Living in Bangalore is like participating in a daily obstacle course of stupidity these days. It's like the city is hosting the World Championships of Not Using Common Sense. Day by day, it’s getting crazy in here. People are literally just straight-away stupid.
Picture this: I'm in the metro, following the line like some good boii. But no, here come the backline breakers, sprinting ahead like they just got the memo that the free WiFi is about to expire. They won’t even have the patience to let others deboard from the station (bs ghusna hai sbko).
On the road: Small Aile is there, and these morons either walk in the middle of the road or walk slowly like they are going to maaiyat. There is no way to even overtake them.
One day a couple was literally just standing in the middle of the fucking metro entry gate, and all other people were going from sides. I was literally at my fucking limits; I controlled the urge to ask them that whatever shit they're discussing, if that is a national concern, then it’s okay; otherwise, please fuck around on the side.
And what’s up with this throwing garbage on the road thing, literally every morning on the road, tons of food, spillage, and disposals of whatnot can be seen. God, please throw it in the trash.
Saw a kid throwing all biscuit packet he was eating on roadside, while waiting for bus. The uniform looked like that of a decent school.
When I asked them why they are throwing garbage on road, his mother went apeshit and asked me to mind my own business. Like it's my business. I pay taxes for my city to be clean.
Another story, saw a chapri couple doing khwabo ke parinde dance move while riding on bike. That too near cubbon park traffic. Saw them fall near traffic signal ahead
If I’m not in my formal uniform (while going to work), I’d love to give that mom a dose of reverse apeshit.
I am literally at my fucking limit now, and I cannot can anymore because of these dumbs. I’ve lost all the ability to can.
In an AC Volvo bus, an uncle was throwing some garbage. Wanted to tell him off but the person with me asked me to ssshh. I just glared and made snide remarks to my friend - educated and supposedly wealthy people can’t maintain basic civic sense. But obviously since I don’t know kannada it must have gone over the uncles head. 😭
I came to Bangalore for the first time a week before not getting what's special about banglore over that in my office (joined 10 days ago) everyone speaks kannad or Tamil and I am standing like an idiot in between 3 people... even if they know Hindi and English they speak kannada only knowing that I don't understand
I have faced this thing a lot in Pune with Marathis. But to my observation, in the corporate world, mostly Kannada people are speaking English. I can't say the same about the Tamils; they’re again hardcore like Marathis.
Yes..Kannada people know both Hindi and English but here they talk all the time in kaanda ..even when I sit for lunch with them they keep talking in kaanda and then they say that I am shy and silent
You know it's bad when Satan himself says how bad this shithole is
No Indian metro cities are livable. Expenses through the roofs, lack of common sense among citizens, pollution and 'chalta hai' attitude among service industry. At least, B'lore can boast of better weather. Delhi-NCR has worst of it all.
I have four quadrants of hate for each major cities.
@satan - as much as this is a rant, I felt good reading this. It’s good to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. Apathy and indifference are what will kill us.
In our small spheres we should do our bit and educate people. :)
Throwing garbage on the road is the worst. Absolutely no excuse.
Another small thing - at the airport after using the trolley / tray at security check scanner, leave it back in its place. How hard is that? Annoying as hell to see trolleys strewn around waiting for the worker to clear it or trays piling up. Cmon - clean up after use.
Wasting water is another pet peeve of mine - leave taps running in public places, water leaks and no one bothers to report or shut the tap. Tragedy of commons at its best.
People use public toilets and are seriously not flushing them. Also on the escalator, they’ll stand in the middle, etc. These are common things; they seriously need to stop being douchebags.
Honestly it amazes me everyday I step out into traffic in this city.

Why are people so irritable so easily? When did patience & kindness leave the city ?
Fights in the metro, fights with auto drivers, rapido riders getting it for just riding.
It's so sad to see the city slowing but surely going to shit.
I've been living in Bangalore for six years, but today made me seriously question my sanity. This city, with all its quirks, tests your patience every single day. Here is what happened to me last month.
I left for work at 8 AM that da...
If Mumbai hasn't why will Bengaluru. You will keep living a life of cockroach but Bangalore will continue to grow
Moreover the organisations also don't try to understand and make it mandatory for us to come to the office.
India* is about to fail. India will collapse under its own weight. All cities will soon become unlivable. We are 1-2 ...
Bangalore is at its downfall, and the biggest reason are their natives( not all) who never accepted people from other...
