Some people from India have 0 civic sense.

Just a rant!!!

I’ve lived in this building in the USA for the past six years and never had an issue like this. The building here is made of woods not concrete, so people have to be mindful about talking and walking and running at the place. Recently, a couple with their son and daughter moved in downstairs, and since then, the entire building’s life has become a hellhole. They walk and stomp around their place like crazy, shaking the whole building, including other neighbors’ TVs and furniture. This starts the moment they wake up and continues until sunset.

My other neighbors, who are American, tried talking to them, but these people have zero English skills and don’t understand basic English. So, all these neighbors started coming to me for help. I’ve tried talking to them four times. One day, the husband came to my place and started shouting in Gujarati. I said, “Please speak English; no one here understands that.” It ended with me calling the police. My poor neighbor who works the night shift hasn’t been able to sleep for weeks because these people talk so loudly and stomp all over the place. It’s gotten so bad that other neighbors have started calling the police too. Keep in mind that here in the USA, it’s a civilized country—you can’t do much beyond talking, understanding, and being mindful of each other unless rules or laws are being broken. Even after speaking nicely 4-5 times and involving the police, these people still don’t get it. They talk so loudly that my wife, who is Gujarati, says she can hear their personal conversations about how much money they owe others.

One day, the South Indian family living downstairs told me that the new neighbors are spitting some red substance (paan and gukha, vimal) onto their balcony. It smells awful and could be a public health issue. Even their little daughter complained that these new people constantly spit red onto their balcony. I’ve seen the guy spitting a few times myself.

These people have zero English skills and zero civic sense. They come to a foreign country and start disrupting the lives of the natives. My American neighbors jokingly told me they’re mad at me because “these are my people.” I said, “I’m sorry, dude, I tried talking to them, but they won’t understand—they have no civic sense.”
