Strange Annoyances and Life

I have absolutely no idea about life, no sir, absolutely nothing. But I have every idea one can ever have about what is called an annoyance. Such a simple 9 letter word, and yet covers the entire span of our lives, more than 24 times a day, well averaging above 1 per hour.

You are driving on the road, all of a sudden a gentleman driving peacefully on to your right realizes he will die in a moment if he does not turn left RIGHT NOW. There you go, annoyance hits you.

With time, and as you mature up in life, you learn how to control such petty annoyances from putting you off. Now you would often just smile sarcastically and pass on a crisp but quite remark for the person who just took the left turn you didnt want him to take.

We never really know what life has in store for us; how much we can control our annoyances, and how much would they occur. They seem to come right at us when we expect the least.

For example, an otherwise sweet sounding guy has the unnerving habit of farting every 10 minutes. No no not a nice mute one, a loud bang which would make you feel if the house has been set on a huge vibrator, or if there is an earthquake in the offing. And when you look up, he gives you the sweetest possible smile and says, "It is good for health, you also start doing it" !!!!!!!!. Now how exactly can one adjust to such an annoyance?? Loud music might be a good option, but what if you like soft soul-searching numbers ????

Yet another example, when you feel you know a lot about a particular topic and have really really worked hard, and you are respected for your knowledge, you happen to work with a guy who is such a nerd that if you ask a question you cannot even understand 10% of his response. Wouldn't you feel like digging your own grave right there and ask the same person to cover you in mud? Or maybe dread the day you joined this job, and remember how happy you were feeling respected in the older one. I am happy as long as I am the king (or probably one of the nobles) :-)

Let us agree on this one. We can never have enough of annoyances in our lives, they hit us especially when we think we are a hard nut and can handle any of them. I am more intelligent now since I realize I cannot always win over them. And I am more intelligent now since I know what to do if some unfathomable annoyance hit me. Any guesses ?

Simple, get inside your room, bolt it up, put some music on, eat whatever fatty food you were avoiding since past week, hit the bed, say a loud **** YOU, forget everything and doze off. Mother Ostrich sure does know a lot about life
