I don't like to curse. I cringe everytime I encounter someone with a potty mouth...and it's really not about being a goody 2 shoes or whatevs. It's just one of my things.
And so, for all your favorite curse words, I like to find nicer replacements. For instance:
Modachoker
The very common bish or beesh.
And my recent fave: Fudgemuffin which really should represent curse words of the 'F' variety.
Fudgemuffin!!!
That was exactly what sprung to mind when I landed at the Train station at 6:20am and realized that I had left my wallet at home. Modachoker!!! Who leaves their wallet at home? That precious wallet happens to contain my monthly pass for the train. What had happened was... I took it out of my bag to carry to the gym. I always take it out on my way to the gym cos my license and insurance card is in it, and you just never know...and I guess this time around, I totally missed the memo and forgot to stick it back in my bag.
So, I was faced with 2 options:
A. Go back home and retrieve it.
B. Wing it without the wallet, any form of cash and any means of paying for my commute back and forth.
I picked B. Hopped my pretty behind on the train, and when the ticket guy came around... I simply told him that I forgot my monthly pass and couldn't buy a regular one way pass cos I gots no wallet. He simply shook his head and walked away to which I called out a very sheepish 'thank youu' to his retreating back.
As for the 2nd leg of the trip, I just rustled up some change which should be enough to send me off on my merry one way commute.
I think that I might be able to find my bank somewhere in the vicinity so that should solve the problem of cash to make my way home.
Note to self: Never leave your wallet at home again. I can already spot the inconvenience from afar. No cash for my almost orgasmic morning coffee, no bankcard for any err...incidentals, no license + insurance just in case, I get pulled over for some odd reason or even worse, get into an accident (I reject am!) Etc etc.
I know, I know...who thinks that far ahead?
Aniwoos. I really was just looking for any excuse to update. I miss Blogsville + it seems that I currently appear to be having 'blogger's block'.
Currently typing from my phone and it really isn't bad at all, I can definitely get with the blogging from phone program.
Gotta run, but before I do I must say... HAPPY THANKSGIVING. There is a lot to be thankful for even though we do not realize it.
Ok gotta run for real, its time to catch the next train.
Peace and Love,
Mgbeks.

Am i first? Woohoo! Anyway, you're a lucky "beesh" because that same thing happened to me in London and I was promptly slapped with a 20 pound fine delivered on my doorstep 2 days later. They don't accept any damn excuse. Too many freeloaders in the system I guess.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
In one European country like that I happened to get lost and had exhausted my Euros beause I carried just the right amount of money to pay for my trip to and from my destination. When I didn't show the ticket attendant my money or show her my ticket, I thought she was going to mud me. Seriously. I'm sure she was thinking, "these muthachoking foreigers!" She asked me for my passport just to make sure I had indeed come from a faraway land and made me promise to pay for it on my way back. Is it a beans? Anyhoo, I found a Naija person on the street (thank Goodness) who sponsored my trip back. Thank God we're everywhere! Hope that never happens again.
Excuse my typos :)
Fudgemuffin.
u lucky beesh!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Canada celebrated hers weeks ago.
My favourite replacement swear word is Sugar..I say "Oh sugar" every 2 minutes..instead of what I really want to say…which is OH F!!!
That ticket guy is a good one, the ones in UK are wicked with a capital letter...
I miss you too ehmmm or your great posts LOL.
Ahhh, this happened to me once but I went to the post office. I didn't find out till everything had been weighed and ready for payment. No wallet to be found.Luckily I have two wallets, one for cash/change, one for ID and cards. I had only the change one, so I counted out all the $1 and coins I had. It was still less $2 or so. I was so embarrassed, but the attendant was nice.
fudgemuffins!!! how did you forget the modachoking wallet?? how the helicopter did you hop into another plane justt like that??? hahaha i enjoyed this! happy Thanksgiving oo!
Didn't used to curse but since I came back from naija i am a curser.
i dont like cursing either, everytime i think of cursing i just imagine my mum knocking me into nextweek.
anyhoo, ive never forgotten my purse or my cards and hopefully i never do.
Mehn hahaha would be pissed if I forgot my wallet to. Like wow, sorry hun.
Modachocker that must suck! Happy thanksgiving hon! Be safe...
Cursing is not my thing. I hated pple who cursed when I lived somewhere in Europe. Some of them use it as a 'filler'.
Anyway,thank goodness you got to your destination.
I like reading ur blog.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I swear compulsively, and euphemisms are NOT my thing. Yeah, I know. LOL!
America easy o! I can imagine what would happen if you gave a Lagos 'bus conductor' the I-forgot-my-wallet-at-home excuse. Bus stop drama!
One of the reasons i do nt have a wallet. Lose it and u ar screwed especially when u live in lagos.
fudgemuffin....lol
i dnt carry my wallet around again, jus a lil cash n important cards but d down side is it's in a particular jacket so i wud b lost w/out it.
i have had a similar experience before only that i had my wallet on me but did not have money for the fine, i was going to see my bf oo..thts how i got on the train but with their crazy u have to leave according to the time on your ticket. your ticket would be invalid if you leave before the time on your ticket. me now i carried my strong head on the train and pretended not to know anything about the law. thts how my ticket guy was making his rounds checking for ticket, i showed him mine and he said sorry ma'am ur ticket is invalid, its either u pay 80 pounds or get off..in my mind i said 80 gini...i got off at the next stop mehn..lol...funny experience tho...nway happy thanksgiving to u too hun...and pls reserve some turkey for us ur bloggers...hehehe

HELP!! i am tired of looking at adjusted gross income and deductions and exclusions.. can it be Saturday already?
Happy thanksgiving to you hon. Hope you had a great day!
Ok dont forget your wallet and insurance next time oooo,happy thanksgiving to you too
I like to say "bleep" or "bleeping" when I make a conscious effort. Other times when I'm too lazy to try, I just say it like it is :)
Good thing thanksgiving is only once a year, if not i'll just hurt myself with all the food.
loool. motherchoker jokess
First off: I am a curser. No, I don't let out a barrage everyday of the year but put me in good company with good friends and good conversations - then it's all "did you just see that f***ing @sshole, he just bumped into me without saying sorry. What a sh*thead."
It is liberating. This way you don't hit the m********
:D
Okay Original, you can shoot me now...te he he...
Mehn, I somehow got on the wrong side of the law while boarding a train in Paris. I had my ticket but according to the police, we didn't use it the right way and we were like a group of 6 Nigerians!
They rounded us up and slapped on us some really heavy fines!I felt like a criminal.
I found out that day that ignorance is NO excuse!
hehehe!
