Side Effects of Working in the IT Sector
Bhavik:
I once went out to the market wearing my Infosys ID card and did not
realize till my friend told me why I was wearing it !!!!
Ashok:
few days back I slept at 11:30 in the ni8 and woke up in the morning at
7:00 and suddenly thought that I haven’t completed 9.15 hours and laughed
at myself when I realised abt that.
Jyotsna:
One from me too…
Just after our training completion in Mysore Dc and postings to Pune, me
and my friends went out for dinner in one of the best restaurants. .
And as I finished.. I started walking towards the Basin with plates in my
hand.. :)
Abhijeet:
Jus to add…
Once I was on call with my father and mom was not around. I went on to
ask, “why is she not attending the status call?”
Anup:
I don’t login to orkut, yahoo, gmail, youtube, etc.. at my personal
internet connection at home… thinking it will be blocked any way.
Till I realize - I am at home.
Rohit:
Yeah sometimes it do happens with me also…….. ….while writing
personal mails also…….. .I jus use the way as if I am writing to
onsite or some senior person…… ..
Just forget that we are jus mailing our friends….. ………
And keeping hands in front of tap for waiting water to drop by itself is
very frequent with me………. …..I jus forget that we have to turn on
and off the tap……… ..
Nidhi:
Awesome!!
Once after talking to one of my friend. I ended the conversation saying
…” Ok bye…in case of any issues will call u back”
(Hilarious!)
Nisha:
Sometimes when I mistakenly delete a message
from my mobile, I hope for a second, maybe its in the recycle bin
Farina:
I was about to throw my hanky into the bin after drying my hand.
Bhabani:
Once I was flashing my ID card instead of unlocking the door with the
keys.
Nisha:
Kinda a same experience for me too..
I gave my office mail id and pwd to access Gmail and wondered when did
they become invalid???
Sandy:
I have a experience to share tooo .. I was earlier working at the back
office of an international Bank. We used to ‘dispatch’ lot of Credit /
Debit cards and statements for the customers and track its delivery later.
Once my granma was admitted in a hospital, my team mate once casually
asked me ” howz ur granma doing now ? still in hospital ? ” … and i
replied to her ” She is better now , she will dispatched from the hospital
tomorrow !”
This was followed by a loud laugh in the entire bay !
Sandeep:
Once I went to a pharmacy n asked for a tab….pharmacist asked whr I want
250mg r 500mg…..suddenly I replied as 256mg…lol. …thank god he

Me getting a thought of doing an Alt+Tab while switching from a news
channel to the DVD while watching TV.
Vidyarthi:
And I - after a forty hour marathon in Bhubaneshwar with Powerbuilder,
decided to take a break and went to a movie. In the middle of the movie,
when I wanted to check the time, I kept repeatedly glancing at the bottom
right corner of the silver screen!
Venu:
Few of my friends and myself decided to go out for dinner. The place
wasn’t fixed yet. I said we shall decide it “run time”
Krishna:
When I went to a movie theatre from office directly.. I showed the guy at
the entrance my ID card and walked in… he had to call me back asking the
ticket…
Rama:
One late night when I went home after work, I was trying to flash my id

to do
Sridhar:
Once I went to have juice at the local juice vendor and innocuously asked
him whether he had a plain ‘version’ of lemonade.
Arun:
Few years back my shogun engine stopped on Bangalore MG Road as the petrol
came to reserve. I told my friend I need to restart my bike!
Satya:
The other day I was hearing one guy talking of a “Standalone” house.. when
he was actually intending a independent house… Poor broker shud have
tuff time trying to find a ” Alone house standing in a huge empty area…
” don’t know what interpretations the guy must have made.
