Ugh, this is so frustrating!

My dog just peed on a car tire parked on the road, and the owner went ballistic. They were super rude and yelled a bunch of insults, even though I'm a really responsible pet owner who always cleans up after my dog generally when he poops.

They kept calling me names and demanding I clean the tire with lizol. The whole thing left me speechless! She stood der until she got the pleasure of seeing an other human being clean her car and get some ego satisfied.

It's crazy how some people react.  Is this normal in Bangalore, or did I just encounter a particularly grumpy dentist?
This kind of negativity makes me wonder if the whole city is like this.  Maybe everyone's just stressed?
I have never experienced this is mumbai/kerala/chennai.
Why bangalore? 

Anyway, I just needed to vent about this bizarre experience.

Ugh, this is so frustrating!

On a recent episode of Nikhil Kamath, he says “Bangalore is famous for nice and welcoming people”. This is so very true to a large extent. Every city however has some outliers who tarnish the image by going extreme. 

I have seen a lot of posts on GrapeVine complaining about Bangalore and their people. People should understand that every native resident of a city carries a profound sense of connection and endeavours to uphold the cultural heritage of their hometown. And what better way to preserve heritage than to safeguard language ?  This is the reason I believe most non Hindi speaking cities try to impose their language on outsiders. 

All said and done, I feel language should never be imposed but at the same time it shouldn’t be ridiculed either. I’ve seen a lot of “Kannada” hate post and is disheartening to see it.

And lastly I appologize to all those who have had negative experiences due to a few troublemakers. 

TL;DR : Bangalore is a lovely city with warm and welcoming people.

I've been living in BLR all my life and been living in Gurgaon for about 4 months now because of company transfer. I thought BLR was bad until I came to Gurgaon.

1) The complete lack of apathy and compassion is off the charts here. People are so individualistic and small issues turn into huge fights. One example being a guy in a Fortuner hit my Hyundai hatchback from behind and screamed and made a scene when it was his fault and the guys all around supported him, I knew limited Hindi and I had to pay money to get the hell out of the place.

2) Climate and pollution: No words here. Extremely hot and polluted.

3) Rents have almost reached BLR levels or more 

4) infrastructure: I thought BLR infra was shit but roads are non existent here and streets get water logged and stays waterlogged for 10 hours even after rains stopped lol.

It feels like a dead City with no life, depressing and a concrete jungle.

Living in Gurgaon makes living in BLR seem like heaven

I was standing near Whitefield in my 4 wheeler around midnight, just away from the hustle bustle of the fast life, smoking a cigarette and had a beer 1 hour before the incident (beer can was present in the car) when a police Jeep stopped and asked me to come out. 

They checked my entire car (to find more illegal drugs 'read Marijuana') but didn't find anything. 

Started threatening me with the car seizure. 
When I asked them to do breath analyzer test as I was 100% sure of being in the permissible limit, they asked me to come to police station for the same after they issue me a challan. 

How can they issue a drink driving challan when I am not drunk and without a breath analyzer?
And started threatening me with 25000 rs fine plus car being released in 6 months plus more than a lac of rupees in lawyer cost. (Ofcourse bullshitting me)

They were doing the proper good cop bad cop tactic and I had to pay them 7k bribe just to get out of there. (Couldn't risk the whole court drama, couldn't afford time as I was roaming without the knowledge of my family and avoid anxiety to them and my car also has northern registration)


But is this justified ? 
Can we not even smoke a cigarette in our vehicle in this godforsaken city  ? 
Do we need to be mindful of the goons or the police ? 

Anyways, what is the best way to get out of such situations?

Honestly it amazes me everyday I step out into traffic in this city. 

1. Tempos, autos, two wheelers just parked where ever tf they want, talking to their long lost cousin by the looks of it. 

2.The random “hero” scooter dude who HAS to run the red light and almost take me out with him. 

3. Jaywalking, lol. What’s that here? As long as you can cross the road with your life be thankful. 

4. Lanes are merely a suggestion unless there’s actually a fucking physical barrier that prevents people cutting lanes. 

It’s pretty much tarmac chaotic dashing cars let loose. Idk how this city will ever handle the progress it’s supposedly destined to have.
