The old story of planting the invisible sapling

The government had assigned a job to three people to plant saplings in some area. A guy had to dig a hold, the other had to place the sapling and the third guy had to put water and fill up the hole.

The guy who was placing the sapling in the hole was absent one day.But the guy who digs and the guy who fills the hole were present. They just came to the site, dug the place and were closing the holes repeatedly.

Typical mentality of getting the work done without knowing why we do it.

  1. More fresh Indian scenarios:

    Typical one is asking the address proof for mobile no. registrations. they just go by the books...hence, if you show them a fake address, it is OK if the address specification is upto the rules. But if the proof is some college id or something even though it is genuine, it will not work as it is not in the rule book of the poor fellow!

  2. I wanted an account in HDFC bank. The guy prefers passbook of another bank account as address proof rather than my hostel allotment letter...Idiot doesnt realise that if the previous address is fake.

    We people simply refuse to think.
    It is just a get rid of the responsibility mentality
