The man further claimed that everything feels like a “negotiation” in Bengaluru, while things were rather warm in Mumbai.“Every small interaction here feels like a negotiation. Auto drivers, packers, old tenants,” the man wrote. The Mumbaikar further claimed that he feels like everyone

wants to “squeeze” something out of each other. To justify his view, he also shared an example: “In Mumbai, a cab driver sees it’s hot and just turns on the AC. Here, you have to ask for it like it’s a personal favour. That tells you everything.”The post immediately went viral, pulling all kinds of reactions.
