Questions without Answers !

Some questions for which I may never find answers: These are not exactly questions for which Mr. Murphy is the answer

Why is that when you are waiting at the platform to catch a train, it always so happens that before a train comes in the direction that you want, there are at least 2 trains passing by on the opposite direction?

Why is that people who are otherwise ordinary and normal , after getting into the first class coach in the local train, take the air of a snob and look down upon and scold poor souls who get into the first class coach by mistake.

Why it is that while in a hotel the one item in the menu card that you would have chosen after perusing for 15 minutes is not available that day??

Why it is that in the same hotel, the food served to the neighboring table looks more delicious and attractive than the one you have ordered for??

Why it is that while in a hotel, it is not the food that gets delayed, but the bill for the food you have eaten??

Why it is that when you attend a wedding, the aunties, grand moms and the assorted lot has to ask when you are planning to get married?

Why it is that when you are standing in the check in counter in the airport, the person in front of you has the maximum number of bags and takes up your time unnecessarily?

Why it is that it is always your bag that comes last out of the conveyer belt while in the airport baggage concourse??

Why is it that when you travel by air or train or whatever, there is always around the corner a wailing kid who never seems to stop???

Why is it that at that the end of a long tiring day, when you are in the train on the way back home and want some peace, some acquaintance bumps into you and starts a never ending conversation??

Why is it that every other ring tone apart from the one in your mobile phone, sounds jarring and loud??

Why is it that while shopping, the one piece of cloth that you like, ends up being the most expensive in the whole bloody floor??

Why is it that I don’t get answers for all these questions?

Good compilation of common irritants! But I believe the answer to all these is - "because you never notice and remember times when these things have happened the other way around" :-)
