Tag 1

SS tagged me some days ago, and my first thought was 'hey this one is easy'. I soon realized however that it was anything but.
Not making it any simpler was the fact that her own post on this topic - seemed so sensible, balanced and... a tough act to follow. :(
So i dallied for as long as could, knowing perfectly well that ultimately i had to put down my own list sooner or later. Now that it's been a while, and her own post is nicely buried under her more recent ones, here i reveal mine.
I judge harshly...
  • Men who wear their MCP-ness proudly on their sleeve
  • Women who bitch about their husbands on the slightest provocation
  • People who give alms to beggars, but haggle with an honest vendor for a 10-rupee item
  • Women (anyone, but somehow it is almost always women...) who pretent to not know/ understand Hindi (or anything other than English), after having lived in India all their lives
  • Men who don't buy presents for their wives/ girlfriends or don't take them out
  • Women who let their bum-crack show, deliberately
  • Parents who don't change with the times, don't treat their kids as adults (when they are pretty adult), and force their own views/ disciplines on them
  • Pest guests
  • People with such poor fitness levels that getting wet in the rain gets them down with a cold, walking 4 miles makes their legs hurt for 3 days and who can't imagine eating ice-gola from a vendor at Juhu beach without following it up with half a bottle of Gelusil. Unless they have a medical problem of some kind that makes them weak
  • Women who keep going back to cheating or abusive partners
  • People who discourage you from your dreams, try to instill fear of the unknown, remind you of the dangers, and ridicule your enthusiasm, hate your guts
  • Myself. More than anyone or anything else in the world

Gosh this was hard. I know i judge people all the time and put them in envelopes, but i guess i've never really given a serious thought to what ticks me off.

Anyway, this list of course assumes that there are some people that are universally abhored ,and judges harshly by everyone else.

Like liars, people who spread false rumors about people, hypocrites, unreliable or unhelpful/ selfish people, ass-lickers, manipulting/ political corporate types, spineless people and so on.

And somehow writing all this down and then reading it, makes me feel so juvenile. Child-woman and all that is cool, but sounding so immature is so not!

But hey, don't judge me on this... :)

3,7,10 are harsh indeed. i dont know anyone who does 3 actually - seems like an aberration. 7 hmm. ive grown to understand that parents are like bosses who are related to you by blood. they arent gonna let you have independance unless you take it from them and when you do you'll find that they'll come to terms with it. and 10 - i wouldn't be hard on these women. its easier said than done to get out of such a tricky situation although it seems the logical thing to do. but sometimes the most logical and practical thing to do is also the hardest. loneliness can be a horrid thing.

i second all the others.
