Facebook Game invitations - NO THANK YOU

With all humility and due respect I have had to say no to all . No' not because I am a boring sort of individual - but if I had accepted all your requests ( how could I please some and risk the wrath of others ?)I would have to retire to concentrate and do well and truthfully I can't afford to right... now .Need the money you know .
Besides I am not sure I would have been good at these games either .
I like the rural life but not too keen on Farming so Farm Ville was out of the question at the very outset .
I love 3 card , even good old Rummy and Puploo ! but definitely have no clue how one plays POKER - that too Texan style.
I am calm by nature so Tetris Battle and Mafia wars were a no no - not good with guns and swords etc. In fact ' coming to think of it there are far too many war games and more being developed every day and we wonder why the world is becoming so violent - BECAUSE THATS WHAT EVERYBODY DOES FOR HOURS EVERY DAY _ PRACTICE HOW TO KILL !!
Love dogs and cats and have had them as pets but Angry Birds ?? For goodness sake no . I did have a few love birds as a kid but they flew away one day . Had cock birds and a few hens too and gathering the eggs every morning was my job and it was fun.
Bubble witch saga ?? No clue but it sounds frightening .
Zynga Slingo sounded like a tongue twister !
City Ville - I am all thumbs - I can't put a nail into the wall nor put up a shelf so any thoughts of me helping anyone build a city is downright ridiculous .
In a nut shell CONSIDER ME A WRITE OFF . Not a nut case- JUST A WRITE OFF WHERE THESE GAMES ARE CONCERNED
Thank you and God Bless

I almost did it ..............................

I almost committed suicide a few minutes ago.
Yes you need not wipe your eyes and wonder in disbelief - I ALMOST DID - due to call center overdose .
It all began with me misplacing my Internet  Banking Log in device and deciding to order another one.
I search and find the toll free number and ring it- and there begins my sorrow.
The ring goes on endlessly till a sugary sweet voice welcomed me to NRI services .
I then pressed ONE for English/ TWO for NRI services/ ONE AGAIN followed by the hash key for Lost device / THREE followed by the hash key for phone banking.
I was then instructed to enter the 16 digit no followed by the  star key  .
I then had to reconfirm the number .........
I entered many more numbers / pressed the hash key umpteen times and the star key and few times more .
I was confused by now as to which number to press for what .
All details  entered right and I ventured a smile till a sugary voice said SORRY - You have not entered the details as required .
 I was then asked to hold on a while till  a customer agent was free to talk to me .
No idea how many agents there were and how busy but I was left holding the line for about ten minutes.
Frustrated I cut the line and called again - little remembering that I would have to go through the whole number procedure all over again.
I did it and waited and finally there she was - all sweet and more sugary than ever. She thanked me profusely for waiting and apologized as well- I felt like strangling her and hugging her at the same time - at last the ordeal would be over-  or so I thought .
She needed to verify if I was the account holder and that was fine . She then began a series of questions and that went on endlessly- I hoped she would not ask me anything like what my grandfather's pet dog name was and whether he was a barker or a biter  because I DONT KNOW .
I answered / I searched for papers which had the correct address etc and gave it to her and she seemed pleased . She then asked me to hold the line .
I did so and yes you guessed right - I kept holding and was left  listening to some vague music .
 No idea where she went or whether she had fainted from exhaustion because many minutes later a man came on the line . I could not believe it . Was this for real ?
 He apologized for me having to wait for so long and he asked me the question I was dreading - HOW MAY I HELP YOU SIR.
By now I was breathing hard , I had palpitations , my mouth was dry , I felt like banging my head on the wall , smashing the computer , breaking the glass and jumping out of the 3rd floor window -  but I calmed myself as best I could and told him how he could help  me .
All he needed was a few questions answered and that would be all .
So there I was answering the vaguest of questions - my favourite colour / whether I parted my hair on the left or right / whether I was bald or cross eyed-  how much I weighed on the 40th birthday or something to that effect.
I PASSED THE TEST . He and I were both relieved
I was then given the good news that I would get the device in seven working days . If I did not receive it in seven working days I should call back.
I have decided to wait seven working days - I hope and pray it comes because I dread having to call back again. If it does not - I will make a will and jump - into some river / lake - whatever - I refuse to answer any more  questions .
I do not remember the name of my pet / I do not remember my first secret question / I am not sure of what my favourite dish was when I opened my account 15 years ago .

Phone banking / Internet banking / Log in/ Id / Passwords/ secret questions / alternate passwords - OMG - Do pray that I receive that device in seven days !
PLEASE DO IT NOW - you cant take chances with banks - Can you ?

Idiotic and a trifle frustrating

Am sure you have heard these before ....................from some strange soul you meet somewhere .    Annoying to say the very least.
 
1. Where  have you been -not seen you for ages ?( Obviously you have not - we live in different parts of the world - don't we ?)
2.Oh my God - you haven't changed since I last saw you ( you saw me when I was 15 - I m 50 + now - either you are losing your sight or your a liar  )
3. We must meet up sometime . ( Why do we have to - we are not friends are we ?)
4. You all must come over ( for goodness sake where - when - you have said that a million times before )
5 Do drop in when you get the time ( I don't drop in or  drop out for that matter - Thank you nevertheless )
6.I hope we will  be seeing you again ( I  hope not - your kids were a pain- one evening was enough  )
7.  What HAVE you done to yourself - you look so run down ( No not run down you fat lump - I don't eat junk food like you do )
8. You look out of sorts  - is everything all right ( Yes it is and stop fishing for news because you wont catch )
9. Haven't we met before ( Yes we have and I hope you don't recognize me as you bored me to tears the last time )
10.You meet someone at a movie hall - So you've come to see the movie too ??( No just the posters )
11. While walking into church late - are we late ( no both our watches have stopped  dumbo)
12.Putting on weight eh ? ( Its my life - shut up will you .)
13.So - out shopping? ( no I push other peoples trolleys in my spare time )
14.So growing plants in the house are we ? ( No I am watering the artificial ones )
15. So what DID you do on the weekend  (  You inquisitive rat-  stop prying )
16 Your up to your neck in work and someone walks in and asks -   ARE YOU BUSY ? ( no I am amusing myself signing papers , answering calls and replying to mail)
17. Are you in a bad mood ? ( No certainly not - I scowl for fun )
18. Its 48 degrees and your sweating streams outside - Are you feeling hot ? ( No,  only you are - I am covered in hide )
19. I can smell something  yummy cooking . ( No that's the  new room freshener we  are using )
20 .Looking at 2 bookshelves crammed with books - You do a lot of reading ? ( No - those are  purely for decorative purposes only )
