Here are some of the annoying behaviors by Nairobians.
Walking like they own the sidewalks.
This is a nauseating habit that never changes. Nairobians don’t keep time. Keeping time involves being able to move from point A to B, with ease. But Nairobians don’t know how to use sidewalks, this makes walking in town harder than laying a virgin. You bump into people, people step on you, push and shove you and their mothers never taught them sorry.
Those who throw their gum on the ground, or stick it under restaurant tables.
Picture this, you are a lady going for a date. So, you strap on the best pair of heels you have, because the guy said something about heels and feet being his fetish. Now, as you cross the road to meet him, you step on a thick blob of gum. A thick intentional blob. Chewed gum that has a character. Simply because a Nairobian was too lazy to throw it in a bin.
The preachers
They are inevitable but they show up at the wrong time. Just when you sit down to enjoy a book or listen to whatever Willy Paul spews in form of music, there comes a preacher. They are shameless and have fallen into a repetitive habit of cramming verses and asking for the offertory. The street preachers are even worse. They perform a certain preachy form of rebuking where they cast all demons but for some reason, politicians continue to walk freely and in the best of health.
