Everyday Humour

Random incidents that make my life seem not so mundane.

5:30 in the evening, I was hungry, went down to the food court to grab a bite at mcdonald's. I asked for 1 McVeggie with extra cheese. The person on the other side of the counter, smiled and asked, if i wanted 2 slices of cheese. Fine im thin, should eat more but 2 slices of extra cheese?? What the heck?? Stupid question...but i was smiling none the less.

Shopping at a market for juttis/Mojri's. While waiting for my size of the jutti, was discussing layoff's in TCS. The shopkeeper jumped into the discussion giving his views. As it turned out to be, the shopkeeper was a TCS employee working amidst 1000's of juttis in a crowded shop trying to sell them. We were stunned to see the IT pro + shopkeeper combo!

I had to speak to a colleague so pinged her to ask for the ext # on the office IM, she gave me a 4 digit #. My poor fingers so used to hitting keys on the keyboard for majority of the day, keyed in the 4 digit num on the numeric keypad of the keyboard, rather than the keypad of phone on my desk. Talk about occupational hazards!

7:55 am on a weekday, while travelling to work, a new pick-up was added in the cab roster. It was a female. We managed to reach the address in the roster, it was a PG. A girl stood there, she asked if it was route # C1, we replied yes and she boarded the cab. A few kms down the road she suddenly asked, if it was the company X's cab. And we replied, 'No'. We are going to Company Y. Obviously it was the height of co-incidence and stupidity together.

Life is strange and anything and everything can happen. One of my favorite quotes is 'Life is what happens to you when you are busy doing something else.' Well this quote makes me want to write more....but will do that in the next post :D
