There are few things which according to me are BAD HABITS and they have annoyed me for a long time and they still do but when I gave it a strong thought then it strike me that “How can all these things be incorrect when countless people do it”. Then I thought, why not I ask the reasons for these things from you if you do it.
Please reply your justification in comments wherever it relevant to you,
1. TENDENCY - Honking at Traffic Signals.
QUESTION - Why Do people start blowing the vehicle horn AS SOON AS traffic signal turns GREEN??
MY ANALYSIS – They are SO retarded that they do not even have a common sense to wait at least for 10 seconds for the traffic to clear up in front of them. Person in front of them is not a superman who’ll start flying.
YOUR OUTLOOK – What do you think ?? Let me know in the comments.
2. TENDENCY– Food Wastage.
QUESTION – Why do people waste food ??
MY ANALYSIS– Why can’t they take the quantity they can consume, why few think about money, “Since I have paid for complete meal so I will take as much as I want to and would let it squander even if I cannot eat”. Exemption to this I must have to include after understanding the comments that those people are really not guilty who take the food because it looked attractive but later tasted dreadful.
YOUR OUTLOOK – What do you feel ?? Let me know in the comments.
3. TENDENCY– Bad eating behavior @ workplace
QUESTION - Why do some of the people leave bones on the TABLE after finishing their Non-vegetarian lunch ??
MY ANALYSIS– Have they learned their table manners from abominable snowman ???
YOUR OUTLOOK– What do you think ?? Let me know in the comments.
4. TENDENCY– Office Wear
QUESTION– I know that this depends on office to office and on one’s comfort BUT why should someone put on chappal (Slippers) to the workplace ??? This is not valid to females but to females there are few additional things which they must take as suggestions from the comments to this blog.
MY ANALYSIS– It’s highly un-ethical.
YOUR OUTLOOK– What do you believe ?? Let me know in the comments.
Please do let me identify what do you feel about any of these which will allow me to realize and transform my belief regarding few things.
Waiting for your comments :-)

i completly agree with you sir .. there is a global tendancy that "ek din kar lunga toh kya ho jaaega" and this needs to be addressed in a proper forum.
Person who honks in traffic we should go and start shouting in his ears loudly so that he understands how much it irritates.
Person who keeps the left overs on the table should be called immediatly in front of everyone (humiliate) and ask him to remove that.
and many more .. Jai Gandhigiri
Good post dear ...
1.In traffic if a person honks Un-necessary - Give him looks and pretend to give him place, Then he will realise there is no place ---- some of them are dumb guyssss.
2. Pls dont wate food.... If u are full there are millions of ppls who are hungry... Food is a boon to all living beings......
3.Its not only Non-veg, I have even seen ppl eating rice with there hands . I am a south Indian tooo but pls learn to eat rice with spoon in the office as it looks weird.....
4.Office wear ---- Hey Ankit I am a girl cant stop wearing Slippers/sandals as I wear salwar suit to office... However there are few things I would like to mention Pls girls no tight fitted clothes to office... its not cool... Guys dont like it anyways... ur making a fool out of urself.. and pls mind the jewellary u wear ... its office not Bridge road..... or ur friends marriage...
chappals and ethics - a disconnect.
Well here are my comments:
1. I guess there are two kinds of people at traffic signal, first one are of those kind who believe it was the red light which restricted them from taking off, so they blow horn to clear the run way and second one are those who are so relaxed at traffic signals that it doesn't matter to them if the signal turns green, they prefer to take their own sweet time and have attitude "Do hell with the world", i guess these people further exacerbate the already petering out patience of other people and hence deserved to be honked at.
2. Though wasting food is a bad habit but then it can be the case where the person would have loved to have all of it but after tasting the food the individual realised that it was not worth it.
3. Well i regard these kind of people who have the attitude "Do hell with the world, it is me who should do fine". These kind of people don't care what others go through, these are the same kind of people who jump queues.
4. To add to what is already mentioned i have seen some people walk barefoot in the office in the name of some ritual. I have highest regard for this section of the crowd, they have failed to realize that world has moved into 22nd century. Someone needs to inform them that we need to change with time and the environment around.

MY OUTLOOK – People ( mostly will be in cars who honk the most ) feel @ the top of the world when they are in a car and forget all respect for the world and rules .. observe it .. you will feel it ..

MY OUTLOOK – When ever i make a plate believe me or not i always remember a small documentary piece i saw on doordashan when i was a kid .. where it shows lord krishna asking for food and gets a single piece of rice which is left in the vessel and says " Even a single piece of Rice can fill a stomach " .. that day on i never leave anything my plate.

