Human Leeches. Part#1

Now that I've written about virtual people whom you can easily weed out from your life, this post was an eventuality. I wouldn't have taken the trouble to write this, if the lady next door hasn't come over to my room. I dedicate this post: to her.

So, here I was sitting comfortably in my bed, entertaining myself by calling my friend a "yellow frog" on a public, virtual platform. And then I hear a knock. Followed by a floating head materialising between the curtains.

Me: Hey, come on in.
Guest: Hey I just wanted to ask -
(My hands go for my headsets and I offer it to her)
Me: "Here", I added helpfully.

Guest: No. I just came to ask if I could make a call.
(Without missing a beat, or giving me time to think of a reason, she ventures). Where is your phone?

We look around TOGETHER, and I find it.

Guest: I just need it for 2 minutes.
Me: Sure, no problem.
She goes out dialling...and I don't hear from her for a while.

10 minutes later
Guest (with a sheepish grin plastered across her face): I'm sorry I finished off your balance.

Waves my hand as if chasing an invisible fly, only the intended fly didn't get the message.
Me: Aayee.. no problem mate!

And then she goes.

"You see, it was my professor from my place"
(To self): international call.
"And he wanted to come and visit me"
(To self): probably to murder you here, we have liberal laws.
"And I was guiding him whether to take flight.....route maps......and I called my mom......she knew someone...."
(To self): Sure no problem, I just recharged for you to finish it.

For those benevolent people who thinks I shouldn't whine about doing a small favor and making someone's day. A flashback -

Aforementioned person walks into our room. Zaapp! Like an uninvited genie popping up and asks my roommate -
"I need to use headphones"
"Sorry, I don't have it"

She spots what she was looking for in the shelf. "There!" prepares to take them off from the shelf. My smart thinking roomie (bless her heart), interrupts -

"thats my roommate's and I don't think she'll like it"
Guest: "here, I brought mine. Keep this instead" (Note: she brought her own headsets, for replacement)
"no, really.."
"Okay, I'll wake her up then?" Thanks to my roommate, she didn't.

But she did turn up every 15 minutes to see if I was up. Much to my regret, I did wake up sooner that I intended and her internal radar picked it up. Genie got back I gave it to her. After some hours, I walk to her room.

"Hey, I need 5 minutes, I'm talking to my dad"
"uhh.. fine then. Just give it to me when you're done."
"why don't you use mine?"
Wrong question. I counter, "why don't you?"
"The sound, it doesn't go well with my lap".
"Too bad, but I'm going to be interviewed online. So.."
I was pleased with myself for coming up with that.
I see a sad face, with a disapproving look at me. "my father.."
"You said five minutes right, I'll come back in five. See ya!"

P.S: I read somewhere that cow farts contribute to global warming.

P.P.S: On an unrelated note, I have a new acquired habit of having gas troubles right when I walk past her door. Good-day, everyone!
