Funny/Hilarious Stories & Experiences

I have a neighbor who has a terrible habit of borrowing things, even when she has her own. She would rather use someone else’s items than her own, and it has become so bad that other tenants now hide their things from her or lie just to avoid lending her anything. It doesn’t matter if she has the exact same item; she will still prefer to take from another person.

Recently, a new tenant moved in, a quiet lady who brought along a brand-new blender. As expected, my neighbor wasted no time in getting close to her, establishing a friendly relationship just to gain access to her belongings. Soon enough, she asked to borrow the blender, and since the new tenant didn’t know her history, she gave it to her without hesitation.

Unfortunately for my neighbor, disaster struck. While using the blender in her room, an electrical fault caused it to burn out completely. The situation was no longer funny. Instead of taking responsibility, she tried to shift the blame onto the caretaker, claiming the wiring in the building was faulty. However, other tenants, who were already fed up with her behavior, refused to let her escape this time. They insisted that she must replace the blender because this was not the first time she had damaged borrowed items.

Now, the real question is how she plans to get a new blender for the tenant. As I write this, the new tenant is completely unaware of the gbas gbos going on. She probably still believes her blender is safe and will be returned soon. I can only imagine the drama that will unfold when she finds out what has happened.

I have this beautiful dress I wear once in a while which I decided to wear on this fateful day. The thing about this dress is that I always forget to zip it up at the back but thankfully someone always catches it and tells me before I step out.

On this fateful day I wore this dress and zipped up but then I had to remove it to wear a camisole. After the quick change, I put the dress back on and that's when I forgot🤦🏽‍♀️

Anyway I went about getting ready for my outing and finally I stepped out feeling myself as a babe😩, I had already walked a bit far when I touched my back and found out my zipper was undone, imagine my shock and embarrassment but then we move.

Happy international women's day to all the ladies on here🤗

It was my first time tasting a grape. My uncle had come back from the market with some, and when I took a bite, it was just so wholesome. I got a few portions, and my siblings also took their share. The grapes were so small, and I worried why my uncle hadn’t bought enough, knowing how delicious they were. It was hard to resist just taking a little bite. I craved more of that sweet flavor, so I decided to go to the market and search for grapes myself.

I took along 2000 Naira, hoping it would buy me a lot more, enough for me and my family. When I arrived at the market, I spotted the grapes displayed neatly on a table. They were arranged in a plastic container, and I pressed forward to the seller to bargain for the price.

stood in shock for two minutes, glaring at the little grapes displayed in the plastic container. I asked the seller to repeat the price she had quoted, and when she did, it left me astounded. She demanded 7,000 Naira for just a small container of grapes! I began to process this outrageous price, but she wasn’t budging. She insisted on the 7,000 Naira for the few grapes I could count in the container, they couldn’t have been more than 15.

I realized I couldn’t spend that amount on grapes, especially since I had only brought 2,000 Naira with me. Feeling frustrated, I pocketed my money and headed home immediately. I didn't even mention my ordeal with the seller to my family, who knew I had gone to the market to buy grapes. I kept it to myself, and now I’m sharing my story with you.

They had set the pole up very high. Yes, I had specifically told them to set it high because I remembered the times when I used to jump; I could leap higher than anyone else in my age group. So, I instructed my colleagues to elevate the pole, eager to show off my skills once again.

But as I began my run from the drawn line, I noticed how the pole loomed above me, even taller than I had imagined. A wave of embarrassment washed over me, and I realized I couldn't clear it. Deep down, I knew I wasn't ready—at least not in that moment.

I took a step back and tried again, but I still couldn't do it. The pressure was mounting, and I eventually asked them to lower the pole. Perhaps if I started with a more manageable height, I could work my way back up to where I once was. The truth was, I had lost my confidence, and humiliation coursed through me as I faced the laughter and mocking comments from my team master.

After I kept insisting, they finally lowered the pole, and I began my run again. I focused on adapting to the pace I had previously used before jumping. With this renewed confidence and skill, they set the pole back to its original height. This time, when I approached it, I leaped and successfully cleared the bar!

The crowd erupted in applause, and with that rush of encouragement, my confidence soared. Filled with pride, I asked them to raise the pole even higher. I took a deep breath and made my attempt, and to my delight, I jumped over it with renewed assurance. It felt like I had reclaimed my past abilities.

Many in the crowd found the height impossible, and one by one, my peers failed to clear it. But not me—I had left my mark, and I was proud to say that I would be representing the school in the upcoming inter-house sports. This moment was not just a victory; it was a testament to overcoming doubt and reclaiming my skills.

