t makes for interesting conversations over breakfast when your ears are plugged up with a bad cold. "Could you pass the milk please?" sounded like "Coldshoe shazzame please?". "
"So, it must be really cold there right now? Man, I can't imagine living there..grr.."
I get a weird look.
"Err..not really. It is warm enough in
People are grumpier until after breakfast and your repeating "Pardon me" 100 times only serves to irritate them more! :(

t is rather embarassing when you forget to remove the maker's tag from your coats/jackets. Those people just make it harder by having it stitched in. Why not just have something that you can rip off easily? Well, I knew I was supposed to take it off but never got around to it. An airline stewardess in the flight I was in had a patronizing grin each time she passed me. I couldn't think of any reason and I just put it down to one of those human eccentricities. Then, when the flight was about to land, she leaned in and whispered,
"Ma'am, you're supposed to remove this tag."
Considering that I’d walked around all over the place with that stupid tag on, all I could do was nod sheepishly. Talk about embarassing!
[Finally, I did cut the darn thing off when I got home. I guess I need to thank her for that.]

Accent thaaney purlai ? Summa Adichu vida koodathu !
Very embarrasing indeed. Sometimes the makers would have their seal printed on their products which is even more disgusting.

Hey!! When I told you that 2 months back, I got the look like I was a stupid dumass..followed by 'its stitched in there and is not supposed to come out'
'I guess I need to thank her for that.]'
Yeah rite!!

@ Anon-I,

zep,
you have stolen my comment...looks like a day of lost-comments :-|
Subha,
lex to lex - masala dosai ! There are so many interesting narratives behind cold-struck-lingo ;) :-)
You shd consider renaming the post as jet-tagged-mind ;) :P
I get confused somtimes with some of these name brand tags as well. I don't know if they put it so you can walk around looking fashionable ? Or take the pain of cutting it with pin point precision, miss a little and your shirt's gone ?
Blistery cold night ? More like a "Can't believe it's this warm on february 2 nd" night ! :)
@zeppelin,
what to do, the spirit of Lex seems to be everywhere..:))
@kay,
parava illai, edho Rajini oda compare panninadhaale unnai mannikkaren..:)
@Arvind,
jet-tagged? !
@Dinesh,
For the nth time, it was NOT warm..!!! :)
since the enlightenment to your 'mind' about the usage of 'tag' was showered upon you on a 'jet' - it can be aptly titled as jet-tagged-mind, as opposed to jet-lagged-mind...
phew...:-)
