You are in a place that's no bigger than a doctor's waiting room, it's packed to the door, elbow to elbow, there is a wannabe DJ ditching any single track he can get his hands on as long as it's got bass, doesn't matter if there is no room to dance either way...There are so many smokers and so little ventilation that I feel like Frodo crossing to Mordor in Lord of the Rings...I have just repeated the same sentence for the 5th time with the girl on the bar chair next to me shouting "what?" with a look of despair on her face...I got my hand on an over-iced, under-saturated glass of Margarita and I am supposed to be shaking my head to "the beat of the rhythm of the night"...
now do I need to ask if YKWIH?
I hate people who will call me names like ...old...party-spoiler... Grinch...narrow-minded...and all the sweet little pet-names that they can dish out..simply because their underdeveloped adulthood is still struggling with their over prolonged puberty...
No, I am not interested...and don't call me up next time...and yes I am a grumpy smurf come to life...Deal with it...

Overhead Luggage Compartments
Have you ever been on something I like to call "The Flight from Hell" ?
You probably are already daunting the thought of it...and at the same time quite curious as to what I described as such.
The Flight from Hell is what I took recently on the way back from London. It's an airplane full of families coming home with kids under 10 years of age and with parents so ecstatic they are going home that they forgot that the plane is not their private jet and that the little creatures they brought with them are not cherubim angel.
If you tried to compare the noise level on that plane it would have matched one of the loudest clubbing venues in the world. An earphone headset with full volume could not cover the squeaks of the lovely pair of throats that were seated behind me.
I tried to keep my rational thoughts flowing..after all I do like kids (some) but..but... Do YKWIH?
I hate parents, impolite, careless, carefree, rude parents who no matter how many subtle hints you throw them that they need to keep control of their descendants.
If it had not been for the lovely flight attendant who managed with a smile to dissuade me from proceeding with my plan, I would have relocated all the little surround sound noise generators into the Overhead Luggage Compartments.
I am sure more than one of the passengers on that plane would have asked I would be decorated as a "going home" hero.

Read it...just read it
Yes ...it took me a couple of years to get so fedup again to a point where I had to burst out with another YKWIH ...in spite of all my time constraints which were in the first place what prevented me from writing...
so YKWIH? I hate people who do not read...I don't mean books...coz I am not big on books myself...except techy geeky work related stuff...No, what I mean is the plain obvious instructions that are posted in front of your eyes...
I mean people !! just read it...read the label, read the sign, read the freaking manual but just don't go all blank on me and the blur out a few syllables that sound something like "so...what do I do next?"
I'll tell you what to do..you'll NOT waste my time and invest yours in doing what you were supposed to be doing in the first place...
man..that felt good...now back to the old drawing board...
