How can some people be so irritating??? People just get onto your nerves sometimes! And what can you do about it? Nothing! Just because you want to avoid the emotional outbursts afterward, or because you have to spend the rest of college/ work together - or simply, because that person valuates your exam papers. You can't even tear your hair out (I fear growing permanently bald) . Probably the best idea would be to take a chill - pill, but how many times and for how long?? The first stage, you may be patient, close your eyes, and forget it after 10 minutes; the second, your blood begins to boil and you wish you could record the scene for MTV's One Tight Slap; third, you start feeling you are above it all and take it as a test of your tolerance levels, the fourth (thats as far as I've gone) is when you are confused and tell yourself that you are still in the third stage, but actually slip down to the second. All because you have no other option but to stand the person patiently, for reasons mentioned above. But what is the point of it all? Why do people want to be someone they're not? Popularity? Sympathy? WHAT?? The problem with pretense, is that, no one knows where to stop. People begin to go overboard in being "sweet" (or "tough", whatever). And the worst part is, people think YOU are the mean, emotionless brat. Is everyone blind? Seriously, its tolerable to some extent if the person is a contemporary, but profs are absolutely the limit. Sometimes i wish i could stand up in class and scream "WTF?" (and a lot more than that). And when he pointedly throws lame comments, I wish I could turn into Krissh atleast (in the interest of humility) and show him how i really feel about him. I wouldn't feel half as agitated if the persons who really matter share my convulsions. But no. If that happened I wouldn't probably be writing this in the first place. Mom always says, "Don't find so many faults with everyone, they probably think the same about you." Why doesn't anyone understand??
And then there's the category that thinks half the male population is dying to get a glimpse of their fingernail. The others get to listen to endless stories about how this guy makes passes, and that guy does something else and what not; when actually no one turns a hair. And no one appreciates them, because they're all so jealous. Hmph! The 3 odd hours I spend in college I have my brain eaten out by stuff like this. Aishwarya Rai would probably make a run for her money if these people entered bollywood/ hollywood. WTF?? Does no one believe in mirrors? And the guys too.. the slightest attempt by these at juvenility would make them go "so sweet/cute!" Ugghhh! Boys are really the limit sometimes! And amidst all this I get to do nothing but stand and watch. And probably gnash my teeth("Gngngngngngngn" as my buddy puts it)
Heck, the world is going to stay just as it is. Probably we should be the ones with a change in attitude, which advocates more tolerance towards other fellow beings. Or rather, deal with it with subtlety (which dexterity, of course, many of us are not fortunate enough to posses). For my part, I would dearly love to show the full wrath of my sarcasm. Lets just leave it at that. Life just goes on I guess.
