Among all innovations, our favourite is the slap. It's quick, always always shocks a person out of his or her stupidity and most of all, it's super effective. Remember how a common man, frustrated with the soaring onion and tomato prices, slapped Sharad Pawar two years ago? Pawar was the Union Agriculture Minister at the time. Recently, another common man sprung into some slapping action and gave one to Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda across his face at a public event in Panipat. Another political figure to be slapped recently is AAP MLA Dinesh Mohania. A woman walked up to the MLA and slapped him when he was visiting his Sangam Vihar constituency. Mohania had gone there to study the problem of water scarcity in the area. Even the new Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat started his tenure by slapping a Congress worker during a Press conference. Though Rawat says that it was a "pat on the cheek" and has been "misinterpreted as a slap", we will never know what actually happened. Does a slap make the world a better place to live in? Probably not, when it comes to thick-skinned political leaders - they need much more than one tight slap. However, it might work like a charm on the common people, since it is their way of teaching others a lesson. There's no harm trying, right?

Imagine if we could slap annoying people, who would then slap more annoying people and spread the good word 'quit being a jerk if you don't want to be slapped.' There are plenty of people we meet on a daily basis who we have secretly wished to give one tight slap to. That one aunt in every family who can't stop asking you about your marriage plans, that annoying Facebook friend who floods your timelines with 'share with 10 friends for everlasting happiness or die within 24 hours' forwards, that guy who jumps queues, people who adjust their wedgies in public...the list of annoying people who deserve the wrath of your palm is endless. Here is a list of 19 types of people who deserve that ONE TIGHT SLAP. Beware! If you're on the list.

The aunt who asks you when you'll get married: There's one in every family. You're 22 or you're 29, the 'when will you get married' question is all that this aunt can think of

The friend who asks you when you'll have a baby: It's been two years since you got hitched and you're in no hurry to start making babies already. But, there are some people who just cannot understand why.

The 'perfect' Facebook friend: She's (he's) got it all. The perfect job, the perfect salary, the perfect house, the perfect partner and even the perfect selfie. Man, slapping such a person would be the best stress buster.

People who constantly share quotes on FB: Don't you just hate those Facebook friends who cannot stop putting Oscar Wilde quotes as their status messages?

The people who send forwarded jokes: You get to here the same joke from your FB friend, your Twitter contact and your chai buddy. Knock knock, we uploaded the joke first.

The 'Share with 10 friends for everlasting happiness or die within 24 hours' guy: Oh God! These kinds are by far the most annoying kind. It's one thing to share crappy posts on social media, it is just a whole new level of bad when you threaten someone to share too.

The queue jumper: This person is incorrigible. Be it washrooms, movie ticket counters or getting into the metro, this sneaky person has cannot stand in queues. And, we cannot stand that anymore.

The cribber: 'I have a headache, I have too much work, I can't sleep, I don't have good clothes to wear...basically, my life sucks.' This person cannot stop cribbing about whatever is going wrong with his or her life. The glass is always half empty for this one.

The latecomer: If you know that there is so much traffic to drive through, leave early. But, this person never learns. Even the 15 millionth time, he would have the same excuse for reaching late - 'there was too much traffic'.

The couple that 'Likes' each other's photos on FB and RTs jokes: These kind of couples need to make separate profiles for their mush fest. Seriously! We are sick of them pressing the 'Like' button for every photo of each other and retweeting every little, silly thing they say.

People who don't know how to talk to waiters: This kind of humans deserve at least two tight slaps. They have no manners and believe that the world is at their service.

People who adjust their wedgies in public: Humans like these have one thing in common. They believe they are being very discreet about their shameless act. Guys, you're in public, someone is always watching.

Dentists who ask you questions when you're in their chair with your mouth open: Seriously. What's with dentists who start asking you questions about college or your workplace just after they've administered the anaesthesia to extract your wisdom tooth?

People who say that you don't sweat in dry heat: Yes, dry heat means that humidity is less. But, it hardly means that you won't sweat when that whiff of hot wind hits your face.

People who let slip the ending of a movie: How many of you watched The Sixth Sense knowing that Bruce Willis was a ghost too? Don't you just hate those people who spoil it for everyone?

People who blow smoke in your face and do not apologise: Yuck. There is no excuse for this species because they can always turn the other way. Moreover, sorry doesn't seem to be in their vocabulary at all.

People who answer rhetorical questions: Yes, there are these kinds too. Can you believe that?

People who stare at your food and say, 'are you going to eat THAT?' You'd been waiting for 20 minutes for that bowl of your favourite comfort food. It arrives and automatically teleports you to a heaven-like place. You reach for that fork almost drooling when your friend says 'are you going to eat THAT?' Appetite killed.

People who 'like' sad Facebook updates: Who 'likes' status updates like 'I'm too sick to go to work' or 'My favourite roommate just moved out of the house; feeling lonely.' Slap, slap, slap!
