The wannabes and whatnots

Probably the last thing a blogger should write about is people with opinions, worse still, people with opinions that they foist on others. Er. helloo... YOU are writing a blog..YOU are foisting your opinion on the entire world.. well at least those who come and read your blog that is.


In any case.. I will commit this grave error and write about how I hate people who have an opinion on everything from the perfect color of one's hair to the brand of underwear one should be wearing. Also in parallel, I want to take out my ire on people who pretend to be what they are not and hence become wannabes from being someone. Lost it? well these 2 categories more or less overlap each other as you can see from the diagram below (I have learnt that diagrams make any statement 10 times more impressive and believable, so in case you were not getting the point, its true because of the diagram)


The problem with this species, henceforth referred to as "insufferables" is that either they know too much of what they want and want others to want exactly that OR they really don't know anything and just try to ape what's the latest buzz. There are people who are cool and then there are the insufferables who want to be cool.

Have I said too much? Well I will leave you to mull over this while I give you some scenarios where you find these people (Warning: THEY ARE EVERYWHERE). Someone who makes a big fuss while ordering wine in a shady establishment, people who debate about the coolest music and change their opinion as soon as the music critics do, people who debate on the right/wrong of gay rights and refuse to acknowledge the individuality of the argument, people who pretend to know more than they actually do, people who come back from ONE foreign trip with an accent, people who get the accent in 10 days of the trip and refuse to let it go after 10 years. I can possibly fill pages with these examples but I am assuming your patience is at an end.

Have you met one of these? Share your story and let's have a chuckle together :)

HaHa !Loved the post.Especially the part with people returning from ONE foreign trip with an accent.Encounter so many of them every day here.

That somehow reminds me of Mr Kohli,who was professor of computers at my institute (which is arguably UP's best govt. engg college). Russia returned and our hostel warden; he walks into one of the hostel room with some movie playing on computer;hits on the eject button of CD drive and the drive pops up; having found no CD in there he stood completely dumbfounded and quips - Is this some software ... How come movie is running without CD ... And we just didnt know how to react to this. Its notable he went on to become HOD Computers.
Such people keep life spiced up through such nuisances ...
