SENSITIVE : Long story.. short!

So a few weeks back one of my friends was going back to his house after having a few beers at our place. He was riding his bike and just a few meters away from his home he got caught by cops and was asked to blow into the breathalyser( the alcohol tester). And the reading turned out to be 42, two units more than the permissible limit of 40. They sacked his bike and told him he has to go to court, pay the fine and only then the bike will be released. Our friend called us and told us what had happened. Me and my fiancé went to the police station to see what the scene was. They told the same thing and when we asked why they let other drunk people go and if we can see their test results, the cop was like , the machine switched off and we couldn’t take the test for other people or some shit(apparently there were people not even able to stand properly and were let go, a/c to our friend) My fiancé was hell bent on asking why they only had seized our friend’s bike and no else’s vehicle and I tried to stop him from getting too involved as the argument started heating up and it wasn’t going to help anyone at this point. Fast forward to few days, there was no online challan for his bike still and the cop tells our friend that he needs to pay them in the police station itself that too CASH. Not online. They said once you pay us cash, some OTP will come and you can share that next day in the station. It did seem fishy but the bike was just lying outside the police station and the process wasn’t getting started. And we told ourselves out loud “let’s trust the police and not over think things”. After a day or two these guys went and paid off the cop 13k ( 10k is drunken drive fine btw and 3k for some other shit they took) with no physical record of that transaction. Our friend still awaits that OTP from the station :/ P.S. few lessons from this to the readers: Firstly, please don’t drink and drive as you’re putting a lot of lives at risk. Secondly, if you’re caught for a drunken drive case, know that cops can’t take spot fine for it, only in court this can happen, is what I know( if this OTP thing is true do let us know in comments if you know any cops or if you are one) Also all suggestion are welcome on how he could have handled it better because police wasn’t proceeding with the challan and the bike was going to stay stuck forever there outside the station. Thanks for your time!

I know sometimes we refrain from saying too much about our company. But exes can usually be talked about, since there's not much holding back. Maybe it helps someone else avoid a mistake you did, or gain a new learning :p Shoot.

What is wrong with people based on this news I saw 1. Why has any other girl not helped her 2.Is the the psycho and out of mind to go and kill someone 3. Will the police arrest him soon and such is our justice system, it would take I don't know how long for proceedings. 4.landlord would ask for resume and linkedin before giving flats but safety is totally neglected. https://www.indiatoday.in/india/video/bengaluru-pg-murder-cctv-2572282-2024-07-26

Last Friday I went on a date with a girl from Gurgaon and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I was apprehended by her brother's friend at Ambience Mall. How? We were having a milkshake from Keventer's where some guy randomly pops out and starts enquiring about what we were doing. The thing escalated and he said he will call police. I got scared. Then he motioned for someone, and that guy started misbehaving with us as well. It was becoming very stressful and I asked , "Tum chahte kya ho?" He was like, "Mhaare doston ko bhi thoda Milkshake Wilkshake pilao bhai." (Get milkshakes from KLeventers for our friends too). I was like, "Huh?" He demanded cash and said that he will get it himself. I gave them all cash I was carrying, some 2500 rupees and ran away. I think the girl was in on it too. What should I have done?

It's gonna be long thread. I have been working as lead engineer in a early stage startup since last one year. Founder (20 years exp in Product Management) raised some money from friends & family to start it and but company was running negative from February and he put his money to pay employees salary for March & April and We were hoping for some investment in April but that didn't happen. During May & June, he was looking for funding more aggressively and even after having a good background in academics & top tech work experience in product management, no investor got convinced to invest in it. Our salary for March & April was delayed from actual payroll date by 7 days and 21 days respectively and We were expecting our May salary to be delayed by same period and our company was about to complete one year in first week of July so we had some one year benefits associated as well. But Boom, he invited everyone on call and tells that company will shutting it's operation from next day itself. And he will help us find our new jobs and he doesn't any clarity on pending salary. Although we knew, our company is not in good shape so salary cut or something might be happening soon but didn't expect this. Now, we have to find other jobs and also be unemployed while searching for job and also get exploited by other companies because we will be desperate to find jobs to pay our bills. I think, he did this just before 5-6 days of our one year anniversary just because he doesn't get legally bound to pay our one year benefits. I for sure, not gonna join any early stage in future who doesn't have enough funding. Just wanted to put this story out of my mind. Open for any suggestions you have for me Thank you

The whole lockdown is too much to go through and express in a single thread. So this is the first wave thread. Across this series of threads (wave 1 - 3), I, and hopefully more people will be looking forward to catch each others slice of life stories and look forward to the sequels over the next few days. Subsequent posts will also have a link to this post so more people catch on. Catch mine in the comments!

I live in Bangalore with 2 other flatmates in a popular society in Bellandur. This one night my flatmate started doing some Nashe because his Hinge date stood him up at the restaurant. I was like whatever. Who even cares about this. I had to go on a date with this girl I had been seeing for a couple of weeks. We went to Ironhill Bangalore and had a great time. She said that she wanted to see my society. So we went there afterwards and one thing led to another and we ended up in my room. The next morning when I woke up I heard someone scream. It was my flatmate who saw my date leaving and he started crying saying that she was the one who stood him up. I took him to his room to calm down. Tab tak she left. Later that day he started drinking a lot because of this and blamed his qismat. I did not know that he was drinking and I only came to know later. That was a big mistake for me. I had to go on a trip the next day so I was busy packing. I asked him to get me 10,000 cash from ATM while I would go to get printouts of papers I needed in my village. He took my wallet and left. 2 hours later. He came back home and gave me the transaction receipt. Apparently, he kept the transaction receipt in his left pocket and ripped up Rs. 10,000 ke notes in full Nashe and threw them away thinking that it was the reciept. I slapped him so hard that day and asked him to vacate the flat. Made him sleep on the bloody footpath that night. AITA? What else could have I done?

Another day, another assault #WaitingForKWarriors
