A Reddit user shared an unsettling experience at a bar in Bengaluru's Koramangala, where a rude encounter with two women left them feeling rather disrespected.In the post shared on the subreddit r/Bangalore with the title 'A small incident at a bar in Koramangala that still bothers me,' the user recounted the incident that occurred a few weeks ago when their brother visited them in Bengaluru.advertisementAlong with their brother, the Reddit user visited a bar in Koramangala and both had a good time discussing 'life, work, and everything in between'. Now, while their brother was going to the restroom, the user stepped out and noticed two women entering the bar.
As they had already moved aside to give them space, they were stunned when one of the women rudely gestured and said "hutt" - a dismissive way of telling someone to move, commonly used in Hindi.'This was the first time someone had treated me like that, so casually and rudely and it genuinely shook me for a moment. I wanted to say something, maybe ask her what her problem was, but I stopped myself. I didn't want to create a scene or ruin a peaceful evening with my brother,' the user said in the post.Though the user considered confronting the woman, they ultimately chose to let it go to avoid a scene. However, the user did admit that the moment continues to weigh on them: 'But honestly, that moment still lingers with me. I think about it sometimes and still feel sad, not just because of how I was treated, but also because I didn't speak up. Should I have said or done something? Or was it better to just let it go?'Read the full post here:
The post drew responses from several Reddit users offering varied perspectives - some empathetic, others philosophical.'Drunk people are not the epitome of civility,' a comment read, acknowledging that the user may have been too stunned in the moment to respond.Another offered a more clinical angle: 'I think more than the incident itself, you are emphasising how that situation has stuck with you because the latter could pave way for a lot of questions.'Some suggested that the user made the right call by walking away: 'Letting it go was the right thing to do. The alternate would have just spoilt your evening and your brother's.'And then came the brutally direct advice: 'Move on mate. Don't give inconsequential people like these unnecessary time and space in your universe.'- EndsMust Watch