MY ANALYSIS– It’s highly un-ethical.
MY OUTLOOK– I am witness to drama where an Indian Express Journalist came to Holiday Inn in blue-white bathroom slippers for a dinner party and was denied entry and he was shouting and arguing that Chappals are integral part my Culture and a part of my dressing .. do i need to comment any further?
i agree with most of your comments except the "chappals at the workplace" part. if you are in a position where you have to interact with a customer, then this type of dressing is inappropriate (and not necessarily "unethical"). but if you are working within a team that does not require you to look polished to increase your productivity, then it should be OK as long as you are wearing something that is sober and not flashy in an ugly way. my point is that your appearance is not necessarily directly proportional to your productivity...then you might ask "what if comfortable clothes like chappals increase the productivity of the person who is interacting with the customer also?"
i think there are certain boundaries that have to be respected. so people will have to find their comfort zone inside these boundaries...there is no point in forcing people to wear ties and suits when all they do is sit for 12 hours in front of a computer and slog without even meeting the end customer...you can afford to cut them some slack...
Honking horns on red light, lack of common sense and a stare to the idiot normally does the trick for me.
Wasting food bothers me and should not be done. If eating in a restaurant I normally get the left over food packed and give it someone.
Bad eating behavior @ workplace, just one comment leave the table the way you want to find it when you come in the cafeteria.
Chappals at work place, until you have a injury or something I don't think you should do that. It’s about how people look at you when you come to office it doesn’t bother me however it might bother your career in longer run.

Hi
I'm following your blog for quite some time bt couldn't able to put any comment on thm though i thought about tht few times.sorry for tht.
Today, i had to do it, as u asked it directly to do it.[:)]
1)y ppl blow horn?
This is very very irritating for me also.But somehow i never able to understnd tht y thy do it?no one wants to stuck on traffic but it has it's own pace.U jus can't blow horn nd clear the traffic.It can only annoy th people nd which can only worsen the things.
I dont see ny solution to this, as it's only self decision.Let's hope ppl realize it nd stop doin this.
Again rest of your "tendencies" are self oriented.We can only expect thm to improve with the generations coming.
You just can't go to someone and humiliate thm jus b'coz thy are wearing slippers or left extra food.No one is perfect.
You can find so many genius people who are very bad in social things.
But, i undrstnd u r nt here talkin bout geniuses bt still ...
DO one thing, try to tell those ppl who take extra food or leave bones or blow horn that thy r doing wrong? let's see what results we get, then we can decide on some solution.
Enjoy...
1.who wants to be in a queue?..ppl honk coz they want some of the dump guys in front to start their vehicles atleast)...many guys start vehicles only seeing green...another reason...is there any rule saying nobody should do this at a traffic light?
2,3.eating habits are cultivated by parents...it will improve if somebody corrects them....two points that i' make sure is:...take small portions of whatever you are taking. if u cannot eat anything or everything, leave it in plate...overeating is another bad habit...if u don't want to do overeating, pl make sure you follow my first rule.
3.wearing chappals is good..keeps ur foot breathing...and for folks who don't clean their socks often, this is the best thing they can do to contribute to a odour-free work place...is that so bad?...otherwise, companies should deal with these things properly.
1. people honking horns at trafic light may or may not be right. There are also times when the people in the front row are mesmerised in their mobile talks, etc hence delaying the movement. Else the person honking the Horn is an ass h...!
2. Wastage of food is criminal and is indicative of one's shallow approach towards Life.
3. Eating habits ...!!! they tell us what people are ....people leaving the bones are the leftovers themselves!
4.office wear ...Hmm..it is serious concern as it shows how seriously you take yourselves. Because you are what you do (JOB)!
TENDENCY - Honking at Traffic Signals.
Hmmm ... i suppose ... honking is required ...... coz we deserve it ... tell me how many indians have actually given exams held, while taking driving license ..... may be 0.001% .... so why should we talk about civic sense .....
TENDENCY– Food Wastage.
Chalo aap ki baat maan leta hun .....
TENDENCY– Bad eating behavior @ workplace
Well it depends ..... kabhi kabhi .. honestly time nahin hota ..... to kabhi kabhi kisi ko dekhte dekhte pata nahin chalta ki kya chuuta kya nahin .. aur baaki time ke liye ... yes we do need to learn table manners
TENDENCY– Office Wear
I dont think it should really matter ki wat r u wearing ... its personal choice ... yes exceptions are there like client visit or meetings etc .... but rest of the time it shouldn't matter much
Well I'll just say one thing
Ignore them ..and be Happy...
U cant change them..
and wearing Slippers in office is pathetic...wasting food is bad...honking is really a offense ...
But its like indian mentality...we never care for something till we pay fine....
Cheers and Beers
