When you get your heart broken, you’re convinced no pain on Earth can compete with how you feel. Sure, your heart feels like it’s been stabbed every time you take a deep breath, but trust us, there’s worse pain. 

Missing your flight 

You’d never physically and financially recover from this. Every time you’re broke, you’ll remember you paid money for a flight you could’ve caught if you were just a bit earlier. The pain will be engraved on your mind for as long as you live. 

Having hot coffee spilt on you

Your hot jollof pouring on the floor 

You’ve had a long day at work and you’re about to settle down to a hot plate of jollof rice with two pieces of meat. But once again, your village people take your joy personally and need to destroy it. How? By awakening your clumsy genes. Now, your jollof rice is all over the floor and your meat has rolled under your sofa, where you last saw your house rats hiding. You’re left hungry, angry and vengeful. 

Your phone not charging overnight 

On one of the few occasions the national grid hasn’t collapsed, you have light all through the night. You’re ecstatic because you have a long outing tomorrow and you need a full battery. By the time you wake up, your joy is short-lived. You forgot to put on the switch. Your phone? Dead. Power bank? Dead. Source of joy? Dead. 

ATM swallowing your card
