Got called BATAMEEZ yesterday for not giving up my lower berth.
A little background - I am a 23f and I recently decided to visit my Nani coz it's been a long time since I've met her. But while I was here, I met with an accident because of which the doctor had to remove my toe nail( I still have the dressing). The area is still sore but I had to go back home coz of study commitments.
The train was scheduled to leave at 7:05 pm. So as I boarded the train I saw a middle age uncle and aunty occupying my seat. They had all their luggage on my berth too. They were probably around 45-50ish. My cousin was there to help me with the luggage and stuff, so he informed them that it's my seat and that they should make space for me.
They were like very sweet at the first instance. They made space for me and then started talking to me and him. Asked what we do, where we are from and stuff. Now as it was the time for the train to leave so my cousin left.
After about 20-25 minutes, that uncle tells me - 10 minute me na upar chal jana. Yes, he didn't request me he straight up ordered.
I obviously heard him the first time but dumb me didn't know what to reply so I said kya bole uncle?
He repeats himself again.
I said- hum toh nahi ja sakte mere pair me chot hai dard ho raha upar nahi chadh payenge. ( He asked about it already when my cousin was here ki kaisi lagi kaha lagi)
Uncle insists again- Chadh jaogi beta itna upar nahi hai dekho na aunty itna chadh nahi payengi. ( Are bhaiya aunty ko upar bhejna kyu hai aap jao na upar, mind you they already had a lower berth and one upper berth)
So I said nahi uncle sorry hum nahi ja sakte.
Uncle goes like- try Karo aunty nahi na ja sakti dard hai.
I straight up said sorry uncle and got busy on my phone.
Aunty goes crazy now. She tells me - wo sab thik hai lekin tum aise kaise baat kar sakti ho? ( Dude what did I even say? I even said sorry so I was being nothing but polite)
I kept mum and ignored them.
Aunty goes like aaj kal ki ladki poori batameez hai bado ki izzat nahi karte ulte jawab dete are nahi jana toh bol do batameezi kyu kar rahi. Pta nahi maa baap ne kya sikha kar bheja.
I lost it when she said maa baap wali line but I still tried to be calm coz I knew no one will take my side instead they'll blame me. I've had my fair share of experience with these uncle and aunties.
I think what pissed them off even more was the fact that I didn't answer back and acted to be all busy in my phone.
That's when uncle called me batameez ladki.
They kept murmuring throughout the journey so I couldn't even sleep at night.Thanks to my bestfriend coz she stayed on call this whole time and made the journey bearable.
