RESPECT IS RECIPROCAL

in Hive Naija5 months ago

Well they say respect is reciprocal but this days adult forget reciprocating the respect they get from we the young once and they feel very entitled to be respected which is very annoying. I hardly disrespect my mate not to talk of elders but some person's this days will push you hard that you will have no choice but to disrespect them.

I will tell you about an event that happened between me and my landlord that got me so pissed. Just relax and enjoy the ride, don't forget to share your opinion in the comments section.

I have been suffering from leaks in my room for over two years now and I have complained countless times to my landlord but he keeps posting me telling me that he will fix it when he gets his pension for the month, but once he gets his pension he immediately starts spending it on drinks till it gets finished, he kept on doing this for months that I was so pissed but I still try my best to talk to him calmly in other not to disrespect him,but I guess he took me for a fool who doesn't have a saying or a right. I went to report to his elder brother who is living next to our house and he told me not to worry that his brother will fix it when the next pension comes,well I should have known that the apple those not fall far from the tree. Both my landlord and his brother are drunkards and his elder brother is the one always motivating him to buy drinks while he kept his own money. Well to cut the long story short I went out with my friends to swim, while we were swimming it started raining and I was really cold so I decided to come back home so I can sleep just for me to get home and my neighbor told me that breeze blew away my zinc while it was raining oh, that I should check if the rain has not spoilt something surprisingly the usual spot that was leak didn't drop any water so I told my neighbors that no water inside just for me to lay on my bed it was as if I was back at the swimming pool, the bed was completely shocked and dripping, I got up furiously and went out, first I told my neighbors then I walked straight to my landlord apartment and called him to come and see what has happened, which he did but the statement he made got me thinking if he was been heartless,wicked or if he was seeing me as a fool. He said I shouldn't worry that I should manage next week he will call carpenter to fix it, ahh like next week so I will have to stay with the rain like that I flared up and told him nothing like that, that how those he expect me to sleep in the house with such condition, my bed was already shocked I will have to sleep on the floor for the night and he was still telling me to manage I told him to his face that am not managing anything that he is been wicked, the next thing he said was that I was disrespecting him, I didn't even mind him I told him I only respect those who respect themselves it got heated that he said he wasn't going to fix it since I was talking to him anyhow, me that my head is shaking because I have been keeping calm since I came to the house and I wasn't owing him rent , I took my phone right in front of him and started making calls, calling all my friend in the army to come that he must pay for damages and discomfort he caused me and people started beginning but he didn't even say sorry which was what I was expecting from the the beginning of the whole situation but he didn't say anything, my neighbors begged and begged till I finally accepted to listen to what they had to say.

After much talk he later called me in the evening and apologized to me and told me he wasn't having money on him at that point in time that if I have money on me I should fix it he will deduct it from my next rent which I did and that was how we settled if not I would have bring hell to him in his own house…. No peace for the wicked ..lol.
