USo yesterday me and my friend went to a local police station as my friend’s father is shifting to a new job so they asked them to submit police verification.
So my friend said me to come with him to the police station. So we entered there and my friend said to the person sitting at the desk (without uniform) Uncle ji mujhe apne papa ka police verification bnvana hai. He explained the procedure and we understood that so as we were leaving by he said to both of us to come and sit.
And he asked ki konse class mai ho, I said uncle 12th paas hain
He then asked aaj tak school mai kuch pada hai uska kuch fayda?
I said uncle bhot kuch sikha pcm mai toh then he said nhi tameej wagera. He then continued ki agar aap kahi aur hote toh pehle aapko yaha se bhagate and kehte ki jaake muh dhoke aao.Basically he offended at us because we did not greet him.
We then asked our parents about it and they said that it’s your mistake. You should have some courtesy.
Even though we were too polite and said uncle ji and aap wagera .
So I need to ask if we were wrong? -
ULol….
Usual power trip, just get your work done and get out of there.
Also the dad is too busy to get his own police verification?

FNo, you guys were not in the wrong. Many elders and older individuals often demand unnecessary displays of respect and greetings. While it’s true that we should respect our elders and they do deserve it this particular situation seems unjustified. It appears there might have been some misunderstanding, and the person was seeking unnecessary validation for the help they provided. Politeness and respect are important, but they shouldn’t be used as a tool to assert dominance or make others feel inferior. You were already polite by addressing him as “uncle ji” and using “aap,” which shows basic courtesy. It’s unfortunate that he reacted that way, but it doesn’t mean you were wrong.

Uno whats wrong in saying a formal namste, hi, hello? a small initial interaction shows your confidence and most importantly gets your work done in any public place. its a skill. and sorry but he was right.

EIt’s like this. He wasn’t wrong; you should always greet first by saying hello, namaste etc. and say thank you at the end of any such interaction.
But he was wrong to call you back to him and unload on you like that. That’s just him being an asshole. The rest of his commentary about *bhagana*, face wash etc. was just him power tripping.

LThere is nothing wrong in what u said. This ” Sir Sir ” culture is such a stupid thing in our country. You will be surprised to know even the highest cadres in govt still do this to satisfy their bosses. I am a Govt. employee myself. I understand it to some extent (Office decorum & All) but as with most things, it is taken to a undesirable level. Funny thing is, this exists even in private companies(not in software MNCs).
