That Guest...

There are a variety of funny specimens in the human race, and sometimes we get to meet them in the form of our guests. We can’t escape them most of the times, and to make matters worse, there’s always something about them that irritates the hell out of us. I’m not saying my guests do that to me (they’re all very lovely, thank you very much J), but just for the sake of some fun, Akhil and I have formed a list of some of the kinds of people we all run into from time to time. So no hard feelings when you read this, and have a laugh with us when we say that there’s always the guest that…

…is so loud that your whole house shudders from their booming voice

…says he/she has already ate a lot, but still decides to eat anyways (and more than you do, when actually you’re the one who’s starving)

…drains out all the hot water from the shower after their “quick bath”

…asks you what you’re doing about your career (just like the last time, and million times before that)

…refuses to leave, and keeps talking till what seems like the end of time (in sync to the one where they say they’re leaving, but never really seem to be able to get out of the door)

…is too primate to use the flush (Why God, why??)

And now, for some kids’ specials, there’s always the guest’s kid who…

….eats out all the snacks from the serving tray with his/her bare hands (with his SALIVA-LAYERED, bare hands)

…seems to have escaped the local zoo (no offense, but the couch isn’t a trampoline kids, so stop acting like monkeys)

…uses the bathroom floor to leave signs that he was there (TOO unpleasant *grossed out*)

…digs his/her nose like….(there’s no metaphor disgusting enough to describe this one)

…likes your old toys better than anything, and makes the biggest scene on earth until you let him/her keep it (forever! L)

…goes through every cupboard, drawer and bag like a suspicious girlfriend (only worse)

And of course, an official tribute to the special aunties who…
…walk into the kitchen asking how they can help, then just stare at all the good food and walk back to the table to sit and start eating right away

…have that laugh that makes you laugh (and it’s definitely not even in the romantic way)

…use your stuff like it’s really their’s, and forget to give it back (especially the hair bands)

…try making small talk with you but never really lets you finish your sentence

Ahhh….the list could go on and on! It’s a pleasant little world, isn’t it? J
