A few weeks ago I got into a huge fight (full public scene) with an uncle at the darshini near my house. At the counter he cut in front of me in the line and, not wanting to make a scene, I simply turned to him and said, “there’s a line here” to which he snapped at me

“It takes nothing to follow basic social etiquette in public and maintain a default polite attitude towards strangers. I also knew he spoke to me that way because he saw I was a young girl and assumed there would be no consequences for his behavior as many creepy uncles do. So, I decided to confront him. I have a rule for public confrontations: never lose your cool, no matter what emotions are surging inside you,” she said
It really takes nothing to just follow basic social etiquette in public + have a default polite attitude to strangers. I also knew he spoke to me that way because he saw I was a young girl = no consequences of behaviour, for creepy uncles. So I decided to confront him

After he finished eating and reached the sink, Anushka went to him and asked why he was talking to her in such a tone. “He asked what my problem was and I thought it was just a basic matter, I don’t need to tell you. And whatever, you can’t talk to me like that.”
However, he turned their conversation into a “public scene” as she claimed he also started abusing her in Kannada, “after which my boyfriend loses patience and starts shouting back at him.
“Several other people in the restaurant became concerned at the same time that he began to feel “physically unsafe.” She left because she realized there was no point in continuing the conversation.
So when he came to wash his hands, I calmly walked up to him and asked him why he spoke to me like that. He asked me what my problem was and I was like bruh it’s just basic manners, I don’t have to tell you that. And no matter what, you can’t speak to me this way

“I didn’t go to Darshini for weeks ago because I felt like I was now a hysterical woman struggling. And I just didn’t want to put myself in a dangerous situation,” she said.
It got to a point where people stood up from their seats to spectate, other people are coming in to mediate and I’m beginning to feel physically unsafe. I decided to break it all up and leave the scene, there was no point to this anymore

However, Anushka ended up going to the same restaurant earlier this week and you can’t guess what she saw.
“I noticed they have a new sign at the counter. Do you remember what he said about there not being a sign that said anything about the toe of the line? Any guesses what the new one says shield?”
For Anushka, it was a big win: “I posted this only because it was a full circle moment and a personal W for me, but also a win for women standing up to rude uncles in public.”
This case is a reminder that fostering a sense of citizenship is essential because it promotes respect for others’ rights and space in public spaces. It encourages behavior such as standing in line, yielding, and not harming others.
