What you posted reminded me of some funny old stories from back in the day: During the late 80s at that first job I mentioned, I remember this other young guy there (an apna too, who was a couple of years older than me), he used to smoke hash hardcore, but he was cool.
Anyway, some of the older blokes in the warehouse lived 'on premises' and in the evenings (after the warehouse closed) would have the typical drink 'session' now and then (it was a booze warehouse). This other young brother must have joined them one day and started to get stoned and plastered. Then he never came in the day after (which was weird) and when he did, he came to me all wild eyed and paranoid (he was generally like that from all the ganja I guess?), and told me that 'mad things' happened that night he had a drink up.
Apparently, some of the olders (who were mostly married and not at all camp - they were very masculine and mad fighters actually - and known for it), must have misread this young guy and thought he was up for some backdoor partying causing him to flee the warehouse in alarm! lol
That's how it goes. They sorted it out as a 'misunderstanding' afterwards but......
Same firm, a few years later, and some Pakistani family have persuaded the bosses to give their confused, camp a55 son a job there. Presumably to de-gayafy him in that hyper-masculine environment? But he'd bowl around the warehouse topless, mincing about saying things like 'Tu mery bh**d maar ne aa?"
He went missing for a few days too. When he came back he was all subdued and wasn't saying what he'd been saying previously. The story doing the rounds in the warehouse at the time was that some older sardar (he was from backhome, an archetype Jut uncle, big, greying beard, mooch vhut, hardworking as hell - I thought he was a nice guy myself), grabbed him in some quiet area when he kept saying what I quoted above, and the sardar stuck something up his jacksy, warning him next time he said what he'd been saying, he'd actually get what he wanted.
I think there is a lot more gandu action going on in the community than we'd imagine. And from people we'd least imagine it from.
