Threatened by Garbage Collector

Reported on December 10, 2012 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #31102

Hi,
I am not very happy to write this, but paying a bribe has gone to such a pity state, that i want to voice it out.
I stay in Bikasipura, near ISRO layout, and there are BBMP household waste pickers, who come to every house to pick the waste.
These waste pickers demand bribe to collect waste from households.
I refused to pay them because they are doing their job, and obviously because I dislike to pay a bribe.
The supervisor of these waste pickers had asked the wastepicker (who did not know kannada) to shout at me and my husband for not paying, and SHE ALSO THREW OUR WASTE COVER BACK INTO OUR HOUSE. How disgusting that can be!

My husband was so upset with this, that he wanted me to give up and pay them, but I still refuse to do that.
We live in a country like India, where waste pickers have also started harrassing us for a bribe.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
