11 reasons to avoid going to a Government Office

1.  It's going to stink.

2. The people behind counters are going to be really pleasant and heart warming to talk to. It's not like they're going to be eternally frustrated with their lives.

  

3. Even if you take an appointment before hand, you're going to have to wait for a minimum of 4 hours to get your work done.

4. Irrespective of the fact that you're paying to get your work done, you're being obliged by the Government official. He's moving his hand to put a stamp on your paper; requires technique and effort.

5. If lunch break starts at 1 and ends at 2, consider the office closed at 12.30 and don't expect it to open before 3.

6. A plus side to visiting Govt. offices is that if you visit them every now and then, you really can distinguish an old Pan Parang stain from a new one.. comes in handy when um.. you um. Nevermind.

7. You’re going to have to call EVERYONE in that office Sir or Ma’am. If you fail to do so, your file is going to be blacklisted.

8. The average Government office is going to be amazingly overstaffed and yet the workload is such that the officials can’t seem to stop complaining.

9. If closing time is 5 pm, they’re going to stop working at 4.30 and entry to the office will close at 4.

10. In order to woo the paunch clad employee, one must avail every opportunity to fake laugh during their stay at the office.

11. Government offices, synonymous with Samosa Factory, are going to make you end up smelling of trans fat and oil. 

PS. If you have jugaad, none of these apply to you because you sit in the head official’s air conditioned room for 2 hours while some peon runs around and does the work for you.
