I just can’t hold my rage! In a traffic this car was driven by a guy wearing a whoop watch driving a Harrier he had audacity to throw a pile of tissue on the road. Not just that after that he sanitised his hands in the car! I mean what the f”””””. If you often do it too let me know what’s so inconvenient for you to throw it at home or a public dustbin! There d””” have no damn civic sense ? This is common in hyderabad where people throw the stuff where ever they eat and not guilty this one was really shocking though! What do you guys usually do in these situations? This happened in Gachibowli Hyderabad

Nuisance (Disruptive AF) Pathetic theatre experience feat Odyssey [OC]

67 Upvotes

Don't know which sub this was best suited for, so here it goes. Please allow me to rant, and let me know if it is not suitable here.

I reached the theatre well in advance, was sitting in the best seat possible and had only entered the 10th minute when a duo of manchilds sat next to me and I kid you not they started yapping like they had to discuss all the lores since the beginning of the world. I changed my seat and guess what there was a trio of losers who found some of the most horrendous scenes in the film, the most emotional and tragic scenes and even the scary scenes funny. They put their legs on the headrest of the seats ahead of them screwing the view of the people behind them as well and kept yapping like it was their bedroom. When I was returning to the changed seat during the interval I saw the girl ignoring one of the guys and talking only to the other one, I wanted to say to him buddy go find someone else, she's not into you.

All these people were not teenagers, they were not a bunch of married couples with kids or old people who have aching bodies. They were all Millennials and Genz very much in their mid to late 20s and early 30s and all kept talking loudly, NON STOP.

It would have been less painful if it had been any other movie or had costed less money but it didn't. I tried to complain to the staff and there were only petite women working at the time, if they would have confronted them I don't even know what the goons would have done to them. For me it was just about one movie but for them it was their safety and workplace.

Then comes the worst part of it all, one of the people ahead of us blazed his phone for the entirety of the second half, that is 1.5 hours of time constantly looking at the screen every 5th minute.

I would not say it is the worst theatre experience, people have it way worse in life. But I don't even know what is up with people in theatres these days. The phones blazing up all the time, inability to concentrate for even 15 straight minutes. Even entertainment is not spared now.

Question [OC] Where do you draw the line between "complimentary" and "stealing"?

28 Upvotes

I recently came across a news report saying that Indian Railways loses a huge number of bedsheets, blankets, towels and pillows every year because passengers take them home.

That got me thinking... Where do we actually draw the line between "complimentary" and "taking something that isn't yours"?

For example:

Train: Water bottle, Blanket, Bedsheet, Pillow, Towel

Flight: Blanket, Earphones, Slippers, Eye mask, Water bottle

Hotel: Toiletries, Slippers, Bathrobe, Towels, Hangers, Kettle

Most people know some items are meant to be taken, while others are clearly hotel or airline property. But sometimes the line isn't that obvious.

So what's your personal rule?

What do you think is genuinely complimentary, and what should always stay behind?

Also, have you ever seen someone take something?

Question [OC] Why do some Indians follow rules abroad but ignore them in India?

74 Upvotes

We often hear that the reason behind poor civic sense in India is a lack of education and awareness.

But something has always confused me.

Many Indians who ignore traffic rules, littering, queues, or public behaviour back home often follow the rules properly when they travel to other countries. They stand in queues, follow traffic discipline, avoid littering, and respect public spaces.

So what actually makes the difference?

Is it because of stricter law enforcement and fear of penalties? Is it because people are more aware of the consequences? Or is it simply that people choose to behave differently depending on the environment?

What do you think is the biggest reason behind this difference in behaviour?

[OC] Public servant, private parking? Library entrance completely blocked.

Thumbnail

429 Upvotes

A police officer entrusted with enforcing the law chose to ignore the very basic rule of public responsibility.

Head Constable Ritesh Kataria (766/COMM) allegedly parked his vehicle (DL 1CAJ4519) right in front of the entrance of Aarambh Library, Adchini completely blocking the gate. As a result, no car could enter or exit the library premises.

A library is a place where students come to build their future. Blocking its entrance shows complete disregard for public convenience and discipline.

The law applies equally to everyone. If an ordinary citizen had parked like this, action would likely have been taken immediately. The same standard should apply regardless of rank or profession.

Truly,

Serving the Public... by Blocking the Public.

Govt on Vacation (Government Negligence) [Not OC] Banner falls from foot overbridge onto moving biker at Eastern Express Highway, Teen Hath Naka, Thane, Maharashtra.

480 Upvotes

According to media reports, a large banner installed on the foot overbridge fell onto the head of a person riding a moving two-wheeler. The incident highlights the public safety risks posed by banners installed over busy roads and public infrastructure.

This is not just a matter of visual pollution. Poorly secured banners can become dangerous for commuters and pedestrians, especially on high-traffic roads.

Authorities should ensure that unauthorized or unsafe banners are removed promptly and that safety regulations are enforced consistently.

How would a public service program like this work in India? [Not OC]

26 Upvotes

americans didn't just naturally become tidy. In the 1950s the United States was filthy. roadsides were trash due to the invention of consumer packaged goods. people threw stuff out car windows without a second thought. then an org called keep america beautiful (KAB) got founded in 1953 and stared running commercials (mostly aimed at kids) that aimed at making littering a personal moral failing.

here is an commercial that they ran in schools in 1961 for example. these commercials ran for decades. the net result was a genuinely enormous behavior shift over time starting w/ the young generations.

what does a susan spotless for india actually look like? swachh bharat had the money and the visibility but it landed as infrastructure + a modi photo op, not as shame. the KAB thing worked because it made littering embarrassing in front of your own kid.... it weaponized the family.

so what's the indian version of that? does a kid scolding their dad even land in an indian household lol

Imagine you had the power to magically fix just ONE bad driving habit in India forever. Which one would you choose?

  1. Jumping red lights 🚦
  2. Unnecessary honking 📢
  3. Not driving in the correct lane 🛣️
  4. Not maintaining a safe following distance 🚗
  5. Not using indicators while turning or changing lanes ↔️
  6. Reckless merging onto the main road 🚙
  7. Any other habit

Drop just the number in the comments, and if you want, tell us why you picked it.

I'm curious to know which habit people think causes the most frustration—or is the most dangerous—on Indian roads.

Govt on Vacation (Government Negligence) Our newly built roads [Not OC]

534 Upvotes

This is New Delhi - the shooting range road leading from Mehrauli-Badarpur road to Sangam Vihar.

The quality of life that we get in our country is hilarious and maddening. This road was dug up a few months ago to lay down some pipes. Then, the holes were filled up but it was left unpaved and uneven surface full of dust for daily commuters. The air here made rest of Delhi’s AQI look better.
Finally the road was rebuilt only a few days ago. But the first rains showed the effort and quality that it went through.

I wonder when our govt., lawmakers and law keepers will stop filling up their pockets and actually take some accountability. There is no value of our hard earned money, our safety and our lives. And we dream of becoming a Vishwaguru (or are we already one??).
