My pet peeves

So I've had major writers block for a little while now. I blame it ALL on those mind numbing judgments Ive had to read for my legal research. Wading through a good 150 odd pages of grammatical errors, hilarious ( or so I'd like to think) observations and classic quotes (more on that later) from our learned judges. It's enough to give anyone nightmares! So Ive been going home late, working at home till bedtime and that makes me VERY cranky and irritable. And impatient.

Which made me think I need to vent all that energy SOMEWHERE. So here is a list of my pet peeves (in no order of preference):

1. people who leave the door to my room open. I mean, you opened it when you came in, WHY oh WHY can you not shut it! I just cannot understand that.

2. People who use their mobiles' loud speaker. "DOH KILO BAINGAN, AIK PAO BHEENDI, AIK KILO PYAAZ AAJ LAY ANA" and "AAJ TUM NAY MUJHE CURRY KAY SAATH PAKORAY NAHIN DIYE" is what I've actually heard at work.

3. Lawyers shouting in the court to make a point. What is this, a bollywood movie?

4. Girls who wear jeans with a kamiz and dupatta. SOMEBODY CALL FASHION POLICE because that is the biggest fashion faux pas there can EVER be. Either you wear the full suit... or kurti (whichever length) with jeans. I ESPECIALLY cannot stand the jeans+kamiz+dupatta combo at work! Makes me want to slap the wax out of their ears I tell you!

5. Nosy people. "Why are your cheeks so red?" Me:Its the inner glow..DUH its blusher!

6. People who make it their business to know exactly what I'm doing on my computer screen. I had this nosy lady almost trip and fall on me because she leaned in so far. Serves her right that I was drafting an affidavit.

7. writers block. brain not registering anything. darn it.

Thanks for coming by on my blog everyone!

Aslam: I agree..as long as the dupatta doesn't make an appearance, Im game.

Great list...totally agree with 4 n 6!
Why are people so nosy in our part of the world?!

So what about you promotion...did you get it?
How was your kids result?
Did you get a proposal for your daughter?
Whose car was parked outside your home last night?
n so it goes on!

I agree! and I cannot figure it out for the LIFE of me.

You know what really gets my goat though? When nosy people get all touchy feely.

"Oh i LOVE what you're wearing" *leans forward to feel the material*

"Earrings kitnay achay hain" *almost YANKS the earring out of the persons ear lobe to take a look*

There is obviously no concept of personal space around here in Desiland, is there.

Hayeen!! You actually heard someone complain about pakoray and curry loudly?!

Did these people have no sense of social desirability?

We have some big characters here at work! My desk is really close to the reception area (our office is kind of as big as a shoe box , so I'm sure you get the drift) and I can hear absolutely everyone! From the two interns bitching not-so-discretely right down to the janitor who sings sad Mukesh and Mohammad Rafi songs (and switches to Naats during the holy months lol). I'm thinking about investing in a pair of ear plugs.. or perhaps a white sound machine!
