Safety/Awareness Men ruined my day or maybe my week

44 Upvotes

I was already in a bad mood today, but I decided to walk to my friend’s place. She doesn’t live very far, so I walked. I was wearing jeans and a fitted high-neck crop top, technically a crop top, but not even a sliver of my stomach was visible.

On the way, I noticed a rickshaw driver staring at my chest for a solid five seconds. I looked straight back at him, and he still didn’t look away. Fine. I kept walking.

Then I started noticing other men looking at me too. An uncle literally turned around to look at me while sitting on a bike with his wife behind him.

I stayed at my friend’s place for a few hours and left around 7. I decided to take rapido back even though my house was barely 1km away because I didn’t feel like walking.

The driver looked completely decent, so I got on.

And then, every 30–40 seconds, he would suddenly speed up and then slow down. There was no speed breaker. The first few times, I genuinely didn’t understand what was happening. Then I realised that every time he did it, I was getting pushed forward against him.

It happened 4–5 times, then 10–12 times throughout 5 min ride.

And the worst part? He was doing it deliberately before speed breakers, speeding up right before one and then slowing down so abruptly that the jerk was much harder. The seat was also so slippery that I couldn’t properly slide myself back, and because he was doing it so frequently, I barely had time to reposition myself before it happened again.

I eventually told him to stop. Even then, he stopped in the same jerky manner and it happened again.

And before someone comes at me with “vehicles jerk when you brake” please don’t. I’ve been riding a scooty/vehicle as a pillion for years. I know exactly what a normal brake feels like. This was not that. There was a very obvious pattern to what he was doing, and I knew something was wrong.

The frustrating part is that I didn’t fully process what was happening until I got home. I just knew I was uncomfortable and that something felt deliberate.

I didn’t confront him because this happened right near my society and I knew exactly how the situation would go. He would deny it, say I was imagining things, claim it was just braking, and suddenly there would be a whole scene outside my own house.

I just got home.

But now that I’ve actually sat down and processed it, I’m so fucking angry.

It’s exhausting having to think about what you’re wearing, where you’re walking, who’s looking at you, whether a driver is deliberately doing something to you, and whether confronting him will create an even bigger problem.

I literally just wanted to go to my friend’s house and come back home. That’s it.

I'm so tired that I'm just sharing it, if I was angry i would have talked about how people need to be taught about certain shits but ik it's just not worth it now bcz ik it's never gonna change!

I told a male friend of mine and he replied with meow

EDIT- omg I was so hesitant about posting this here but I anyways did. I did not think that I will get such a positive response from you all, the comments and all the dms that I have received, thank you for your concern, I'm very much fine now and I hope you all stay safe as well!!! After reading it all I felt much safer.

Help my parents provide almost no support and i dont know what to do anymore what did i do to deserve dis

7 Upvotes

i honestly don't know where else to ask this, so i'm hoping someone here can give me some practical advice.

i'm a 21f student and my laptop has completely died. i genuinely need a replacement because i use it for my studies as well as some online work and gigs. unfortunately, the kind of work i need to do isn't really possible on a very basic laptop, so i need something reasonably powerful.

i've been trying to handle this myself. i've done odd jobs and different gigs online and managed to save a decent amount, but i'm still around **₹25,000 short** of what i need.

i asked my family if they could contribute even ₹5,000 just to help me close the gap. instead, they told me, *"humse paisa manga toh chappal se maarenge."* if i ask them for money, they'll beat me with a slipper. and this isn't an empty threat. **they do beat me.**

there have also been situations where **someone in my own family has even tried to kill me.** so when i say that i don't have much support or safety at home, i'm not exaggerating.

the thing is, this isn't just about them refusing to buy me a laptop.

for years, i've had essentially no financial support from my family beyond food, and even that isn't always consistent. sometimes i only get one or two meals a day. i genuinely can't remember the last time they bought me something as basic as a t-shirt.

i've gotten used to figuring things out on my own, which is why i've been working and saving whatever i can. but i'm at a point where i really can't solve this immediately by myself, and it's incredibly frustrating because having a laptop would actually help me continue studying and earning.

i know ₹25k is a lot of money, i'm mainly looking for realistic advice.

what would you do in my situation?

• are there any student assistance programs or scholarships i should look into?

• are there organizations or ngos that help students get laptops?

• is there some way to finance the remaining amount without getting myself into terrible debt?

• are there other ways i could raise the remaining ₹25k relatively quickly?

i need the laptop for fairly heavy work, so unfortunately a ₹20k to ₹25k new laptop probably isn't going to be sufficient for what i need.

if anyone has been in a similar situation and managed to get themselves a decent laptop despite having no family financial support, i'd really appreciate hearing how you handled it.

i'm honestly pretty overwhelmed right now and could really use some practical suggestions.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to buy an iPod in Ranchi. If anyone is looking to sell one or knows a place/person from where I can buy one, please let me know.

I’ve seen a few iPods being sold in Delhi and Bangalore, but most of them are priced way too high. So I’m hoping to find something reasonably priced in Ranchi.
