Things A Social Media Person Hates Hearing

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram: These are the only three words that comes to a layman's mind when you say the word “social media”. They are least bothered about the million other things that come under this wide term. And just in case you are working at a social media firm, you'll have tens of friends who'll annoy you with baseless questions that'll make you go “Why do these people exist?”

So here I am, listing down the top 5 most annoying things that you hear when you work for a social media firm. Sit back and enjoy:

• ''Why are you always online? Don't you have work?” - Eh, this is a part of my work, you tiny idiot.

• "Lol. You guys don't even work for real. All you do is tweet. Lol.” - Dear human, you need to understand the job description, do you?

• "Aye contest jita de na!” - Just in case you are an influencer, people will kill you with this dialogue.

• "Discount milega tere products pe?” - NO! Go away.

• “Dude, viral kar de isko.” - If I got a dollar for every time I heard this, I could be a millionare.
• 
  
• These were the few things that irritate the hell out of me as a social media person. If you have more in mind, drop them in the comments! Cheers.

Things Bengalis Are Tired of Hearing.

It doesn't matter if you are a Bengali, Punjabi, Tamilian or a Marathi, there are a million stereotypes that we come across on a daily basis. There are a million things we are tired of hearing, and being a Bengali, the list is unending. Some are hilarious, some are stupid, and some are hilariously stupid. It is very difficult being of one region and living in another region.

Since the time I have shifted to Mumbai, there have been hundreds of instances I've been made into a "Oooh she's a Bengali! Do something! Say something in Bengali." puppet, and today I felt I should list the top 10 things WE BENGALIS ARE TIRED OF HEARING. Why? So that we can instil a bit of sense in you. So sit back, and enjoy.

10.) "Oh you're a Bengali? What does 'Aami Tomake Bhalobashi' mean?" - For heaven's sake, it's 21st century, and Google Translate exists for a reason.

9.) "Oh, you're a Bengali guy? Do you love football?" - Yes, they might. Yes, they might not. What does being a Bengali have to do with loving football or any other sport?

8.) "Oh, get me Rasgullas from Kolkata!" - No, I won't. I seriously won't till you stop annoying me with this statement every time you meet me.

7.) "Do you wear that red and white saree during Durga Puja?" - Bollywood needs to stop sensationalizing this Durga Puja fact. As a matter of fact, I haven't even worn a saree during Durga Puja in these 19 years. Get over it!

6.) "You're a Bengali. Sing or dance for us!" - I'm neither Beyonce nor Michael Jackson. I can't dance for shit. GOD!

5.) "You are a Bengali! You must be so intellectual. Do you love reading?" - NO! Just stop.

4.) "All you guys do is save. Such misers!" - You should look at us while we hog. If you call that miserly, I don't know what extravagance is.

3.) "You Bengalis are so soft spoken!" - You should look at us while we swear. Your little bubble will be broken, and you'll be scarred for life.

2.) "Where's your big bindi?" - Oh yes, I wear the bindi all the time. Haven't you seen my bikini picture at Goa with the big Bindi? IDIOT!

1.) "Do you all have fish all the time?" - This sure tops the list. Yeah, we sure do. We also kill idiots for a living and you're next in line.

Well, these were the few things that I keep hearing on a daily basis. If there are more things, do feel free to drop them in the comments.

Cheers!
