ETIQUETTE AND COURTESY
Virushka scolded a passerby for littering from a luxury car. Her husband Virat
filmed the episode and it went viral on social media. The culprit identified
himself on Facebook as Arhan Singh stating the garbage he carelessly threw was
way less than the garbage coming out from Anushka's mouth. His mother went
further as shaming her son was violation of his privacy! These are perhaps
highly qualified (I woudn't say educated) rich and well to do people. I am a
victim of such attitude daily when I politely tell vechicle drivers they are
wrongly parked or not stopping at the stop line etc endangering my and others
lives at the crossings. Although I am a senior citizen, I am either mostly
ignored, told to "shut up" or "mind your own business"/ rudely gestured to.
This by persons half my age or younger! The police just ignore as they
cannot/will not speak the only language culprits understand.The other day I
parked my vehicle off the road in Panaji. On coming back a car was parked so I
could not get out. I went to all the offices and shops in the vicinity and they
all said not my car. The owner eventually came and I told him I had an
appointment with a hospital and he has caused me great anxiety. He just drove
off without a word or any apology! Whither consideration and respect for others
time and problems leave alone the extreemely rare etiquette and courtesy.
