Take for example, there is one neighbour I have, she has been looking for a house girl for months now and she was willing to pay 25k for it, she has even paid an agent for it.
So one day she met this house girl that was living in the same street with her friend and asked her if she can find a girl for her, the house girl said she has a Sister that she can bring for her.
So this my neighbour gave her 15k to bring the girl, then the girl came and start working for her, the girl was very quiet and humble, she can tell the girl to run up and down the street and the girl will do it without complain.

My neighbour have a shop so the girl was going to the shop and doing Sales girl and also doing house girl at home, after one month my neighbour didn't pay the girl saying the 15k she use to bring the girl is her first month salary.
The girl didn't say anything because she is a quiet person and my neighbour like telling everyone that this girl doesn't know anything and she is the one teaching her everything.
So after second month of working my neighbour finally paid the girl and guess what she paid her 10k, imagine in this economy she is paying someone that is doing sales girl and house girl together for her 10k and the funny thing was she paid the girl once the girl told her, her period have come and she should buy pad for her, then she gave her her salary and tell her to buy pad from it.

It's just funny how some people thinks they are so smart they can take advantage of people, anyway the housegirl shocked her last week and pack her things and left, she was so surprised saying it people around that have spoiled the girl for her because she can't believe someone quiet like that can have her own mind of making that decision.
Now she is looking for a new girl and anybody she met they are telling her 25k and more, funny thing was that the old housegirl could have accepted 15k only of she didn't try to be smart about the situation.

Honestly some people are so wicked and heartless.

Plenty married woman are like that woman.
Woman have plenty issues, they like taking advantage

I'm quiet when I'm in public or with the people I'm not used to, but don't take my silence for granted because you'll regret it.

I remember when I just finished with my varsity education and was about to pack my things and go home, my friend's boyfriend asked that I borrow him my fridge until he finish his masters program, he was only left with one year... He assured me that he'll take good care of it and that I should come fetch it the following year in September.

He asked for the fridge through my friend, I thought about it and agreed to borrow him the fridge... I met him a few times and he saw me as this nice person who doesn't like any trouble.

Time went by and September, no one contacted me to tell me to come and fetch my fridge, I kept quiet for the whole of September... Around October, my friend told me that her boyfriend wanted to buy the fridge from me and asked me to name my prize, but I told her that I'm not selling it... Already I had promised someone else that I was going to give him that fridge... The guy called me and tried to plead with me, but I had already made up my mind and I was not selling it.

I told him that our agreement for me to borrow him the fridge had lapsed and I wanted to come and fetch the fridge because my eldest nephew who was doing his first year in varsity had already asked that I give him the fridge... This guy just said okay and I never heard from him again.

I called my friend and told her that I wanted to come and fetch my fridge... This friend of mine just started pleading with me and apologising because she knows the kind of a person I can be when I'm pissed off.. .. I'm nice, but I don't like being taken for granted or being played with.. She told me that her boyfriend completed his masters program two months ago and he left with my fridge.

I told her to make a plan since she's the one who came to me and asked for the fridge on his behalf, else she'll have to pay me the same amount that is equivalent to that of the fridge... She tried talking to him but the guy didn't take her seriously, I also called him, but he didn't take me seriously either, he was busy laughing.

I gave him a month to bring back my fridge and my friend told me that if he doesn't bring back the fridge within that month, I should get him arrested because she was really disappointed in him and she didn't care anymore.... A month passed by and nothing happened... I got some details of his whereabouts, even though it wasn't the exact location, which was far, but I traveled to that place and upon getting there, I went to the nearest police station that was working under the jurisdiction of that location, I opened a case of theft and thankfully, I still had my fridge receipts as proof that it is mine, and I traveled back home afterwards.

After two weeks, they called me and told me that they managed to locate and arrest the guy... Honestly, I wasn't expecting the police to solve the case that quick, I had my doubts.. .

He had just gotten a new permanent job when he got arrested and they immediately suspended him until further notice.. ... I later ended up dropping the charges after a couple of months because things were just not working out properly during the lockdown and I got my fridge back...

I don’t understand you guys quietness in the face of oppression.

I’m very chilled but highly observant. No try film beside me.

She is not quiet, she's a mumu. I am a very quiet person and reserved, but that doesn't mean I can't talk when the need arises. If you behave anyhow, I will change it for you immediately.

she not mumu. She is quiet and not troublesome. She 8s a type that avoid problem, she only act when the thing affect her badly, and was unable to manage it again.

chinae:

Everything isn't violence or screaming onto you voice because "you want change am for the person head". One can achieve same result in quietude via other means.

thanks

JayromWrites:
If there is anything I pray to God for every night. It is to take this quietness from me.


Like, I find it hard to talk, no matter how hurtful it is to me. And people have treated me like trash because of it.

same here with me. I hate myself because am too quiet, I'm not outspoken, people have hurt me badly for that. But what i know is that am not dumb

DTS just me, I use my brain more dan my mouth

kkins25:
Yeah! Just like how I'm always spending more anytime i go to market. Once they detect your nature, then, booom... inflation... 😂 😂 😂 I sometimes know that's not the price but... i hate myself sometimes..

Quietness has its disadvantages and advantages. The advantage, for me, is that no one ever suspect i can do evil. The disadvantage being unable to voice out during time of need and distress..

lol, omo DT ur advantage is also my advantage, pple go look me com b like D's boy dey quiet, e no fit do D's kind tin, just wait until u pour fuel in a small quiet fire n see wt happens nxt, personally I don't even want pple to see me as a good person because they always take advantage of it, they try to use it to their own favour, thereby crossing d line, BT wen u show them d dark side of u, the respect u more, they mind their boundaries n make sure they don't cross Dt line, I respect pple, and in return, I want to b respected, I don't like pple crossing my boundaries, DTS y am always quiet n mind d way I talk to avoid insults n embarrassments

I don't borrow and forget... and when I get into an agreement with someone, I like to honour it.

GreatVocalist:

Lol dude probably thought that if you could do without your fridge for one year, then you could do without it forever. In his mind, one year would be enough for you to forget about the agreement. Perfect scenario of simplicity and generosity taken for granted.

Not necessarily everytime o, most times I'll give the person a few opportunities to pass hin boundary before I do what's on my mind. And doing what's on my mind doesn't involve screaming or talking back o. Imagine going AWOL on the overbearing boss or individual.
