1 to 10 of my Emotional Atyachaars
- Being an ardent animal lover, an everyday sight on the streets, which I completely despise is people scaring stray dogs away by throwing items at the poor stray just looking for some food even if it might be the waste on your plate
- Drivers not stopping for animals to cross the road. I feel there are very few occasions that one comes across an animal in the middle of the road, and I believe, if you just slow down a little, they will happily skip across to safety
Now after the animal bit... - I am quite finicky about people wasting water.. while washing dishes, having a shower, or when they simply do not close the tap properly
- In my kitchen, usually you will not see things lying about. Most of them are in their places. When someone uses my kitchen, I just expect it to be left the same way, and when it doesn't happen... X(
- I get thoroughly irked in an official setting, when people are not understanding to others' feelings and personal commitments
- Will never understand and want nothing to do with those who think that what a woman wears has anything to do with how anyone should behave with her
Okie... now I got to admit, I am finding it a little difficult to go beyond this.. but these are some things which have happened in the past and I do know that I become extremely uncomfortable in these situations - I feel really sad when grown up children speak rudely to their parents
- I get completely frustrated when someone remains silent after taking offence to something which I have (not) said/done
- I grit my teeth and clench my fists at road side romeos and their cuckoo whistling and loud laughter
- I never seem to understand those parents who sit on the pavement and make their kids perform at the traffic signal to earn the family bread... and I never give any coins here either. I think you should be dignified enough to move your a** and earn your living.. by doing whatever you can
Aathira, Agree with almost all points and 6, 8,9, 10 gets my goat too.
ReplyDeleteNice ones and a very interesting tag. Will let you know if I take it up.

I feel equally strongly about the animal bit Aathira!!
ReplyDeleteSaving water and even electricity is something I have drilled into my kids' heads!!
Number 6 about how women dress...gosh this one makes me mad. And worst is when we hear women supporting such myths!!
About parents making their children perform on the roads, I ignore them, but when I see kids alone on the roadsides, if I feel really bad, I catch a child and feed her, a banana, or a samosa or a vada-pao, right there in front of my eyes.
No money and no feeding any adults ever.
This tag shows that you are not a very angry person :)
what's atyachaars? like pet peeves? 5, 6, 8 and 9 spoke to me. i don't like to admit it but i do no. 7 occasionally... it's something i find difficult not to do after a stressed day at work and i'm not sure how to go about it.
ReplyDeleteI hate mess, I hate people who ask you "So, which state are you from?" and after a suitable pause "Father's name?" trying to slot you.
ReplyDeleteOh there are too many
