The Ultimate ‘Self-Destruct’!

This was perhaps the funniest as I’ve, err, experienced! It was a radio ad, for some Motorola phone. Here’s how it went: Person 1: ‘Yaar zara radio to dikhana!’ Person 2: ‘Aray aray! Yeh radio nahi, phone hai!’ And I began thinking: A phone that looks like a radio? Wow! Yeah, that makes me wanna buy that one! Wierd things continue to happen around me people!

I hate people. Well that’s not entirely true, but I find it easy to hate people because I’m incredibly difficult myself ;) If you’ve known me long enough you should believe me by now on this, but just in case you don’t, let me lay down a list of people I truly, deeply, madly hate ;)

  • People who walk/drive/work/talk/think slow. If nothing else, these people should have the courtesy to die quick ;)
  • People who peep over into your phone/laptop screen. Some people turn away when you tilt the screen slightly away from them – others adjust their angle for ‘maximum viewing pleasure’. The nerves!!
  • People who don’t have table manners. I’m not asking for much here, really. Just keep your mouth closed, don’t make noises, don’t make faces, don’t get food on your knuckles, don’t act like you haven’t eaten in three weeks. Just.. be normal, you know! :P
  • People who make fun of the elderly or people with disabilities.
  • People who take the elevator from the ground floor to the first floor. DAMN! I know people at work who use the elevator to go from the fourth floor to the third! :o
  • People who hate dark chocolate.
  • People who don’t hate Windows :P
  • People who don’t put their phones on silent in mosques or meetings or seminars.
  • People who go “Hello!! Haan!! Bas land karnay wala huun!!” on their phones.
  • People who think that they’re Khuda ka noor. Only I am allowed that amount of smugness ;)
  • People who can’t change their opinions. Dhitai is the most intense turn-off for me!
  • People who just brush their hands across yours instead of shaking them. It’s a bad first impression. Also people who bend to a 45 degree angle to shake your hand. Get a spine!!
  • People with deeni ghuroor.
  • People who don’t know the line between humor and indecency.

This is just off the top of my head, so beware! :P

In other news, I scored 94% on that nerd test that’s been going around. What the hell? How does not being a fan of Seymour Cray count me as a non-nerd? (Am I actually down because I’m not a total nerd? :s) I mean, my hero would be Douglas Engelbart! That guy wasn’t just a genius, he was the creative geek! :D

And I would have ROT-13′d the text if I didn’t have to get back to work (yeah, I was taking the test at work :P )

Oh, and since YouTube is back up here in Abu Dhabi, I’m posting another song ;)

Goo Goo Dolls – Dizzy (lyrics)

PS: All techies go here. This is really exciting! The first real piece of news coming out of the company that practically invented the smartphone industry since it announced Windows-based phones – and I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t much excited about that. Let’s see what kind of apps we see for this new WebOS platform – it has some pretty huge shoes to fill, considering the success and size of the legacy PalmOS Garnets software repository! By the way, I love the gesture bar and the first visually-acceptable slide-out QWERTY ;) Not too crazy about the name though – what kind of a name is Palm Pre?

94% and YOU??!!! Arghh!! Why did I find out that test??!!

BTW.. I loved your post…I was planning a post titled people too, that would have ‘backseat drivers’ on top of my list..people who dont do the work but are always there with their stupid opinions!

and who doesn’t hate Windows?? how can ppl love it?? :D

Lol, Anas, from your shock it’s hard to tell whether you think it’s a high or low score :P You didn’t? Lemme pull it from my history.. here you go!

Koi Reh Gaya kiya?
you should have made a list of people you don’t hate! it would have been much shorter :D

LOL! Abhi to aur bhi log baaqi thay, laikin I was getting tired of gheebat :P
By the way, I also hate people who don’t use proper capitalization! :P Just kidding man, welcome to the blog! :D

I took the test first! Got 88% only. Then the word spread like a jungle fire :D

Palm Pre is interesting. Let me extract some more technical stuff before commenting on it :)

Seriously you hate too many people! hate is a big word!
btw I don’t think I have commented here for the first time

Dude I agree on everyone of em and more! esp the third!!!

I want to punch these nuts right across there faces!!! Did nt their mommy teach them any table manners?! And I hate people who talk while food in there mouth!!!

[...] This cup of tea was served by: I AM The Universe: Random Thoughts [...]

3rd one: I agree. I feel like snatching the plates and their food from them. bhookay log.
The first one is pretty intense dont you think? :P

And, is this post just a trial of not acting nice as one of your previous psots just said?
:P
Just wondering.
:D
:O

You hate me? ;)

Uhh- speechless

Like Saad said, hateis a big word!

And I have to say I absolutely love Goo Goo Dolls- and that song’s just awesome! :D

@Anas: Lol! I still can’t believe we’re talking about who’s the biggest nerd here! :P

@Saad: I know man, but that comment was way back, so let me rephrase – welcome back to the blog :P Yar, hate is, perhaps, too strong a word. But how interesting would it sound “I may slightly dislike people who try to cheat me”? Not much eh? :P Plus I honestly do hate a lot of these people. Like 1 (I wouldn’t want them to die, of course :P ), 3, 4, 10, 11, 13 and 14. I can’t help it man… there’s probably a hate switch in my head that’s really easy to flick on :s

@Saffi: Hahah! Chal at last we agree on something! :P

@Qurrat: Hehe. Well I like to exaggerate a bit ;)

@SAWJ: Without a doubt! :P I think I should add “SAWJ” as the final bullet to that list :P

@siras: Lol! Maybe it is, but hey, I’m irrational and I like it! :P
I know! It IS awesome! I just re-watched City of Angels the other day, and I’ve been listening to this album since! I can’t help singing along to Iris!

