Matatus are common means of transport in Kenya, middle-class Kenyans all over in major towns of Kenya use matatus to commute to their workstations.
Below are on guys u can never miss in a matatu
1. Small talk guys
This is my number one because most of the guys you find who want small talk are weirdos with halitosis. Sometimes after work, you want to sit in a matatu and listen to your music or read a book after a long day but this guy will really insist on knowing your favorite color. This is a disease men suffer from the most.
2. Hungry Birds
You can never miss these guys ever! It’s weird how you are always hungry when one of these guys decide to open a paper bag full of fries and then they have added a dash of vinegar so the whole matatu has that smell and the worst part is you can’t tell the guy akuonjeshe hata moja.
3. Loudmouths
First of all, why is it the loudest guys are the ones who speak a foreign language? These guys have been in the queue for over an hour then they just decided when we have all settled in to call their uncle from ushago and bruh, the stories never end. Or the guys who come as a squad of 5 guys in different seats then they decided its story time and they have been either in class or office together.
4. Gazeti addicts
Mostly men who can’t wait to sit down and ask the driver for the newspaper especially the free circulated copy and then they just spread it out to your side its like you want to read it.
5. Peeping Toms
Now, these are the guys who have just landed in a place for the first time. They will open the window and then stare the whole journey through.
6. Sleepyheads
The specific time is usually early morning and after working hours. Especially when the sun is out in the evening, the sleep is real! These guys will doze off and even place their head on your shoulder but because sometimes you understand the struggle you just let them.
7.Anti shower
This would probably be my number one because it is the most common and serious issue we need to address! Deodorant is important! I know we are a working nation but hygiene muhimu! Especially when the both of you are standing and he lifts his hands up, you are not even ready!
8. Hawkers
Some of them make our days though. They come in to advertise a certain product but these guys always have an accent. They crack us up especially when you’re in traffic but its good we need some entertainment.
