1) Missing a train by a hair's breath: Its indescribable how frustrating it can be, that even after running like wild buffaloes to get to the right platform, my friend and me have missed innumerable trains. We've almost always arrived (in such situations) just in time to see the train pulling out of the station.
2) Wading through muck in expensive shoes: Oh my. This is certainly the next annoying thing after missing trains, because mostly, the muck is the very reason for us missing them (the trains) in the first place. We practically have to moon walk through it so as not to sink deeper into that distant cousin of quick sand. The one thing that's come off this exercise, is now I know what people mean when they say 'in deep trash'. Literally! I get to be in it everyday!
3) Having to keep awake during a sleepy lecture: You can almost see double. Your eyes are getting heavier. You want to nod off into deep slumber but you're sitting right under the professor's nose. Could hell get any worse?
4) Waiting for an hour and a half in a train compartment ( that's full of crying babies) that's come to a stand still : Just two words- Holy cow.
5) Stuck in crawling traffic with bad music: The problem with the stereo in my car is that it's had the same CD stuck inside it for the last 8 months. None of the cajoling, pleading and banging seems to have done it any good. So for company, I have glowering motorists, irritating fellow drivers and the same music over and over and over again. *Sighs*
6) Last, but certainly not the least. Being late to class: And that's after waking up early, to get ready early, to catch the train early, that arrives late. Isn't that the most exasperating thing??!