Yeah and make it a tag. And make “SAWJ” a compulsory point for it. But don’t tag me. I like me! :P

I just realised I hate people who call in the morning, and on hearing ur sleepy voice say “oh were u sleeping? im sorry i will call u later”

I hate people who don’t let others live their life their own way.

I hate people who just point out all the ‘keeray’ in others.

:P

Come on Absar, you shouldn’t be that “straight forward”. It means that you like no-one in this world.

Show some clemency at your commentators who are so not like you :)

[I'm sure I'd make it to the top of the people you hate] :P

Dude, I gave you City of Angels DVD Long Long time ago!!! Remember? Is that the same DVD? Man I liked that movie, Aaaah Meg Ryan!!!! Adore that girly face! Not so much after the surgeries!

@SAWJ: Lol! Sure man, do the list if you want to! It’d be good to see my name at the bottom of that list :P

@Anas: Why don’t you do the list too man!

@DM: LOL! Ki farq penda hai soniyay! :P I’m sure the friends who comment here don’t like me much either :P

@Safiullah: Hah! Nahi yar, I think I returned your CDs and DVDs before I came here last November? Yar these days we’ve got this movie-exchange program going on at home. Baba shows us movies from the 40s to 60s, and me and Aamanna show him the newer ones! :D To I showed him this movie in exchange for “Woman of a Straw” :D

Nice Dude. Have you seen Gone with the wind and Angels with dirty faces yet? Man Angels with Dirty faces is a beautiful movie… I recommend it, You ll love it!

LOL @ your reply :D And I mean the real LOL :D

Ask them. You know what I think of you :p (my previous comment does say that) LOl :D

@Saffi: Seen Gone With The Wind, but not Angels with Dirty Faces. Will download soon!

@DM: Eh, I’m pretty sure you intensely hate me! :P

Iris is one of my all-time favourites. :D

well quite like minded…
but I ve learnt to let them live at least…
but I’m too bad a critic

i missed this post!! wats wrong with me!?
and i wouldnt want to make a ‘hate’ list…itd be way too long

@KW: Hate lists are cool if I’m a part of them. I like reading them then.

@Absar: Update yours gadhay.

i win. i’m on his hate list for three points.

@siras: Hehe. If you listen to me singing it, I assure you it no longer will be :P

@Afaque: Lol! You are very forgiving ;)

@kw: Oh my list is longer than this. For sure :P Why don’t you do a list of your own?

@SAWJ: Lol! :P Yar that’s understood, I don’t need to put that down in words :P Do your own list! ;)

@Hira: Mmm hmmm, I can see two points. What’s the third one? :P

make it 4. feminists are dheet as well :P

Err- then let’s make sure I don’t hear you singing it- I don’t want to lose it as my favourite. :P

And I quite like your theme especially the DO YOUR WORK. DON’T BE STUPID. bit :P

@Hira: Lol! Yeah I missed feminists in that list! GOD I hate feminists :/

@siras: Lol! Dude, I’m gonna sing no matter what! Its your responsibility not to hear :P Hehe, the full picture was actually my desktop wallpaper at work for a long time :D

Siras is a dude?

@ sawj
dude, you arent part of my hate list which means u wont like it. why dont u do ur list. i think im on yours.

@ absar
i will do mine soon enough…and ill write down names :P and update urs, we are looking forward to the complete list

why are you on SAWJ’s list?
and why is SAWJ not on yours?

i was getting smugger with each passing bullet…but then i stumbled upon the last one…
Joy IS short-lived

@KW: You know you’re not! ;)

You are indeed quite aqalmand :P

@ Hira
lol, why would he be on my list! as for me, i can be on anyone’s hate list

@ SAWJ
oh well…yea i know :)

@SAWJ: LOL! Us se hi puucho bhaee!

@kw: Lol! Mein naam na hi likhuun to acha hai.. that would only make the list longer :P

@Pinky: *psst* I hate me a little bit too ;)

@DM: Bas ji, aap se kuch dino duur rehne ka asar hai! :P

not that you care, but i HATE ppl who ignore me

Uh, and I have a thing against people who can’t read! :P Okay that’s not entirely true, but I just had to say something with “hate” in it :P Wait.. that didn’t have hate in it…. :s

hahaha.. but that line was NOT there before…U have edited it, hai na?…

SAWJ dude, you were quite bored, weren’t you? :P
Absar dude, he’s asking because you said dude in your comment! :P
And both you dudes already know that I’m not a dude, at least not literally, so stop making pointless conversation. :P

@Pinky: Lol! Okay you caught me red handed! :P I DID edit it, but before your second comment. Mujhe lag raha tha ke kuch miss kar raha huun mein! :P Sorry about that :)

@siras: Hey, I wasn’t making that conversation anyway, babe! ;)

@siras: Okay du…uh…babe.

like i said i am good at surveillance :D ..don’t let me catch u again,if you know whats good for you *menacingly*

*shudders*

Interesting:P There’re few kinds of people which turns me off as well!:)

And what do you mean by people who do not hate Windows?:D What do you use? Linux (Fedora or Redhat?)?

And I’ve not heard this song and currently, because of few reasons I can’t right now. But I’ve been addicted to Without you here by Goo Goo Dolls lately.. So I’ll listen it also once I get to.

I’d be much more flattered at ‘funny’ :P

And I’m a proud Mac user! :D *broadens chest* :P

Lol:)

That wasn’t funny:) Few points did seem hilarious but few really do irritate me as well. And no wonder, indirectly it was a mirror for everyone to look and judge themselves on these parameters to realize whether they’re doing something irritable or not!:P

That’s my strength. I don’t just teach, I involve :P Okay enough smugness :P
