Not such a gud day

Have u had one of those days where u just want to shake someone up..a conversation thats so ridicuous that u dont know what to say ne more..i generally dont like ppl with power and wht i hate even more is little people with power..little petty ppl who can make ur life a lot easier if they cooperated but choose not to simply because they can and so want to make thgs tough..so u can guess by now (incase u missed the title) that today was not such a gud day.

Now let me crib some more..and in greater details

some weeks back i lost my lil black wallet and with it my driving license, credit card, all debit cards and those loyalty shoppers (shoppers stop/pantaloons etc etc)cards as well..now u may ask why did i carry all of this everydy with me even though i clearly wud never need all of them at the same time..to that i will say - next question plz..then u may ask why did i not (like every other person i have come across since this incident) maintain a photocopy of these esp. the DL. To that my fren i will ..well not say anythg...i know i shd have..i thot i had..but i guess i forgot ..so the long and short of it is these days i am without ..a lot of thgs

So anyways more crying over spilt milk later...rite now let me update u with today's incident..so i wanted to get my DL made..and as always i want to bypass the agents..as a firm believer of 'not spending money uselessly on agents who do nothing of value anyway' i had decided that i will get it on my merit. So i went to the RTO carrying:
1. photocopy of passport
2. passport (for verification)
3. passport size pics (6)
4. glue
5. stapler
6. copy of my rental agreement (stamp paper and all) duly notarised by the ..ahem notariser ?

i buy the forms..i fill them out..i stand in the queue..i say no to 3 agents ..and then my turn comes..

the guy goes thru the docs..checks the stuff and then we have this conversation:

guy: this wont do
me: what wont do
guy: this ..shows me the rental agreement
me: why
guy: its a rent agreement
me: precisely
guy: it wont do
me (getting slightly irritated as this is happening in an open area outside the RTO and its hot outside): can u tell me why wont it do
guy: we cant accept this
me: why
guy: we are not allowed
me: (wanted to ask y..but decided on a new line of questioning) so wht can u accept
guy: points to the wall..a printout mentions docs that.. well.. i dont have :(
(the reader may wish to know that i have just moved into a new apartment and am not from this city so have no address proof other than the damn RA)
me: (now realizing losing my temper aint helping the situation) plz do somethg abt this..i have no other ..blah blah blah
guy: (in a nicer tone i think) get ur mobile bill
me: but thats of my old address
guy: then get one that has the new address
me: the mobile co. will accept the rental agreement as proof of address?
guy: yes
me: then why cant u?
guy: we are not allowed
me: (trying to get him to see reason) u r not accepting this (wave the doc in air for a more dramatic effect) rite now but the cell co. will and will change my address and that u will accept so why dont u save me the bother and plz accept this abhi itself
guy: procedure hai madam
me: okay

then i start looking for an agent ..i know ...i know..but i didnt want another wasted trip to RTO

agent: madam aap kp pehle aana tha
me: haan ..khair aap kitna loge
A: 700
me: WHT!!( first rule of haggling - always act surprised)
A: madam ander dena padta hai
me: zara reasonable ho
A..me..A..me later he agrees for 500 :)

then
A: u shdnt have gone and spoken to the officer
me: why not
A: woh govt. wale hain
me: toh
A: aapka kaam nahin hoga
me: ....
A: u give me the rental copy and i will get thgs arranged
me: yipeee(to myself :) )
A: par time lena hoga 15 din lagenge
Me: @#$%%$##
