Annoying Habits

Yes Mousumi there are certain people who really do not realize how much nuisance and inconvenience they are creating for others. Functions and get-togethers can be arranged and enjoyed without disturbing the others.

Lack of civic sence and no respect for the law are the real reasons behind this indiscipline. A responsible and law abiding citizen will never cause inconvenience to other citizens.

Without noise there is no function worth its name that can be held. Mike is a necessity. Otherwise how will people come to know that a function is being held. Louder the noise better the function.

Yeah, it seems like there is a false notion that the louder the music, the more fun they are having! In my city, in several places people have to put up with extremely loud and raucous late-night parties each weekend hosted by students and IT professionals in their shared flats! The nuisance grew to such an intolerable limit that many housing societies now have made rules against renting flats to bachelor youngsters, even girls being equally capable of hosting such parties, even single girls, both students as well as working are now refused as renters!

bachelors who are not of that type are also finding it to get accommodation on rent because of such noisemakers in Mumbai.

Speaking of annoying habits............ "spitting in public places" is abhorrent. In an apartment complex I have seen people have mounted pictures of gods and goddesses on the staircases so that people can't spit on the walls.

Sounds like a good idea to use Gods to rescue us from refraining from spitting. But how do we deal with atheists?

Yeah few people..single tenants who create nuisance, make it difficult for others tenants to look for accomodation....

It appears from the discussion, the situation of flat cleanliness in Flats and on Roads in my place, a metropolis is far better than many places. Here we never faced the problems mentioned in the thread.

In India garabage management is a problem that never seems t have a solution even when you have garbage collection. I see many people dumping their garbage by the roadside where they feel like . They would rather throw outside rather than into the garbage bin that is provided which is extremely annoying.There is no point in blaming the authorities since they have provided a bin and are clearing it at regular intervals but people simply dont seem to care to take that bit of extra rouble to go close to the bi and throw it into it,,,

That is because the authorities themselves are not at all serious about garbage management. I am sure you know how rules regarding garbage are extremely difficult in other countries, especially in Europe. Also, because of constantly hammering the importance of proper garbage management in those countries, now people too have become very responsible. Actually there is so much more that can be done to reduce overall garbage on personal levels, but no one wants to do anything except for a handful few who realise its importance. And the general attitude is, 'so long as it is not in my home, I don't care where I throw the trash from my home'! :blink:

In all newly built societies and apartments there are garbage chutes available and in case it has not been provided, someone comes in to collect garbage. Also, not sure why, if people can follow rules in office and workplaces, why does it become so difficult to follow and continue this habit outside the office premises. May be strict rules can change the attitude of people and can bring about some discipline about throwing garbage in trash cans and not anywhere one pleases.

Thinking of annoying habits reminds of people who honk needlessly when struck in a traffic jam... some people honk to their heart's content even if is quite evident that it will take more than few seconds for the traffic to clear or disperse.

I was once driving on an empty road and the driver behind was constantly blowing his horn. Every time I would makw way for him to overtake he would not do so. I blocked him at a narrow stretch and asked him why he was constantly horning - as i driving wrongly. He laughed and said as he likes to sing while driving horn provides music. !!!!

Ha.haa....it is good to enjoy one's drive but not at other people's cost or inconvenience. Some do to attract and seek other's attention if they are riding a new bike or driving a car...

A case of severe nutcase in my opinion! Honking horns unnecessarily while driving should be made a punishable offense and liable for heavy fines. Once I had taken out one of our clients from UK to our city centre for shopping on the prominent Laxmi Road area. There was so much honking of horns and terrible noise in general, she was very much disconcerted and asked me if something wrong had happened in that area! When I told her no, it was normal here, she was really stunned and said that if they became so much nosiy in her country, they all would have spent a night in the jail! She asked me to my utter embarrassment whether we do not have any concern of causing trouble to the babies and the elderly and sick! :blink:

Exactly, honking without any reason should be punishable. But if you come to think of it, how many things can be controlled by mere punishment, why can't people be more alert and morally educated. Why do we have to have punishment or fine for every little thing?

On the contrary, during my visits, I have found it very unsettling that no one uses horns in many Western countries and the silence is disturbing for some one used to hearing them all the time.

Exactly...but then as a nation we have developed or to be more precise, underdeveloped as responsible citizens so we have to be policed in all matters. If that were not so, then our country would not be so dirty!

That is why even they do not mind the horns! And since as rule, Indians ARE noisy and noise-loving people so it is unsettling for us when in foreign countries we do not hear the traffic noise as we are generally used to! When I was In England for sometime, after finishing work at 5:30 pm I used to walk home, the shops would all be closed by then, streets would all be deserted and with not even a dog on the roads (there never are any stray dogs or animals) so I used to be very disconcerted initially, even scared. BUt then I got used to it and learnt to enjoy the solitude for I knew it was going to short-lived! :cheer:

On a lighter note..I prefer noisy stray dogs than noisy and boisterous humans! Also, I don't think policing will do any good...with all due respect this will become yet another way how police can manipulate and harass civilians and make asking for fines a 3rd or 4th income out of policing!
