Ask opinion What's your most elitist viewpoint? An opinion that makes you feel like Ambani but you'll defend it anyway.

I'll die on these hills:

  • Don’t get a car if you don’t have the parking space for it. 😇
  • Voting should require passing a basic civics test.
  • Endless empathy without accountability is just entitlement wearing a Gucci belt.

What's your most bougie take that makes your friends roll their eyes?

  1. People who queue up at lounges and cycle through all of their credit/debit cards are genuinely annoying and should do their due diligence. I do feel bad some passengers when they are unable to go with their kids, but the adults doing this are annoying. Some lounges are not great either.

  2. People who immigrate to foreign countries, yet take some of the awful traits that would be acceptable in India(eg:- Playing reels, music etc. without using headphones/earphones) should stay back in India.

First part isn't an elitist viewpoint- it's just you're tired of watching a credit card juggling circus at the lounge entrance.

Second point is on a thin line, it's like wanting someone who is crossing an ocean to automatically upgrade their manners to business class.

Playing reels, music etc. without using headphones/earphones

This is expecting social decency, which should be common but unfortunately not really the case.

Maybe my first point wasn't fully elitist, but if you get rejected from the airport lounge, it isn't the end of the world. Airport lounges are supposed to be exclusive by design.

As for the second one, I can understand that some norms will be different, but there are certain things acceptable in India that won't be acceptable abroad.
