The Maintenance Secy

Why would you touch the two red knobs at the rear side of water cooler? As a logical person, while taking water, you would press the button to fill your bottle and one your are done, you would switch it off and go to your room. What I don't understand is why you have to touch those two red knobs and tell the world they have problem in them? Similarly, one guy reports his cycle bell is missing from the cycle stand and other suggests him (while aptly cursing the committee that they wont help in this regard) to put up wireless CCTV camera to catch the thieves.  Also, one guy wrote in order to rectify a water problem that existed some time back in our hall, that he has written an email to CM of the state Ms.Mamta banerjee since this is an "international" issue. The list have so many other interesting cases to tell but I would stop..
We are mature, we are educated and we are sane. Then, why does it take so much to talk sense. I have realized, some people always have complaints for you no matter how much and hard you try to help them. Being a Maintenance secretary of our hall for 2013-14, I think I have learnt a lot about people psyche's and totally understand how it is to be at a responsible and authoritative place. Let me tell you, it is not at all easy so now I relate myself whenever I see people mindlessly blaming the govt. or actors or administration. It is very, very easy to comfortably sit in your room and throw an email vomiting your problems but how to solve it is a real game. You will have no idea what it is to play in mud until your hands are dirty.  In this whole year, I am sure many would have talked ill about me on the back, some think that I haven't done anything substantial but  believe me when I hear appreciation from some real genuine people that I was good and brought a change, everything else doesn't matter. And then it feels that you can not make everyone happy, for your own happiness you have to be real, genuine, true and little selfish.