Whenever I had a visitor over, I always gravitated towards the right side of my bed which was the side closest to the wall. It was where I felt most comfortable, a habit I had grown fond of over time. But during one particular visit, my friend, who could be quite stubborn, insisted on taking that spot. Despite my clear objections, she persisted and ended up pushing me towards the end of the bed.

I tried to keep my frustrations in check. Our friendship had evolved to a point where we rarely allowed petty disagreements to get the better of us. Still, I found it hard to manage my discomfort in that moment. I shifted uncomfortably, attempting to acclimate to my new position, but it wasn't easy.

Then, out of nowhere, a bit of unexpected drama unfolded, a mystery of its own. My fan, which had been blowing a steady breeze in the room suddenly fell, landing right on my friend’s head. The suddenness of it all startled him and shook him awake from his stubbornness.

Seizing the opportunity, I quickly switched positions, reclaiming my rightful side of the bed.

There was a box in my room that needed dusting, so I took it down during my cleanup. I was mopping the floor and had set the box on the table to check for some good items and decide what to throw away. While I was in the process, a friend came in, and we laughed and talked. After he left, I got distracted and forgot about the box.

I had already dusted and cleaned the whole room when I remembered the box still sitting on the table, dusty. I pushed it to take it outside, but it slipped from my hand and fell onto the floor. The dust and contents of the box scattered everywhere, dirtying the place I had just mopped. I felt tired and didn't know whether to sweep or continue my cleanup. I got so overwhelmed that I left everything and lay down on my bed for a moment of rest.

After what felt like 20 minutes, I got up and continued with the cleanup. It was a nice little break, and I had regained some energy. I cleaned everything up and threw away everything from the box. I had planned to pick out some items, but because of the uncertainty from the incident of it falling on the ground, I just emptied everything into the bin instead.

I remember when drinking used to be part of my life, but that all changed when I repented and gave my life to Christ. Back then, a night out with friends almost always involved alcohol. One particular night stands out in my memory. We had just finished drinking, but I kept my intake low so I could see the road clearly. The rain had poured heavily earlier, leaving the streets wet and muddy. By the time we left the bar, it was already dark, and all we had was a dim torchlight to guide us home.

As we walked, I kept cautioning my friend to put away his beer bottle so he wouldn’t get more intoxicated, but he paid no attention. He was holding on to it like it was the most precious thing in the world. The road was slippery, and puddles of rainwater filled the usual spots. We moved carefully, but my torchlight battery was running low. Just as we reached a particularly tricky junction, the light finally died. I quickly turned to a nearby shop, hoping to get new batteries before we continued.

In the brief moment I got distracted, I completely forgot about my friend. The next thing I heard was a loud splash, followed by the sound of someone struggling to get up. I turned around to see him sprawled in a large puddle of stagnant water. But what shocked me the most was that, even in his fall, he still held the beer bottle high, making sure not a drop spilled.

I couldn’t hold back my laughter. I reached out and helped him up, and we both burst into laughter, walking the rest of the way home.

Today was quite eventful. I went to a cyber café to type and print some documents. The place was packed with people, all busy with different things. I borrowed a keyboard and started working on my document while overhearing a conversation about the best universities. Some people were really arguing, each defending their school like their life depended on it.

After a while, I stepped out to buy a half bag of water for everyone in the café. The weather was hot, and I figured they could use some. When I returned, something interesting happened. One of the guys there must have felt inspired because he went out and bought food for everyone. Just like that, I got a free lunch without expecting it. It was funny how a small act of kindness led to something even bigger.

Once I finished typing and printing, I packed my things and headed outside. Just as I was about to leave, I saw an old friend from way back. It had been a long time since we last met, but one thing hadn’t changed about her, she was still as short as ever. It made me smile because, in my mind, I always imagined she would have grown taller.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to catch up properly. We exchanged pleasantries, laughed a little, and then I had to leave. It felt good seeing her again, but life keeps moving, and sometimes, you just have to keep going.

This morning was church cleanup day, so I arrived early to join in. After the opening prayers, we had a short meeting where everyone was given refreshments. The atmosphere was lively, with people chatting and preparing for the cleanup. It felt good to be part of the team, knowing we were working together to keep the church clean and organized.

Once the cleaning started, I suddenly remembered something we used to do as kids. Back then, we would stack up plastic chairs and climb to the top just for fun. Feeling a bit nostalgic, I decided to try it again. I carefully arranged several chairs, making sure they were stable, then climbed up and sat at the highest point. The feeling was incredible, like I was on a throne, watching everything from above.

