Do suh, nah like suh!
(Kaieteur News) – Yuh ever notice how when people driving and dem miss dem turn, suddenly every lil bridge in de country become public property? Is either dem backing in like dem parking fuh night, or dem swinging in and reversing out like dem auditioning fuh some driving school video.
Dem boys seh, every driver know de routine. Yuh reach, yuh ease in, yuh back out, and yuh gone ‘bout yuh business. Simple. No big science. No PhD in turning required.
But leh me tell yuh—de minute yuh use some people bridge fuh turn, is like yuh commit high treason. Next thing yuh see: big brick plant down like dem building seawall extension. Chain stretch cross de entrance like dem guarding Fort Knox. One man nearly put up sign: “Turn here and face consequences!”
Dem boys seh is funny how dem same people does jump in dem car and use everybody else bridge like dem inherit de whole street. Dem ain’t see no chain when dem doing dem own three-point turn. Hypocrisy got more mileage than dem car!
Some of dem does come out shouting too, like yuh just thief dem electricity. “Eh eh! Don’t use me bridge!”—but if you watch dem later, dem reversing pon Miss Sheila bridge next door like dem practising choreography.
Guyana got a special breed of people: dem nah want yuh use dem thing, but dem feel entitled fuh use yours. Dem boys seh if selfishness was petrol, half de country woulda never run outta gas.
But hear de best one yet—one fella claim people wah turn on he bridge does intimidate he. Intimidate! Dem boys nearly choke pon dem tea. Is a bridge, not a crime scene!
Dem boys she, how he know dem people turning late at night? He watching through de window like night watchman—or he doing surveillance shift in he pyjamas? One man seh maybe he got “Bridge CCTV”… which really mean he curtain slightly open and he eye doing overtime!
Now dat remind dem boys of one driver reversing a big truck up a narrow hill. Lil boy see dis and ask, “Boss, why yuh nah drive forward?”
Driver seh, “Track narrow. If I can’t turn up deh, I gon be stuck.”
Lil boy nod like he just learn physics.
Few minutes pass, and de same truck coming back down… in reverse again! Lil boy confuse now.
“Wha happen, boss?” he ask.
Driver seh, “I find a place fuh turn.”
Talk half. Leff half.
