A young woman recently bought a new car and drove to a petrol pump to fill it up. She asked the attendant to add 85 litres of petrol. After fuelling, the payment slip showed 85 litres, but her car’s meter displayed only 83 litres. When she questioned the difference, the staff claimed her new car’s meter was faulty. An argument broke out and they asked her to leave or they would call the police. Instead, the woman called the police herself. In the presence of the police, they drained and measured the petrol from her tank — it was exactly 83 litres. She had been charged for 85 litres (a difference of just ₹500). The woman filed a complaint, and after investigation confirmed the tampering, authorities suspended the petrol pump’s licence for 7 days.

A man earns 1.2 crores per annum in Mumbai. His job is high pressure, long hours at a SaaS startup. He has employed a maid & cook at home. He takes care of all utilities, expenses, vacations, investments etc. His wife also works and makes 13 lakhs a year in an advertising agency. She spends this money on herself, and invests the rest. They have a daughter after 3 years of marriage. After her maternity leave is over, he asks her to leave her job (this was discussed before marriage), and take care of the kid. But, she takes a U-turn and refuses. He is even ready to give her a credit card for her personal spending, similar to what she did with her salary. She still doesn't agree. Now, they are forced to leave the kid with a nanny throughout the day. He isn't happy about it. Note that, none of their parents are alive, so the kid can't be left with grandparents. Now, everyday they are having fights over this. Even though his working hours are longer, she tells him her work is equally important, and that he must equally contribute in parenting (at night). He says he is already contributing as he is bearing all the childcare expenses. She tells him, it's not about the money, it's about the time. He says, if he stays up at night, he can't work during the day. She gives the same logic. She taunts him if he is so concerned about the kid, why don't he leave his job and look after the kid. He taunts her back that he is okay to do so, but then she must earn the same as he earns. Then, they both get silent. After a few minutes, the wife starts crying, and says, why can't he understand why my job is so important. He asks her to explain why. She doesn't answer. He asks her back, that he can't understand why her work with so little salary is so important than taking care of their own child. It's illogical. I end the session and ask them to ponder on their questions and come back next time with answers. ladies, and gentlemen, what do you think they should do? #RealStory
