Every person, at one point or the other, would have had his/her dealings with this insufferable human. One who adds that extra, unwanted spice to life; the one who makes sure you dont enjoy your work; a topic to discuss/abuse at every available oppotunity....from the grouchy Math teacher, to the adamant Dean; to the undisputed king of the "Insufferables" - the BOSS!
There's one such pathetic being in my life right now - BA.
BA : Subordinates :: jailor : prisoners
His daily routine:
1. Drafts a couple of high priority "WARNING!" mails in bold red, fit to be read from miles away that says Submit XYZ in time, do not misuse resources and such petty things. He could be taken seriously provided it was a once in a blue moon thing - but these daily warnings have long lost their charm on us.
2. Tired of warning us, he then walks around the floor; stops by every cube; stares at each of the four monitors for a few minutes, trying to pry into all the windows each person is accessing; makes his presence felt and walks away. No monitor is spared this inspection. (Hence the pet name BA - Bhatakti Aatma)
In case he finds a person "violating" "policies" (set by the dude only), there comes another WARNING!!!
3. Find a "bakra" for the day and make his/her life hell.
The thing that ticks me off most about him is his supposedly clever taunts (the soap writers should consult him while writing "saasu maa"s lines). He treats his subordinates like $h17!! The way he talks in meetings is absolutely denigrating! He relishes bullying/insulting juniors/not-so-juniors; savors their pain (believe me! you go to him with a problem, he'll not only not help you; but'll try his level best to make that problem a 1000 times worse and then laugh on your face about your sorry situation!); readily puts down his own people in front of his seniors and such similar pathetic behaviour.Has a problem with every single thing in others' life.
Luckily for me, there's one more level in between. This guy's a gem; with a "live & let live; I-won't-intefere-until-called-for" attitude. Nonetheless, BA has tried having his way with me, but has failed miserably!! I have never hestitated in giving him a piece of my mind, be it in private or in public (as it happened today). Cant keep quiet when my self respect is challenged! After these doses from me, he has started behaving properly with me and the rest of my team.
But, he's a man who'd keep grudges and after today's slap on his face, i'm sure he's waiting to wrench my neck. The world does not treat you hospitably for speaking the truth & trying to stand your ground. I will now have to watch my every step, front and back.....
Haunted by the aatma :-(
P.S. Moderated a stronger blog....just in case the "eye" roves Blogspot as well
P.P.S. Life's like a black man's left ass - It is neither fair, nor right!!!

Hmm.. quite true u get to meet such people..
Sometimes these are the fellows that make life much more interesting. You can talk about them. You can blame them.. They are topics of your blogs.. WOW.. what else can one ask for? :P
I think such people are required in life to really appreciate how good we are, how we should not be and sometimes they help us learn to deal with people. If we experience the worst human ever!! We can take on anybody else.. right??
Even i have experienced the same kind from people in each and every stage of my life.Starting from my school days to current profession.Neither do they make others eat nor they eat.With a sarcastic mind this ghost will be Wandering around like a Lunatic guy.When i'm writing this line the same guy just passed with that Allrounder mind.I could smell the nasty idea that he is having in his mind.But as the superiority tries to supress as its human that we try to evade from that, but still u have to suffer it till u find a solution.
