Sometimes I am ashamed to be seen an Indian. The title says that, I want to ask as an Indian who also lives abroad to the indians who live abroad too, why can't you guys understand that your behaviour is seen by everyone.
Yesterday I came from a flight from Munich to Delhi (now it's not about north or south, i will post it Delhi subReddit too since the flight was for Delhi) my flight was delayed by 8 hours but i swear I didn't even get close to being pissed but it changed I started seeing the people who will board the flight, flight experience is on another level.
I will say that in points so it is easy to read.
1.) All I was hearing loud Indians shouting their throats out while the other side of the airport was fine.
2.) People were blasting their instagram reels on full volume.
3.) Breaking queues while others waited for hours just to be behind a guy who doesn't have basic human etiquettes.
4.) I never believed the stereotypes about stinking Indians because I never crossed them, but it changed. Is it too hard to carry a deodorant?
When i when boarded the flight
5.) Immediately there was a panic because people started sitting on seats which weren't theirs' because they wanna sit with their fam…meanwhile others are getting pissed and foight attendant had to come and fix.
6.) One guy asked for chocolates 7-8 times and even gave his meal twice, yes she didn't say no because she cant but i could see that on her face. What's the obsession with free stuff? All i am saying is that doesn't leave a good impression
7.) Women besides me, kept all the hand-rest space for herself and was so ignorant when i tried to take a bit of space by again forcing her elbows in. And also i was asked to change my seat (i didn't)
8.) She took her shoes and the stench was so horrible that me and the guy(from Slovakia) beside me woke up and couldn't complain because it's just rude. I went to attendant and asked for a different seat but the flight was full and she said "yes we have problem with smell in this flight" gave me a balm to rub on my nostrils so that i dont smell. Thats what they use.
9.) While picking up the luggage a member of helping staff was helping a disabled lady and she was trying to see her luggage but people are sooooo ignorant and started blocking her because they want to go first.
Now I see why my friend takes business class, i will do the same.
All I am trying to say in this post is, if you are an individual who behaves like that, please understand everyone notices it, people are just too nice to point it out. You all are representing India so please behave like a human being.
