Every day we meet different types of people, some are new faces you come across and some are the regular ones. Some you know too well and some you just can’t predict anything about. So we have come up with the most common types of people you will meet or you have already met in your life, they can either be bliss with their presence or a pain!
#1 the over-friendly co-passenger
This one can sometimes be a rescue to your boredom when you have no company to travel with but after a point of time, this same rescue can be a strangling pain when they cannot just limit themselves and recite their life stories.
#2 competitive/jealous for no reason
How many times have you turned back and given death stares to that nose-poking prick behind you in the queue who wants to somehow go ahead of you and get the work done as fast as possible? Or what about those who are jealous of you for no valid reason? They are there in plenty when it comes to the people around you. Remember anyone?
#3 always lending the helping hand
No matter where you are, there exist good people too. Everyone has a good side and a bad side. When you are in trouble and have no known face around, you might have 100 people not caring about it but there might be a slight chance that one of the helping hands reach out to you to help you sorting out your troubles. God bless them! No you giving money to the beggar on the road doesn’t make you that person, you sly bastard trying to act well.

#4 eavesdropping chaps
We all do this at some point in our lives. And there are these rare chances where the in-conversation people might realise that you are all ears to them. Sometimes we are on the other team of judging too and not always the eavesdropper.
#5 the freeloaders
They never have the cash to split the bill or they always seem to have forgotten their wallets back at home or they are forever broke, yes we all know such people. What a buzzkill sometimes! Alan Harper anyone? Including Alan ‘cause I cannot include my friend’s name.
#6 Spendthrifts or Big-hearts?
They either have too much money to spend or just love paying the bill always, no matter what. The big-hearted ones just love settling cheques and wouldn’t ask a penny back. And then the ones who in spite of having everything will still buy something because they like it at that very second. *sigh*
#7 Story tellers
They never have their box empty when it comes to story-telling. They always have something to start with “you know what happened once,.....” and well they hardly ever stop with their tales.
#8 BBC
They know everything around you and are the loudest in the room. No, I am not just talking about the gossip, they are you personalized news channel who know all current affairs, celebrity stuff and so on. If you haven’t heard some news first from them then either they are dead, in coma or in isolation. Better check up with them!
#9 Too socially cordial
The socially active who have their activity traced on their social networking profiles and leave no stone unturned to celebrate it with the world, they may be a bit annoying but are enthusiastic when it comes to living each day of their life.
#10 Hyperventilating souls
It doesn’t matter how big or small the situation might be, they are the first ones to go in doom. They think they are always the target of bad luck and during difficult and complicated circumstances, they do not believe in the mantra of “keep calm”. They are the people who make panic attacks contagious.
I am sure you all might have at least come across some faint memories to have met one or all of the above. And for those who haven’t yet come across, wait for it, soon enough you might get to meet them!
