Have u come across people who have peculiar, bad or simply disgusting habits? It is said that old habits die hard. Some observations………..
The nose diggers and the ear wiggling experts:
If these people are near you, please be careful when you are shaking hands with them, chances are that you may find a pieces of ear wax, or human bogies on your hands after you shake em. If you do, by chance, get to observe a nose digger or a ear wiggler, just watch his expression when he does this ‘job’…..Theyll appear to be transported into seventh heaven……….. eyes closed, enjoying the blissful feeling of taking their fingers right upto the end and finding the desired piece of …….hahaha!!! Disgusting? Or odd?
The pan chewers:
This is something which is very common in india. Pan chewers will be seen everywhere, even in corporate offices and high level parties. Talking with their mouths full of paan and spitting like theres no end to it. Spitting from windows of buses, spitting from windows of apartments, spitting in the basins and on walls and leaving the red stains. Paan chewing is ok…but I find that spitting is a highly disgusting habit.
Auto-rickshaw drivers:
They always sit on one side of the seat. This is either to give you a view of the road ahead through the windscreen or they simply feel the heat radiating from below their seats. The third possibility is that they are always ready for an emergency bail out!!! Whenever there is danger simply bail out!! Let the passengers take care of themselves!!!
Smoking:
Smoking is injurious to health………..is what is written on cigarette packets. (I find this to be extremely ‘ironical’. But then of course it is the same as a statement which appears on a mutual fund investment form ‘Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks. Please read the offer document carefully before investing’. It is like saying “You can buy it but I wont give you any guarantee, it could be risky”). Smoking is definitely an evil habit. But then smokers don’t care.
Consumption of alcohol:
Alcohol consumers will always celebrate their joys and sorrows with the consumption of their favourite alcohol. A bottle of rum, a pint of beer, a shot of tequila, bottoms-up, quart, khamba are some of the favourite terms of the standard alcohol consumer. There are some people who simply don’t care what kind of drink it is. They just like that high feeling which follows consumption of some minimum quantity of alcohol. This ‘minimum quantity’ is different for different individuals. Some get a kick earlier than 2 large glasses, some don’t even get it beyond a quart. It’s a matter of shame for some drinkers if they consume less alcohol or get a kick earlier than others do. It’s a big thing if you can drive straight after consuming a quart or more of alcohol for some.
Consuming too much alcohol affects the liver. Yeah, that’s right, he stops living!!!
And the list of strange, peculiar, disgusting or bad habits continues……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………to infinity…………………………………………………………..and beyond.
