Airport Bribe
I landed on a flight from kuwait carrying a keyboard in a cardboard box. The keyboard itself was about 8 years old, and there was no way I could have retained a receipt for it.
As I was leaving the airport, a police officer at the exit stopped me and said" Either you get it opened by the customs or you pay me something". I protested and asked went to the customs officers, offering my explanation. He refused to hear it, and he said he wanted something from me. When I offered him Rs. 500 just to get the **********out of there, he remarked, " You're from Mysore, Don't you have any Standard"?, as if to suggest it was not enough. I felt the most exploited and humiliated on that day.
