“Yesterday, I texted our gateman to come and collect his Easter rice. I told him to come with his plate because I had run out of takeaway packs.
But he replied, “Don’t worry ma.”
I was a bit surprised because this is something I always do during festive periods. The only difference this time was the plate.
I didn’t think much of it…
Until my neighbour called me later and said the gateman reported me.
He said I disrespected him, how can I ask a married man to bring a plate like a beggar just to collect food?
I’m honestly still in sh0ck.
It was never that deep for me… I was just trying to share what I had.
But I guess sometimes, what feels like kindness to one person… can feel like disrespect to another.
Did I actually do something wrong?”
A lady narrated an incident involving her gateman after asking him to come and collect Easter rice with his own plate because there were no takeaway packs left.
