Stop Peeping Into My Phone.

I am a gentle man so I don't like to fight or Corel with people, I love to maintain peace but violence is indeed an option for some people because believe me or not there are people who need it a lot. The other day I was on my way to deliver a package in my aunt's house so I boarded a taxi to her place which is very far from our house. On my way to her place I encountered different kinds of people in the vehicle, those that their mouths will never want to remain silent in the vehicle and those that will never say a word if you don't tell them a word. I often times use to watch reels and other comedy videos to keep myself healthy but that day was totally different for me, maybe because I was expecting a call from someone special and haven't got the call or maybe the errand? I really don't know what happened that day thou.
Some miles away from my home I got a message alert from my phone and when I brought the phone out to check who inboxed me and what the message was all about, the passenger seating right beside me was peeping through my phone as if the message was sent for me and him. I was wondering what type of behavior is that and why would someone be so eager to read your message with you. I didn't pick it to heart at the moment so I turned away from him and read the message then I got relieved.
I decided to on my data and log into my WhatsApp to check out some messages and newly uploaded status and while I was doing that, I noticed this same human being put all his attention on my phone again. I don't really know how you guys take that but I find it so weird for somebody to act too many times like this to me in the vehicle, beside there wasn't a sign that my phone is calling his name. I was pissed up already but as the gentle man I was, I didn't react anyhow, I finish going through my phone and decided to keep back the phone in my pocket. I was just wondering what type of life is this that I cannot operate my own phone in privacy again, like this man has been acting as if we joined money together with him and bought the phone.
The taxi was approaching my destination already so I taught of what to do or tell this man so he should know what he did wasn't the right thing and very improper of him, then this little idea poped up in my mind.
I decided to remove my phone again knowing fully well that he will want to peep inside my phone again. This time around I went straight to watch my short comedy videos because I was looking for what will drag the man's attention more quickly to my phone. I started laughing and when the man peeped into my phone I immediately switched on the front camera and was snapping him and me, I snapped almost five times I noticed the strange coldness in the man's body but that was the goal actually. When I dropped finally I still turned on the camera before dropping off the vehicle but this time around it's on the back camera and I still pointed the camera at him and snapped him like three times again before the vehicle left. I didn't have to insult the man or talk to him to know that what he was doing wasn't right, action speaks louder than voice, beside he wanted to be part and parcel of my phone馃槉.
That act was uncalled for and I assume that a normal person should know that phones are personal devices and beside people's privacy should be respected but since we felt like using the phone together, I didn't hesitate.
Hope you will help someone to use your phone with you from now hence forth馃榾
