That is irritating!!!!!

1) You are waiting for the lift in your office, and along with you 15 more people are waiting, and there comes a girl, no she is not new to the building, she stands in the front row and as soon as the lift comes climbs on to it. What the heck, is she the only person in a hurry, and if yes then there is something called manners, she can atleast tell that she is in a hurry to the rest of the 16 fools standing and waiting for the lift!

2) You are standing on the right side of a red light and waiting for the light to become green so that you can take a "right turn" but then a yellow number plate "cab" comes from the left and plans to take a right turn, blocks all the traffic that is supposed to go straight, and it turn ends up blocking the traffic that was waiting for the right turn since a long time.

3) Waiting for the auto, finally it comes and you ask him "bhaiya xyz chaloge" he slows down and then just moves ahead, he can have the courtesy of saying atleast a "No"

4) The city buses which stops just after crossing the red light.

5) The cab drivers who doesn't respect the pedestrians, and in the morning and late nights the runners(since I am a runner, I have been nearly ran over by these "yellow" number plated vehicles a number of times!)

6) Somebody asking you "why do you run!" or this one is better how many more KGs do you want to lose (another comment on running)

7) Bangalore: It pours whenever you are planning to leave office, and you end up thinking all clothes wet.....what am I gonna wear to office tomorrow!

8) None of the auto fellows and the city buses listen to the police walah (pronounced as "Thulla"), and he takes out all his frustration and asks you to empty your wallet if he catches you! ;-)

9) Mondays!

10) The weird music people get fitted in their car and it suddenly starts playing when the car is in reverse gear, this really gets difficult if anybody is trying to do so late in the night.

11) the John Abraham (of Dhoom fame) bran of bikers, who get weird silencers put in their bikes.

12) The Yamaha RX100 breed of bikers who thinks that their bike is actually a dirt bike!

These were some of my thoughts, do drop in what irritates you the most in comments!!

And about people without manners, it's time we put 'manners' on the endangered thingie list. :-(

@Priya
Thanx for visiting White Light, hope you visit this place again ;-)

Never mind however I found your blog interesting, and would be regular now :-P

Yeah its high time that people learn some basic manners!

and as far as point 9, and the autowalahs are concerned, nothing can be done about them!

Hey there, Fellow ultramarathoner. Are u also on the RFL mailing list? What distance do u plan to do in the UM?

I run in GKVK. Its a biiiig place(i.e. enough lone distances for running) witrh few ppl to ask too many things. So i dont have too many cribs. In fact i feel proud that i dont have to worry abt any of the things u have mentioned in ur 'irritating' list. (except the occasional rickshaw issues). I usually walk/cycle to my workplace. No panga with the "thullas" either cos of the same reason. I have exciting enough work to not hate mondays. In fact i even work happily on sundays, once in a while, and also nights to add to it. Abt the manners issues, i have adapted not to expecting manners from anyone....

Hope to c u in some training run, or at least the UM
