There's nothing as maddening as....

- finishing an awesome lunj and then having the stupid saunf stuck between ur teeth which means its another 20 minutes wasted trying to pry it out with a toothpick / ball pen (yeah) / fingers :-p

- having a cubicle mate who will just not stop talking gibberish about his Sai Baba service society and more such crap on a Friday afternoon

- getting sandwiched in between two obese women in a 3 seater in my 8:30 pm shuttle with one fatso chattering away loudly on her cell phone and the other chomping Kurkure continuosly (the smell drives me crazy and hungry, besides she does not even share it)

- paying Rs 250 as registration fees for a crossword event, finishing it in half the time allotted and then finding out that you've made a couple of silly errors and missed the prize by, you guessed it, one point.

- walking down four floors to meet the boss and hearing nothing but Mellu everywhere - from the corridors to the cubicles to finally his office. (aside: if there are so many of them here in my workplace, what about the Gelf ?)

- sending a 28 page SoW through fax thrice - the first time without the crucial initials on each page of the doc, the second time to the wrong number and finally to the right number (35 wasted minutes)

- getting into a lift with 6 people and having to endure two morons who just can't wait to show the rest of us how great their spoken English is (I hate private conversations in lifts...makes me wonder if momma taught these numbskulls manners)

- Jobe having an awesome front 9 where you are 9 under par and then screwing it all up in the 17th hole

(To be continued)

If I get you a box of toothpicks that you can keep just in office do you promise to not use ballpens? Ugh! even imagining the sight petrifies me - how could you?
