India, April 18 -- "That constant 'tick-tick-tick-tick' sound in a quiet room drives me absolutely up the wall." Navneet Kaur, 30, hockey player "Remember how we all had one growing up, which we innocently called our sun sign? Now we also have a moon sign and a rising sign. Last month a friend told me I have to read my stellium as well. Google it! I contain multitudes but how can I possibly be one third of the zodiac! Another peeve: Bank relationship-managers. They call you, they ask you to save their direct line and promise that they'll be there for you. But it's always, always, a new person when you call again. It's a situationship." Anindita Ghose, 42, writer "Some people show up to a gig or concert, pull out their phones and record the full 90-minute set. They are viewing the artist through a six-inch screen rather than looking directly at them. They've paid for a live experience, but are getting the YouTube version. Set the phone aside. You're not going to watch your jittery, warped 40-minute footage again, anyway." Girjashanker Vohra, 51, sound engineer and producer "I am a born hater. I get pissed off when people wear flip flops in public. But this Foodie term really gets to me. Your hobby is. eating? Should we applaud good breathers next? I am also rage baited by places that are obsessed with the word 'overload': Overload fries, overload nachos, overload chocolate sundae brownie. Where's the regular menu?" Anoushka Jain, 30, author of Badass Begums & founder, Enroute Indian History "'Ek gaana suna do, beta!' is the worst thing for a singer to hear in real life. I am not a wind-up doll. What's worse is when people say 'I know you make music, but what is your real job?' Then, they tell you how to do your job: 'You should make fast songs or dance tracks!' The biggest rage-bait: 'Why don't you perform on Indian Idol?'" Rauhan Malik, 26, singer "Those long queues outside an eatery - who are these people who are willing to stand for hours for just a dosa? I want to be instantly seated when I arrive at a restaurant. On the other side of the spectrum are people who don't have a sense of their own skills. Your weekend craft activity with your four-year-old is not what a gallery would put up for sale, let alone get an auction slot." Mihir Thakkar, curatorial advisor at Art and Charlie "They're on their phone 24/7 otherwise. But the minute I respond to their plea for help, it's like they disappear into another dimension. Then, they say 'Let's catch up soon'. Yeah, right!" Nivedita Basu, 46, producer and director "My brain says, 'let's unpack this' even though I don't really want to. Are you agreeing with the topic or dismissing it? Are you busy or just disinterested? It's even worse when your partner does it - it's basically a reason to start a fight. I always overthink what their 'hmm' might mean, and then regret reading too much into it." Dr. Rimpa Sarkar, 38, psychologist "When you've reached the climax of the movie, and, someone calls for something trivial. When someone makes you angry, and then you have to go to them for some work. When you open a website for something urgent, and it wants your phone number and email before it gives you the info." Tanmay Shah, 36, filmmaker and visual artist "Celebrities who deny that they have fillers and say that they just 'drink water and meditate'. Their jawline has a better architecture than my clinic! Also, quacks pretending to be dermatologists or skinfluencers. Being able to google something and having a ring light is not the same as having a dermatology degree." Dr Geetika Srivastava, 38, Dermatologist and founder of Influennz Clinic "As a sommelier, this one always gets me. There's no such thing as 'the best wine'. It depends on what you like, what you're eating, your mood, the occasion. It's like asking what the best song in the world is. The fun of wine is in discovering your own taste, not looking for a cheat sheet." Nikhil Agarwal, 47, wine and spirits expert, and founder of spirits events and consulting agency All Things Nice "Those potholes turned my peaceful Devgad drive into a full-body workout. But that was a one-time trigger. My daily rage-bait is when hotel housekeeping staff turn the room into a Diwali show, keeping all the lights on for you to switch off when you return." Suma Shirur, 51, athlete and founder of Lakshya Shooting Club "Think of 'Just stay consistent' or 'Trust the process'. Okay, but HOW? Give me a plan, give me numbers, give me something I can actually do tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it sounds deep but it's actually useless." Tarini Shah, 23, content creator...
