It Wasn't Easy With Her

Hello, my Naija people. This is another week for another prompt.

When I saw the prompt for this week's pet peeves, it made me remember many things I would have loved to share, but out of all, I will be sharing this one with my fellow Hive Naija people.

Have you ever been in a place where you heard different tones when people sleep?

My pet peeve is when I'm sleeping and the person sleeping beside me is snoring.

People have different reasons for snoring. Some snore as a result of tiredness, some are born to always snore, some inherit it, and some are gifted with snoring. 😜😜

I always get pissed off whenever someone snores beside me.

Some people believe it's only fat people that snore but I have seen a slim person (lepacious as we call it here) who snores like a pig and I have experienced a fat person who snores like a roaring lion.

I had a friend whose name was Seyi.
We both shared the same room in my sister's 3-bedroom flat apartment.

The first time I noticed that she snored was one afternoon.

I went for a vigil the first time Seyi spent a night in the house.
It was a Friday vigil and I came back Saturday morning around 5 am. I was very tired and I felt sleepy yet I did some house chores like sweeping, washing the dishes, and doing some laundry. It was already 10 am before I was able to finish my house chores.

Are you wondering why I did all that?

I did all my house chores because I don't like disturbance whenever I am sleeping. I know if I don't do the chores before sleeping I will be disturbed.

I was fast asleep when I began to hear some strange sounds and tones in the room, it was so serious that I couldn't ignore it despite my tiredness. I had to wake up and check where the sound was coming from.

I was shocked to see Seyi sleeping close to me on the bed and she was snoring while sleeping and enjoying her sleep. I was annoyed though, but there was nothing I could do.
I tried waking her severally to position herself well and after several waking and adjustment, she was able to get the right sleeping position and the snoring stopped. I was able to get back to sleep and I finally woke up around 5 pm.

I felt a little disturbed that day but I later enjoyed my sleep for the rest hours that she stopped snoring.

Little did I know that Seyi was a learner compared to Funke when it comes to snoring.

Funke is a plumpy girl, though but I don't believe that all plumpy people must snore.

Her snoring has all the singing parts and intonations. The night she slept over at our house, I couldn't sleep in the room. I had to run to the parlor and sleep on the couch.

I love sleeping early because most times, I wake up at midnight. I was the first to go to bed that day. Seyi and Funke came into the room later and they both slept on the bed with me.
The strange sound began and this time the sound was horrible and scary. I woke up and also woke them to change their sleeping position.

The most annoying part is when Seyi raises the tone, Funke will take it higher.

I got tired of waking them up, so I left the room for Parlor.
When Seyi woke up the next morning and discovered I slept on the couch in the parlor, she came to me to apologize that she was the cause.

In a friendly and soft manner, I told her that I would never allow her friend to sleep over at our house. She reasoned with me and we both agreed on that.

I and Seyi lived together for years and I was able to manage her snoring habit.

Here is my response to this week's prompt pet peeves
