A Nigerian lady has sparked conversations online after recounting an uncomfortable encounter with a man at a supermarket, which she said showed why some men miss genuine romantic opportunities.
According to her, she was standing behind the man in a checkout queue with only a few items when he noticed her basket and observed her closely throughout the payment process.
She explained that the situation became awkward when she briefly struggled to retrieve her card and complete the transaction, while the man simply watched without offering any form of courtesy.
Moments after she finished paying, he allegedly approached her, complimented her looks, and asked for her phone number.
The lady said she felt irritated by the timing, stressing that her reaction had nothing to do with money but with first impressions.
“It costs nothing to be a gentleman,” she said, adding that small acts of consideration can leave lasting impressions.
Her story has since triggered mixed reactions, with many agreeing that courtesy matters in everyday interactions.
