On a scale of 1 -10, I would consider myself score maybe 8, if you ask me how patient I am. Maybe bordering on to 9 if you take the subset of the Indian population. Thankfully,over the past 3 decades I have learnt to control my once fiery temper and fidgety mind to what I would now label serene, calm, somewhat still-irritable-but-stable and a little laid back.
However certain things in life, however silly they may sound, still do tick me off like-
1. Mosquitoes (especially those which start buzzing after u turned off the lights)
2. Child labour and unwarranted beating of children
3. Indians never able to queue for anything
4. Auto drivers cramping the roads trying to overtake other vehicles when it least matters
5. People lighting a cigarette in my house without taking prior permission
6. The sight of all Indian passengers rising up from their seats as soon as the plane touch down ( is it too much for them to comprehend that we all will be waiting together for luggage to arrive anyway)
7. Cruelty to animals
8. Those who treat the whole world as a big dustbin
9. The ever increasing cost of chicken biryani (or the shrinking serving portion)
10. People who think that elevator buttons have a “hurry” sensor which responds to excessive and rapid pressing
Hey I’m not that gloomy or “recess”-ed. Many things do make me happy as I have already posted and will do again. Til then, happy thanksgiving!

I swing from uber patient to extremely irritable, but one thing that really brings down my patience is impatient people. Ironic, isnt it?
@aduhi - u took the words right from my cat-gotten tongue. Impatient people do test my patience. I feel like screaming at them
"Why cant u be as patient as me?"
Exactly what I had in mind while i was writing this up

Your peeve list mosly agrees with mine,excepting no 6. In Mumbai, we get up long before the bus or train reaches the stop for fear of losing a few minutes and getting late.
Vawinah vaimim rawh ka ei a, dustbin ka hmu mai si lova, ka hnungah ka paih tawp a. A hnuah kan piah lawkah dustbin ka hmu leh sia, ka thu deuh vang2 a, ka inthiam thei thlawt lova, ka zuk chhar a, ka va paih leh. I post point 8 hi ka hrechhuak zawk.hehe
@mesjay - pet peeves indeed! Places like Mumbai, I do agree u have to be advanced....on a plane - no excuse, like a said, the devil inside me wud wish for the plane to give a jolt knocking all the early risers down
@mimi - civic sense - Fail! re-exam - Pass! seriously, nowadays I wud not litter the railway tracks anymore. I wud keep all my wastes in a plastic bag and dispose it at the next stop....few passengers would be giving me bewildered looks as i carefully packed my leftovers in a plastic bag and kept in in one corner
Yeah me too. I will never understand why our fellow countrymen RUSH to the door as soon as the flight lands!!! lolz.

"People who think that elevator buttons have a “hurry” sensor which responds to excessive and rapid pressing.." I feel you, man.
"People who simply HAVE to take the elevator from the ground floor to the first when there are others going to the top floor, even though the stairs are located next to it" comes under the same category.
And people who treat public property like a huge garbage dump, yet would fervently expect you to remove footwear inside their house/shops.. I have a long list too, mostly because I would rate myself 2.5 on your Patient-ometer. :D
