CTT:10 Irrational things that I worry about

Some irrational things that I worry about

1. When I eat a hard candy, I worry that I might break my tooth.

2. When I show my id at the airport, and the security looks at me, I feel that he might pull me aside and tag me as terrorist and say that my id is fake.

3. When there is turbulence is the flight, I am sure that we are going to crash and die.

4. I close the bedroom door before I sleep, if its not closed I keep staring at it before I sleep, in my head I imagine a ghost walking in my living room or coming in the bedroom through the open door.

5. When I am standing on my balcony and drinking coffee, I worry that if my coffee mug falls and hits someone, I might become a murderer and I can't even run away the people in the opposite building would have seen me.

6. When I go shopping and get into the trial room, I worry that I might get stuck inside a dress halfway through and it would be embarrassing to call someone to help me out of that dress.

7. After sending an official email, I check the "Sent Items" atleast twice to make sure that I have hit the Reply button or the Reply All button.

8. Whenever a dog howls after 10pm, I am convinced that there are ghosts around.

9. When any of my loved ones are travelling, I always feel that they might meet with an accident.

10. When I wear I saree, I am totally convinced that I am going to trip on it and fall on my face and my saree will come off.

What irrational things do you worry about/

#Dashtalks: Ivy Gourd

Background of the conversation:
Ivy gourd is called tondlee in Marathi, tindey in Hindi and Awin hates that vegetable because of its name

Awin: Who names a vegetable Donlee

Me: Its Tondlee

Awin: Tonlee is no good name either, I mean, what this thing is some Bruce Lee Jet Li family or what? Some attitude this vegetable has got

*he continues to rant*

Awin: Look at it, staring at me like a fat worm. Such a dumb looking vegetable

Me: How can a vegetable look dumb?

Awin: If its Donlee, it can look dumb 

Me: Just finish your dinner. Its good for health

Awin looks at the curry on his plate and says I am eating you only because my wife says so, I still think you are a stupid vegetable

*While I smile from the kitchen*
