I wonder if there is a God of Problem Clients. A sub deity responsible for creating difficult people, sent to wreak havoc in our professional lives. You know the ones I’m referring to, right? The ones who refuse to pay even after getting the work done, the ones who always haggle – for them, the price is never right, the ones who are never satisfied – I’m talking about endless reiterations, the ones who can’t make up their minds, the ones who have absolutely no boundaries – they’ve paid you and that makes you bonded labour.
We have all encountered one or all of these types in the course of our lives.
I, for one, have been dealt more than my fair share and I’m thinking of putting forward a complaint. But to whom? Is there a judicial commission for Gods? Like a heavenly version of a consumer court where one could file complaints? Or does Brahma have a cosmic helpline where one could complain about a member of his team? I need to tell him to stop sending problem people my way and let others benefit from his generosity. Others need a turn while I need a break.
Are you also one of the chosen few (like me)? Maybe we could start a prayer group – chant mantras or bang utensils – whatever works. Our thali banging got rid of Corona, didn’t it? Maybe this would work as well?
Better a utensil than someone’s head.
