What Is It With Men From India?

Tweet

We have a number of men from India living in our building, which is fine but I have an issue with them for a couple of reasons. Not because they are from India but because they are arrogant and condescending and it's annoying! Last night, I was at the grocery store across the street when one of the younger men got in line behind me. There was a Latino man who was in between us and the Indian man pushed his way up and put his groceries on the counter/belt right next to this other man's stuff. I think the other man felt crowded and he picked up his groceries and moved to another line. When he did so, the young man from India said "Is he jealous of Indian man?" I told him no. Then, he said, "He not like man from India." I told him that his race probably had nothing to do with it. What I didn't say was that the people in this country don't usually like to be crowded and the Indian man moved into the other man's space. Then, he started doing it to me. I still haven't figured out why the man from India thought the other man was jealous. What an ego! The other issue I have is that I work in the hotel where I live and every time some of the Indian men come to the hotel, they ask if we have a room and if I tell them that we are full, they just grin and ask me "full?" as if I were lying to them. Then they turn around and say "no rooms?" as if that were going to make the room manifest for them. For some reason they think that if they say it often enough, I'm going to suddenly have a room available. Then, what really gets me is that since I've told them we are full, they think that I'll give a different answer to someone else so they send someone else in to ask me if we have a room. I've had them do this to me for two and three hours at a time. I think that men from India are under the false impression that women are stupid and that they need to repeat themselves over and over until we tell them what they want to hear. That's infuriating! Let me clue in all men from India...I have over 140 IQ so I'm not stupid and please stop treating me as such! I don't like being treated like I'm stupid and since I'm there to do a job, I'm not interested in being flirted with for the sake of trying to get around me. That's insulting and infuriating! The other thing that some of them like to do is come on to me or play games with me. There is this one young guy that comes to pay rent every week and he blows kisses at me and then he sticks only part of the rent under the window and after I've counted it and found that it's not all there, he gives me a few more dollars. I finally got angry with him a couple of weeks ago for doing this and he's stopped it. These men know their rent is due every week and every week one of them comes up to get the room key and I tell them that they can't have the key until they pay the rent. We do that because too many of them have taken the key and they won't pay rent and they will take off in the middle of the night without a word. We also charge them a different rate because they have cheated us so many times. We charge different rates for one, two and three people in the room and we have a three person maximum. Well, the Indian men ignore that and they bring in as many as five and six men to live in a small room. Since they are all named Singh, we know what to expect. They never tell us the truth about how many are in the rooms so we just started charging them more. The final thing I don't like is that they chop up meat on the floor and don't clean up well after themselves and every time they leave, the room is infested with roaches. Well, I fixed the guys living above me. I told them if I found one roach in my room, I would send the health department and an exterminator up there to deal with them. I haven't seen one roach so I guess they are being clean. Anyway, if someone out there could please explain why these men seem to think that women are stupid and men are jealous of them, I'd appreciate it. I don't understand the jealous thing at all. Any man who would live with four or five other men in one room is just plain weird to me.