As I sat there, completely relaxed, I almost forgot about the cleanup going on around me. The cool breeze, the height, and the slight swaying of the chairs made it an oddly satisfying experience. I was enjoying my moment when, suddenly, I heard my leader’s voice calling my name. He was urging me to come down and lead the closing prayer. At that moment, I realized I had been sitting up there for quite some time, just enjoying the view.

With a smile, I climbed down from my "throne" and joined the group. Everyone was already gathered, waiting for the prayer to wrap up the day's work. I took a deep breath, cleared my mind, and led the closing prayer, thanking God for strength and unity.

I had enough of the rats disturbing our compound, so I decided to take my revenge. I bought a few rat traps, hoping to teach them a lesson. That night, before going to bed, I carefully placed the traps in different corners, places where I had seen them pass before. I smiled to myself, knowing that by morning, some of them would be caught. Finally, I went to sleep, feeling satisfied with my plan.

Around midnight, I woke up because I needed to use the toilet. After easing myself, I remembered the traps and decided to check them. To my surprise, none of them had caught anything. I felt disappointed but told myself it was still early. I checked the time—it was 12:14 AM. With nothing to do, I went back to bed, hoping for better luck by morning.

By 5 AM, I woke up again and went to check the traps. This time, things had changed. Some traps had been moved, one was empty, and in another, I saw two small rats caught together. I stared at them, watching them struggle, their tiny bodies shaking in fear. For a moment, I felt a little pity, but then I reminded myself of all the nights their family had disturbed my sleep.

No matter what, I couldn’t let them go. I had to make an example of them so that the others would learn. I took the trap outside and made sure they would not come back to cause trouble. It was a small victory, but at least I could enjoy some peace for a while.

I've been noticing my neighbor for quite some time now. For nearly two weeks, he’s been wearing these same shorts, day in and day out. He’s a good friend, and I’ve tried to advise him told him it would be a good idea to wash them at least once. But he just won’t do it. He wears those shorts to run errands, to the school to pick up things, and even to meet his lecturer. It seems like there’s nothing he hasn’t done while wearing them, and the fact that he hasn’t washed them still amazes me.

It makes me reflect on the kind of people we’re fostering in this community. What values are we instilling in one another? It saddens me to see individuals, particularly younger ones, who don’t prioritize hygiene or personal maintenance. It feels like there’s a lack of awareness or appreciation for self-care, and I can’t help but wonder how this affects the community as a whole. Sometimes, it’s these small habits that reveal so much about a person’s values and upbringing.

There’s a saying that men are dirty, and while I’ve always found that hard to believe, this particular guy is testing my patience. I’ve tried to advise him countless times because we’re close friends, but he just wouldn’t budge. It’s like he has this attachment to those same green shorts that he wears day in and day out morning, afternoon, and night.

Honestly, if you happen to see any guy walking around in green shorts, it might just be him. If you do, feel free to call out to him and ask if his name is Kingsley. He could very well be the one I’m talking about. I just wish he’d realize how off-putting this is and take the simple step of washing his clothes. It’s baffling and a little concerning, especially seeing how it reflects on personal care and hygiene. It's a reminder of how important it is to take pride in ourselves and our appearance, not just for our sake but for those around us as well.

Few days ago, I took a taxi to somewhere to buy some items I was in need of, when I entered into the hands of some 419s. I've been hearing of how they operate, but that was my first encounter, everything I heard about them played out exactly the same. Being fully aware of the tactics, I followed them up in a very calm manner, they were frustrated in the end. I know they were not expecting it, but, it is what it is.

I came out to the junction to meet a taxi waiting for passengers, the driver asked if I was gonna board the taxi and I replied with a nod. There was one young lady at the back, and a guy at the front. Immediately I entered, another passenger, a guy entered after me, and the taxi moved. On our way, this people sparked up a conversation, I maintain the mood I always maintain while boarding a vehicle, and that is to be silent.

They were talking and laughing, and even tried to initiate me into the conversation, I refused to let a single word out of me. It wasn't long when the guy in front, started talking about how he is looking for where to change dollars into naira. A very popular tactics by this fraudsters, I knew the situation I was in, and decided to be calm and let everything play out. I pretended not to even hear what they were saying, and very busy with my phone.

I noticed how the driver was looking at me through the mirror, I'm sure they were pissed off already. They are rumored to be with charms, that will only work on you, when you reply to whatever they are saying. If I never believed it before, the guy that was talking about dollars has proven it to be true. When they couldn't get me to talk, even concerning the dollar matter, the taxi stopped, and the driver said he's not going my way again, and that I should go down.

