Someone is always watching you...

E-Mail Article to a Friend

Few months ago, my office hired a superb looking guy who created quite a ripple among the female colleagues of mine. He was no doubt one of the best looking faces I’ve ever seen and could really understand the envy of my female friends when his table and laptop was setup in my department. My space became quite popular as my colleagues often drop by to see how I was doing or just for ‘idle’ chat. I would have joined the list of ‘starry eyed girls’ if it weren’t for what I saw the second day of his joining.

It was the second half and most of the co-workers were pretending to work when all we really want was a bed to sleep in, everybody was minding their own business and their eyes glued on screen when I turned for something I don’t remember now and saw that superb looking guy raising his hands up to his face and pushing his index finger deep into his nostril. Clearly he thought that since no one was watching him so it’s high time to find hidden treasures in his nose. He did dig something out and there was a look of rapt fascination on his face, it was enough for me so I turned back and to this day, its an eternal mystery for my office friends that how come I’m not impressed with his looks. Well, no marks for guessing!

The other day, there was a presentation which the whole department of mine was made to attend. The presentation was on something related to data backup and recovery, reminding me of ultra boring digital communication classes. The image on the white board was not in focus properly so finally a technical guy was called in to fix the problem. The technical guy was wearing hipster jeans that hung loosely on his thin frame, he swished swashed his way to laptop with his oily pony tail swish swashing along him. To check on the wire he squatted on his knees and bend down, his butt cheeks couldn’t resist the temptation and fall out of his dirty jeans. I’m telling you, it was one embarrassing sight especially he was squatting right in front of me and there were only two girls in room full of men. We both stared hard at the desktop earning a slight lecture from our manager later for not paying attention to presentation. That guy was oblivious to his butt cheeks and stayed in that position until the presentation was back in focus. It was a relief of finally getting rid of his butt!

When it comes to etiquettes, we girls are very familiar with sentences like ‘dupatta sahi kero’ or ‘always watch your shirt when getting up’. I’ve seen boys having it easy when it comes to this department. You would never see a girl picking up her nose in public place or her cloths in embarrassing condition yet I’ve seen plenty of boys who when sit have their underwear on the show ‘coz their t-shirt is not long enough to hide their bum. Its quite embarrassing, maybe not for those guys but seriously it doesn’t look nice at all.

I know I know I am sounding like a prim spinster but it does look awkward to me!
