Cheating Cheating Everywhere....

Things happen to me in such a way dat I do get cheated very often. Might be bcoz I am not dat aware or bcoz I am an easy prey....In malayalam there is a saying, "Only when you allow people, they can cheat you" might be truee!!!!

                     This was a very recent incident. Last Friday I and my husband went to the market and entered the fish market. We went to each section and in one section was a heap of Mackerel Horse. We could see it was so fresh (by the way now I could differentiate :D). The man there even showed us the gills, one should notice that these fishes were facing the customer, the ones that were fres. So happy we bought the fish, I did notice him taking fish from the other end (i.e. the side facing him). We people too ignorant, bought the fish home.

       Then we made our way to the Vegetable market. Here we were allowed to select things, put those in a plastic cover and hand it over to the man there, he will weigh it and put on the bill. After handing him the parcel, we saw him adding extra vegs than we had selected, we thought it is because u need to get a round figure while calculating the money. We bought the veggies and arrived home.

                        First opening the fish was a shock, he had not kept those fresh fishes at all. Next was the veggies cover, oops those vegs that the man selected were either half spoiled or rotten :(...

                      I have heard stories of cheating in friut markets were, we'll be selecting the fruit, the man gets them goes down with the fruits to take a newspaper or a cover to pack them, he hands over the fruit and u come home to find rotten ones.
