The way I see- Arrogance!!

Arrogance is a killer.  It makes you a serf of your ego, a helot of your own destruction .It makes you a curmudgeon. When it starts running in your veins, you start to rancor about things you once cherished. Now, how do you know you are arrogant? If your behavior seems supercilious, your tone patronizing, your attitude wily,your smile scornful and  logic gibberish; then you are a termagant(lady!) . And, if you let the fetus of it grow inside you for  some time, opprobrium, obloquy will become your fetish , you will no longer believe in the concept of forgiving, exonerating people .You will find rejoicement in denuding, flouting others , you won't hesitate putting someone in pillory. So, in a nut shell, arrogance is a bullet whose trigger is pointed at yourself, a tool to bloat your ego, an aid which make you earn a bad (read presumptuous) name , a medicine which makes you allergic to humility.

Different people, different logistics!!

I am not a good customer ,I know that  and why should I be the timid, polite consumer who never questions anything , simply ask for a product , get it and go home happily,satisfied. I am of a different breed I like to keep track of my every penny , I will be satisfied only when i know i have spent it on the right person (wink! wink!)or right thing. After all money is important and saving is earning. And by law, I have the right to look at things, question it , get satisfied to the inner core and still  have a choice to not buy it . 

There have been times when I merely landed in the trolls situations , yes ,yes I am talking about the same troll meme pages which you see on face book .

 I will start with fruit sellers. Trust me , they hate me more than we hate our elected leaders.No, I am not exaggerating , Still, you don't believe it ?

Ok, I will tell you some incidents 

It was May, Mango season (Pardon me, if I already made you feel salivating) .I had a peculiar habit of smelling the mango before purchasing it .I know it does sound weird but try this one , try it,smell mango and if the smell of the succulent impinges on your olfactory sense profoundly, add in your cart or otherwise go to another cart. What happened was , I went to the fruit seller cart , while I was doing my ritual , he retorted :"what are you doing madam ,you are spoiling my mangoes, don't touch it !" As if my mere touch will diffuse it or change the chemical composition of it . I call it Troll 1.

Next: Troll 2

I went to another cart ,while I was doing my normal picking up, he cried and questioned my existence as a human being , he retaliated:"Madame, insaan thodi naa sunghate hain " . trolled again!!

Next :Troll 3

I went to purchase rubber bands (not hair rubber hands), normal bands that we use  in everyday . He showed me a packet of 35-40 bands.I asked for the price: he replied 100 . I , very politely gave all the blame to my damn ears and eventually that turned out to be a scapegoat , I asked him to repeat again the price 

le He:100

la me:Are you kidding me? 35 bands-100 Rs. Kuch bhi!!

le He:Madam, look at MRP. We have to sell at MRP only by law.

la me: MRP is maximum retail price, you cannot exceed the price after that but you can always give things below it .(I cursed myself for bringing this statement)

le He: Arey, you don't know the law and order .We have to give at MRP otherwise there will be consequences. 

*trolled* I was more upset by the fact that Do I look like some cretin or what that people give me these lame statements?

Troll 4:

I went to purchase Amul Tazaa tetra pack milk from a super market.And the (epic) conversation went like:

He: You have to buy the entire carton . I won;t sell loose . If we sell the whole carton we get 5Rs.

me: Bhaiya , if you earn 10 paise on one , at the end of the day , you will earn 5 Rs. The difference is you earn in installments . 

 He: No, I cannot afford to make a loss n this.

 Me: There are so many students in this locality who won't be having loss.

He:I am in business for 25 years that is not even your age. You don't even know what business.

Sure, I don't even know an iota of Business but aren't we talking about rationality here?

Troll 5:

I went with a friend to a near by Bakery shop to have a sandwich.

 Me:Why don't you start selling your sandwich in our college ?

He:Ask your college canteen people to come and contact me .

(I re looked at the shoppe and there were just  two of us as customer)

He: I am a very busy man.

Yeah , right!! He must be very busy in ignoring his business opportunities. busy world ,I tell you.

Troll 6:

Scene :Mobile shop.While showcasing   some handsets, I enquired about some technical classification.

 Me: How is the blue tooth in this one ?

 He: This is newest version.

 Me: Which blue tooth version?

He: The newest one !!

Me:Version?

He:Bluetooth is the best in this one . I use this phone and it transfers data quickly.

Me: v2.0 or v3.0?

He :both!!

 I am very sure  in every of these incidents logic and common sense must have cried on each other's shoulders , realising how under utilized they are?!

I will not go to more cynical mode , already it is an overdose. Neither will I go preachy , I will end it up here so that it can just be called an anecdote.