I went down jejely, the driver looked at me and cursed me while zooming off, I laughed. Such a very popular method has been casted, they should better go and find a legal work to do. I escaped in a majestic manner.

Just the other day, I was running late for class, I was very late, despite that I tried my best, I still couldn't meet up on time. So I had no choice than to run from my house, down to where I was going to enter a shuttle inside the school. It was on a hot afternoon, I was started sweating before I could finish dressing because of how much I was in a hurry. The run had to be very fast, else, I will be more late than expected.

I was surprised to run into a dog that was sleeping on the road, while I was still navigating my way out of my street. The dog woke immediately and began to run away, thinking it was under an attack. It was very funny, I laughed, the dog was in a deep sleep, the eyes were red, and I'm sure it was running for it's life, with sleep in it's eyes. But then, the run didn't stop, I still had to get to class on time, I kept moving.

The dog ran ahead of me, and in the next few meters, there was an uncompleted building, with two guys sitting in front, with substance in their hand, that I think it was weed. Immediately they saw me running towards them, they left what they were doing and ran away with full speed. Believe me I was running fast, in their mind, it must be police officers that are after me, and they ran even without seeing anything after me.

I wanted to call out to them and tell them that no one is pursuing me, but then they looked rough and could have beaten the hell out of me for scaring them, so I continued my run quietly, while they ran and branched unknown destinations. I could not hold my laugh, it was very funny. It's only a guilty man that runs when nothing is pursuing him, so they deserved the 'run for your life's incident.

Got to class with my clothes soaked in sweats, and the funny incident didn't leave my head even for a second. 'Dogs and humans run in a blind battle to save their lives', that would have made a top headline if there were drones covering the event. Me that was innocently running to class, guilty beings were busy running too. Chai!

We all came out to do the Saturday cleaning, but this particular guy that moved into the compound was stubborn. He didn't know how things were done in this new residence, and he had just popped in a week ago, claiming he was a big boy and muscular, but we wouldn't give him a chance.

Immediately our lodge president identified that he was proving stubborn and not ready to join us for the Saturday cleanup activities. We all rushed out to meet him as we knocked. He was just bewildered. He couldn't talk again. As we dragged him to the spot for the cleanup, it looked like it was a movie because he was far outnumbered. People had clustered around him, and if he had made any wrong move, he could have been taught a very severe lesson.

If he had come from a lodge where they don't do cleanup or they don't respect anybody, this particular lodge and residence is quite different.

He thought that with his big head and wooden shoulders, that he could come here and claim superiority. He's lucky he didnt chop sand.

Kelvin burst out laughing when he saw the laptop I had hoped to buy for a low price opened up on my table. I couldn’t help but join in his laughter. The sight was both amusing and a little sad by the way. This laptop belonged to a friend who was eager to sell it after years of neglect. I thought it might serve me well for some simple tasks in the future, even though it was an old model of an older generation with a mere 2 GB of RAM which is far from being up to do with today’s demanding online tasks.

As I booted it up, the old fan in the laptop wheezed, making strange noises as if fighting its existence. In that moment, I understood what I was I was in for, recognizing the irony of my hopeful purchase.

Yet, after our laughter subsided, I began to reevaluate my decision. I resolved to return the laptop to my friend. There was no way I would buy such a device; it would only serve to make me a laughingstock coupled with embarrassment.

I was walking very slow to school today after I prepared early for classes. I started off walking slow and then when I was halfway in the journey, I saw one of my female crush, a beautiful girl, Favour is her name, when I saw her from afar, she was ahead of me. So I increased my pace in order to reach her so we could just talk and reach the school together.

We were conversing and I was maintaining my composure and everything was in order but all of a sudden my village people decided to call and my shoe began to make my toes uncomfortable.

When I looked, the mouth of the shoe was already open, the sole had been cut off and I hadn't known this all along.

Immediately I noticed that my shoe was in bad shape, I got a little bit embarrassed and I hoped she wouldn't look at my shoe. As we walked on and I do not know whether she noticed, but every eye that I saw seemed like they were looking at my shoe even when they weren't looking.
I couldn't go back home after the long walk, there was no repair shop around that area too, leaving me with the option to walk until I was close to my department.

There’s a street I pass by often in the evenings, and it’s always lively with children playing. They greet me with so much joy whenever they see me, their energy contagious. But one day, something felt off. From a distance, I noticed the street was unusually quiet. None of the kids were there, which was strange because nothing ever seemed to stop them from playing.

