5 Things you should never do in public





There are times in your life when you could actually commit a murder. Some people go out of their way to rub you the wrong way or sometimes they manage to do it just by being themselves.

Here are a few of them.

1) Spitting in Public :

There are actually 3 types of Spitters

a) Casual Spitter : This one cares about no one and just spits because of habit and just because he wants his mouth to work for no reason. He will keep spitting the whole day regardless of the necessity of doing so. They are harmless in a sense.

b) Experienced Spitter(ES) :  These are the ones who eat paan, Paan Masala which gives them an opportunity to colour the world. Especially so, when they are travelling in India by a bus and an innocent bystander gets a nice dollop of their colourful spit on his clothes and gets coloured regardless of whether its Holi or not. 

He is actually like a painter in his own regard and the walls, the road and people's clothes are like a blank canvas to him, itching him to colour them Red and with what precise aim. They are practised spitters and will do so whenever they have an opportunity to display their hidden talents.

c) Specialist Spitter : Their technique is to reach out into the depths of their being and make a lot of efforts to bring out a gob of Phlegm (Wyack). They take intense pleasure in making noises (akin to a car engine when its refusing to start) and out comes a chunk of green which they spit out.

2) Urinating in Public : I can understand that nature calls have hit most of us at odd times and odd places, but there is something called as holding it in or rather finding a private place to relieve yourself. 

Who wants to step in puddles of urine on the sidewalk. Also when you are happily walking on the road and suddenly you get exposed to frontal nudity you want to run like hell or beat up that ass then and there.

3) Digging your nose: This is a complete no no for all adults. I can understand children indulging themselves in this hobby but why should it fascinate a grown up is beyond me. 

I have seen adults do this in public without a care in the world and with full concentration. It is as if they are panning for gold or digging diamonds from a mine. Once they hit jackpot, out comes the treasure and it is meticulously rolled into balls and I stopped looking after that.

I have seen an entirely new breed in the
UK. They follow the same principles of digging till making balls. After that, I've seen so many of them lapping it up as if it is nectar (Gross). I feel like saying this to them 'If you lack certain vitamins, there are ample varieties available at the pharmacy. You do not need to be such a miser to eat your own excretement. Remember we are not ANIMALS!!!'.

4. Touching Yourself: They are especially men (I am not doing any discrimation). They will ambush an unsuspecting public by suddenly touching themselves for no reason whatsoever. If any adjustments need to be done please do so in the privacy of your home. We do not want to turn red with embarrasment when you are in a mood to play around. Neither do we find this certain type of action arousing if there has been any miscommunication on our part.

5. Ladies there is a thing called a Purse :  This category thinks purses are useless and a sheer waste of money. Who needs one when you can actually make good use of your undergarment. These women use their undergarment for holding keys, money, handkercheifs and what not. An unsuspecting bhaji wala (Vegetable Vendor) is usually a victim of these women. After buying the vegetables they just whip their hands inside their blouses to bring out the cash. If all of us start doing that then very shortly brands like 'Leiber', 'Dior' and 'Prada' will have to close down their shops and start designing 'Bras with wallets'.

There are many more things which are a complete no-no when you are in Public. The length of this list is endless as more people commit innovative faux pas.

  3. Each habit listed is more disgusting than the other. But, I'm particularly repelled by people urinating in public.

    My friends didn't back me up, but I had planned to go on a drive on Delhi's MG road with a camera. I intended to call out to each such creature, and click the moment of surprise. Would still like to do it sometime...

  5. Lol @ Ladies there is a thing called a Purse. Beautifully captured the image of colorful India. Although I disagree on the 'touch yourself' part. If you need an adjustment, you really can't wait to reach home to do it :) sometimes it becomes necessary :P

  10. Fortunately I am so oblivious to all that goes around me (It pays to be absent minded), that I hardly notice much. Nevertheless, the part of people touching themselves has caught my eye a number of times and that totally grosses me out!!

  25. Probably u misunderstood a very common way to apologies if someone touches somebody with one's feet. It's very common in Marathis and Bengalis and too some extent in NorthIndians too. They remember God, touching their heart....:)
