A Nigerian man has taken to social media to narrate a rather bizarre and unsettling experience he had while in a relationship with a woman who worked as a banker, claiming that he once caught her saying strange things in her sleep.
The young man made this revelation through a post shared on his personal page via the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where he gave a detailed account of the eerie moment that left him confused and slightly alarmed.
According to the man, while they were both sleeping peacefully one night, he was abruptly woken by some odd, murmuring sounds. Out of curiosity and concern, he decided to open his eyes to figure out what was happening.
To his utter shock, his girlfriend, who was sound asleep beside him, was clearly uttering the words, “Next customer,” as though she were still at work attending to clients at the bank.
The man wrote in his post: “I once dated a banker and one night we were asleep, only for me to start hearing strange sounds from her sleep. I had to open my eyes to know what was going on. This babe was legit saying ‘Next customer’ while sleeping. Didn’t know if I should be scared or calm.”
His peculiar story immediately gained traction on social media, sparking a flood of hilarious and diverse reactions from X users who filled the comment section with their own takes, jokes, and similar experiences.
