Don't listen to the crowd



We have all heard quotes like "stand out","be different","don't follow the crowd" and so many others but I guess this should be different "don't listen to the crowd" they say a lot of jargons.
I will use my experience at the filling station to illustrate my point, I was on a quest to get fuel (yes oh Na quest), I woke up early, enough, Wednesday morning 6am did my daily things, pray,eat,exercise, dropped my sister off at work not knowing I would spend the next 10 hours of my life queuing. 
"This queue doesn't seem to be too long, let me join" (note the time is 8:30am) seems like I will leave this place in like 30 minutes, the line seems to be moving.

4 hours later (12:30pm)
This line is really moving "are they selling fuel"?? "Yes, but no go fit get" this guys are jokers, so many people were coming back(those that packed their cars, tracked to see the current phenomenon) "excuse ,e are they selling furl"?? "Yes but you won't get" 

7 hours later (3:30pm
It is now I realize that the line that was moving was because of people who were frustrated and left the line, everybody shouting you can't get fuel here. Believe me, at this point I had heard a lot of jargons about different complains from people and a summary of what was mostly said = jargons. Different talks about Nigerias history, government and most of what were said, were said out of ignorance and frustration any attempt to draw a conclusion from those conversations will result in absolute failure.

10 hours later (6:30pm
I think they are right, you can't get fuel here and off I zoom to my house, hope the little fuel in this car won't finish before I get home. 

Goodnews 
In less than an hour the next day I got fuel, don't ask me how, and yeah at the normal price #87. 

DON'T BE THAT GUY/GIRL IN RHE CROWD, BE DIFFERENT