As I got closer, I noticed the ground looked rough, with marks of little feet and scattered game equipments. It was clear they had been playing there earlier. I brushed aside my curiosity, thinking they might have gone home early, and continued walking. Suddenly, out of nowhere, they all jumped out of their hiding spots, shouting, "Uncle, we played you!" I couldn’t help but laugh. These kids had actually planned to prank me, and it worked perfectly.

One of the kids ran up to me with his report card in hand, beaming with pride. He had finished the term in third position and couldn’t wait to show it off. I congratulated him, then asked why he hadn’t gone home yet since school was over. His answer was predictable; they were too caught up in playing to even think about it. I reminded them that it was getting dark, and it was time for everyone to head home.

But of course, these kids weren’t letting me off that easily. They insisted I couldn’t send them away without giving them something, as if it was a tradition I had somehow signed up for. They were so persistent that I couldn’t say no. So, we all walked to the nearest shop, and I asked the store owner to give each of them a sachet of Hollandia yoghurt.

After that, everyone finally went their separate ways, and I continued my walk with a smile, knowing I had made their evening just as they had made mine.

When my lecturer yelled, "If you bring that hair back to my office, I won't attend to you," I knew she meant business. She was one of the strictest in my department, and while most of the other lecturers never minded my hair since I always kept it combed and neat, this particular woman seemed to have a serious problem with it. Her irritation was clear, and I didn’t want to risk any issues with her course.

Stepping outside, I thought long and hard about my options. Keeping my hair meant appearing stubborn, and that could backfire during the semester. Reluctantly, I decided it was best to trim it down. I walked to the nearest barbershop, sat in the chair, and told the barber to make it low. It felt like a small price to pay for peace with my lecturer, but little did I know it would open a whole new set of problems.

The reactions were immediate and brutal. My friends and classmates couldn’t stop teasing me. They said I looked like a monkey, a new primary school student, and even a newly admitted boarding school kid. The taunts came from everywhere. People weren’t used to seeing me with a low cut, and honestly, I wasn’t used to it either. It was embarrassing, but I had to endure their jokes and awkward stares for the next two months until exams were over.

From that experience, I made a decision: never again. No matter who complains or what the stakes are, I’ve sworn to keep my hair. That semester taught me more than just academics, it taught me the cost of trying to please everyone.

It had been a long time since I last visited my childhood friend, Sarah. We had grown up together, but life took us in different directions, and distance kept us apart. When the holiday came, I was excited to finally have the chance to see her again.

When I arrived at her house, I couldn’t believe how beautiful she had become. Her smile was just as warm as I remembered, and her laughter filled the room with joy. We hugged tightly, both of us feeling the happiness of being reunited after so long.

We spent hours talking about our lives. I shared stories about my job and my adventures, while she told me about her studies and the things she loved to do. It felt like no time had passed at all.

After catching up, I offered to help her with some house duties. We washed dishes, tidied up, and even baked some cake together. It was fun working side by side, and we laughed as we made a little mess in the kitchen. The smell of fresh cake filled the house.

Not long we were done and the entire family can't wait to have a taste of want we have going on in the kitchen, no joke but we're very certain in our ability as we cannot disappoint their appetite.

After the meal we both left to grab a few stuff together and it was fun all through recreating some of our childhood memories along the way and smiling like babies

I just finished watching a horror movie, and I really enjoyed it. It was incredibly scary and fun. I usually prefer these kinds of movies over others because they keep me on my toes. I love experiencing the thrill, the waves of jitters, and all the shocking moments. The suspense in horror films is often out of this world, and that’s what I enjoy the most.

During the day, I watched the movie until the evening, and then it was time for my bath. I typically take a bath twice a day: one in the afternoon and again in the evening. To be more precise, I prefer bathing close to 10 PM to 11 PM at night. It really helps me sleep better.

So, there I was, just about to take my bath, with scenes from the movie replaying in my head.

Suddenly, a wave of wind blew through the windows, chilling my body, and that’s when the fear really set in. I felt the tension I had been experiencing while watching the movie increase, combined with the cold of the night. Just then, a spider landed on my back, causing me to jump up from my squatting position in fright.

In a panic, I rushed out of the bedroom and decided that I wouldn't let myself be won by mental stress this time. Although I realized just a minute later that it was only a spider that had scared me like that, I was already in a towel drying myself up.

I think I’ll skip the bath for tonight. It’s time for some rest. I’ll see you all later. Goodnight!
