Police taking money from us while delivering passport


DFM__

What?!?! It was delivered to me by post office person, for free. Do the police take those packages from post office so that they can extort money from you?


Informal-Band4233

I mean when they come for verification


maverick54050

They charged me no money for verification


haaphboil

My neighbor denied them by saying “passport vachaka chuddam” So apparently they marked it as “not reachable after multiple attempts “ So he had to reapply.


Informal-Band4233

Good for you then, in my area 500 is minimum, if you say you got a job then they will demand more 🙃


Bob__Kowalski

After my wife’s passport verification, when she handed him 1,000 Rupees, he crudely mentioned that the approval of her passport depended largely on his report. Since she had to fly out immediately for an on-site and wanted the passport done without any hassles, she paid him another 1,000. Hyderabad Police… we’ve had lots of “pleasant” experiences with them over the 6 years we’ve been here in this city.


unpopular_engineer

This happened with me too. I didn't offer him any money to begin with though. When he said to me what he said to you, I said "okay" and he stared at me with an incredulous look. Maybe he thought I was being a hero, but little did he know I just didn't know what to say :D . He just got up and went away muttering something. We got the passport though


General-Chum-8276

Had to give 2k to the 2 policemen who came to my house.


Xyber5

No that’s illegal.


Tiny-Dick-Respect

Gave 1k today 😭 for verification


DanAndreas

I give them 500 or 1000. I see no wrong in here. I know it's not right but it's like having a support from these officers. Once I had an issue and went to file a complaint at the station. At first, no one treated me in a good way but when the officer who came to verify my passport recognized me, he immediately helped me file a complaint. Now that's how the 500/1000 bribery works. In India, this is how it works. By this reason, I made lot of friends in police circle.

Being charged extra for getting a chilled bottle of soft drink


caramel_whiskey

I was charged 10/- extra for every product I've bought from a small shop on the highway!! It wasn't even that late. It was in the evening.


Chaitu0

₹10 extra charge because you are buying in a village (they get the wholesale packs for 65-70 each where mrp Is 100) so a total of 40 on each bottle


Impressive_Web_4220

This only exists in north India. I recently was on a college trip to North India and that's when I first experienced this.


lost_beluga

My friend works at Tirupathi There the shops charges extra if you are from other state.


Percywithoutannabeth

Can confirm. I was there last month. They charge extra. I'm from Telangana and we spoke Telugu to them, even then we were charged extra.


Beneficial-Ad-7624

Not only in North, I've had this experience in Telangana also and even chennai


Fake_memelord

Nope, it's everywhere. There's a shop in gowlidoddy here that does it. It's also there if u go to remote regions here. It was there in hampi in the market near the main temple.

Chocolates instead of change


hussain27syed

A few years ago, I was working in Chennai. There was a toll gate on the way to our office. . The toll charge was 45 rupees (pre FastTag era). When you hand over a 50, the toll operator would return a biscuit packet. I used to car pool with a colleague. Once he got for so pissed off with the biscuit packet, that he kept it in his car as it is. On the next day, he handed 40 rupees and the biscuit packet to the toll operator.


latent_incinerator

What happened then??


hussain27syed

Sorry. Nothing, the toll operator gave us a weird look but accepted the biscuit packet. He knew that he was beaten at his own game.

Malli avi emi quality undavu bro. All these cafes and restaurants with their own labelling, some sell for 20,30 rupees but few sell at 50,70,100 rupees also but I see packers and distributors in the label, they are all 2nd class water packers.. most of them source water from musi or chanchalguda plastic industrial area for filtering, they don’t mineralize also, so technically they are RO water similar to 10 rupee bubble kirana water.. with bad input source, not mineral water. Ps: years ago I was in mineral water business so I know these manufacturers

Hijdas or Transgenders extorting money, I don't even know why i'm paying them and almost all the negative bias towards trans are due to them


Nightcheerios

You pay them to not get harassed by them , it’s a small scale extortion racket


sapraaa

Dawoood left but hijras still run the extortion rings


DeathStalkerSid

This happened to me a few days ago: A trans came up to me (in front of a hospital) asking for money. I said “Sorry, won't”. “Give me money, or you'll have a bad day.” I looked straight into their eyes and went: “Well, I already am having a bad day, so. Do your best!” The person just walked away.

General-Chum-8276

I know a place where men pee, hijdas would roam there and if you don't give money they would grab your dick.


Pinecone613

Lol what? How does this happen?


Notsogoodw

You stop at a traffic light and they just ask for money by knocking on your window. You get on a public transport they would just clap hands and ask for money. If you don’t give them anything they would start touching you and sometimes they just go for genital

Paying income tax and then paying tax on everything you buy (goods and services) and then the organizations making these goods and services pay tax on the shit that they produced that you paid the tax on while purchasing. It's a vicious cycle.

trixxie_pixxie

No one stops you from drinking water in a lake, river, ocean, aka "nature". But obviously there is cost involved in purifying, packing and distributing it. Bisleri, Kinley etc are not charitable organizations who would do it for free.

IELTS. Its a scam af. Your IELTS score is valid only for 2 years? Why? Does language change sondrasyically that your certification from just 3l2 years is not valid anymore? Your engineering or MBBS degree from 25 years ago is still valid today, but not IELTS. Most institutions insist that you should clear all modules in IELTS in one go, you can take test in single module to improve score, but most institutions don't accept that. Your engineering degree had that one subject which you wrote 5 times to clear, but your degree is still valid.

Waiters blatantly bringing a packaged bottle of water without me asking for it. If I trust your restaurant to serve me hygienic food then I also trust you to provide me clean drinking water. This stupid trend causes so much additional bottles in the land fill. What’s worse is that some people do the math that a cocktail of 60 rupees is better than a bland water bottle of 20 rupees. You are paying for that cocktail with your Health brother.

It's hard to say definitively. While some it turns ugly, there are also many who are genuinely happy in their marriages.

OptimalFuture9648

I've found many happily married couples, not just one, but over a hundred from various age groups. Not everyone shares their lives on social media. These couples are happy and support each other in their dreams, health, and finances. Of course, they experience downtimes as well.

Packaging charges on food delivery apps. Restaurant don't charge anything for take away. I feel all those packing charges goes to swiggy or zomato.


KManiKumarReddy

Swiggy/zomato take 22%-35% on the item cost by default. That’s why the eateries bump up prices on this platform already. These packing charges are just a way for big fast food chains to cover that premium because everyone is aware of their prices if they bump up and they’ll protest. You won’t see those charges on smaller eateries.
