Breaking the suspense plot of a movie/book to friends who have nt seen/read it yet.
Hanging out at an expensive mall just to check out what the high-heeled ladies shop for and how much they blow out on a day's shopping.
Winning in raffle, bingo and the likes and getting a better prize than a friend/colleague.
Asking too many nagging questions to friends when they are engrossed in another activity.
Driving 5mph below the speed limit especially in a one lane road and checking out the driver behind's reaction.
When friends sympathize with a 'been there done that' during sodappal recipes, awful hair cuts and the likes.
Discovering people who blog/comment anonymously.
Do you have any?
Seeing what my neighbor got in the math exam and elated to find he has scored 2 marks less!
ReplyDeleteHiding my sister's school bag minutes before her school van came!
I wouldnt care about anything told to me, unless it is tagged with 'confidential/secret'...then I just cant hold it to myself without letting it out!
ReplyDeleteWhen your friend knows that you already wrote a script that hez searching for months!...alright that's a geeky 'alpa santosham'...but definitely worth it:P

ReplyDeleteYou write pretty general (meaning - not comment worthy) stuff... and get so many comments. Damn!
ReplyDeleteMost of the comments are from guys. Aah! No wonder!
lol. Alpa sandoshams. I like the title.
ReplyDelete1. Rattling the key in a filled parking lot standing next to someone else's car and looking at the other brightly lit faces that think I am about to free up a spot.
2. Poking the tummy of fat people.
3. In the middle of a serious discussion, saying something funny and stupid but in a serious way. Like when I am offered a drink,
"Them: Have a drink.
Me: ohh no thanks, I quit. I was an alcoholic.
Them: omg. How did it happen?
Me: ohh well my GF sorta eloped with someone... so the rest as they say is history..."
The look on their faces. Priceless! :D
wrt 5: I am quite sure you got it all wrong there. They are probably sympathizing at your inability to drive fast. :PP
wrt 6: Ok lets get this right. Most people do not sodapify recipes on a regular or rather everyday basis. :PP
Hahahhaa.... ossum! And the ones being added are just as priceless! :D
