MESSAGE SENDING FAILED

Now thats something i'm very frequently faced with on my cell phone...am a student...a college student...so i take it thats quite alright...to not have mentionable balance on a cell phone....its really not my fault actually...i like calling...at least i prefer calling rather than texting..(i hate the time lapses actually)..
I had an airtel number at first...and then i was inspired by the movie enough to actually have one of its songs as my hello tune..(the 'apni tho paatshaala' song)...had a lotta fun with it at first..and then realised that having 30 rs deducted every month wasnt really fun...(worst part is by the time the song was updated every month i'd only have around 2 rs as my balance...so it'd end up in negatives...which many found really suprising....*sheesh*)...
Anyway...switched to hutch ( i dont know why) and then made the fair judgement of not uploading another hello tune...but then again not so suprisingly...here i am again with balance less than a ruppee....

There are two sides to this coin...first the good part...u arent bothered with replying to messages all day(sorry guys!)..u can only be reached when called..(which most people dont)...and basically u go back to life-before-the-cell-addiction.....peace!

The downside...?...u cant reply to anyone....people think u're mad at them since u dont reply(!)...or worse they think u're beyond such crap...and many wisely choose these moments to give u missed calls and expect u to call back...(ha!)...

Anyway...best part bout hutch is the chota recharge thingy....which i have to do sometime soon....so anyway...what do u think?..life without the cell phone now??

"u have 277 frnds...did u knew everyone b4 frndship? everythin has a first time...thot abt sendin u a frndship request...on a second thought..desisted myself"......

Okay...I didnt get that...but a friend of mine did....and I just happened to see that one...first reaction...roll in laughter...and slowly progress to disgust....

Well...i know that in a way i'm being prejudiced...but i cant help it...people with really bad grammar turn me off!..call me mean...i dont care..
hell, they could be really nice people, but my first impression of this seems to last beyond the nice-bit...in my head, bad english = bad person whose head i need to rip off....

Funny though..this community i found on orkut titled, i hate people with bad grammar....well so there ARE people like me then...its definately worth joining..check it out...

School was bearable....hell, people in my school KNEW english well....but college?...argh!..the first week there and i could count the number of people who are worthy of acknowledging...(actually thats bit of a stretch,..make it more like people who i know could understand what i said)..

How frustrating would it be to be stared at with blank expressions when u walk up to a bunch of people and say 'you are expected to be at the lab, pronto'....???
Some things that really tick me off are when people say redundant stuff....'return the book back yaaaaaaa......'....'repeat it again, noo...'.......argh!!

And is it the tamil lingo to extend the last syllable of the word at the end of the sentence??...hey, am a tamilian..and no one ever taught ME to do that!...and the 'no', 'ya'...at the end of every sentence!!....

Or worse....grammar is thrown out the window...there's a topic in that comm that goes something like that....with the addition of 'ed' to the verbs when u want to use the past tense...
'he buyed it...but didnt liked it...so he gived it back...'....(kill me...kill me now...)

Barbarians...there was an incident in my first year that still makes me want to kill that girl...
A conversation where i had to give her the very simple message...'come to the seminar hall for practise at 3 pm'..

ME: U have to be at the seminar hall for the practise at 3 pm today
HER: ok...but do i want to be there?
ME: huh?...how would i know??
HER: ..no tell me...do i want to be there??
ME: look, its none of my business if u want to be there or not..
HER: Aiyo...u not getting me...!!...DO I WANT TO BE THERE???
ME: Sod off...
HER: ...okay..thank you...(and smiles)
ME: !!$*#@&**!!

Many people say this..'he proposed her'...proposed her what?!!..sounds more like he hit her...

Anyway....anything you've heard is annoying enough?..
