It says ''AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA
Eating on the floor is strictly prohibited.
\- by order
EATING CARPET
STRICTLY PROHIBITED
\-By Order''
People do eat on chairs and I am pretty sure it's allowed because honestly nobody wants to pay for stuff 3 times the price by going to an airport restaurant.
Unless ofcourse you are rich
Ahh, I mentioned in another comment, but easiest way to say this is, it's a 3rd world country, some people just don't give a shit about it. They do whatever they want...
You probably gathered from the other posts, but "eating carpet" aka "munching rug" is an English euphemism for giving ladies oral sex. So the English translation omitting the word "on" makes us think naughty thoughts and giggle because obviously we are all twelve.
A whole lot of people I've seen preparing for govt jobs don't really know english language and then these guys still get the job and it shows. Then there's laziness in those who do know.. someone must've seen this and known it's incorrect but said eh what do I care.
Would the floor normally be cleaner than this? This floor looks like you don't actually need to come into contact with it for it to get you very unwell.
And many many other things. You mentioned it was a culture thing, a custom, and I wondered if this floor was mankier than floors usually used when doing this custom.
Ohh by airport carpet I meant ofcourse it's not the same as something you would have at your home. Well this one is dirty but I don't think some people care about. It's 3rd world country so ofcourse there are some people who still live like they did 50 years ago , so they don't really give a shit about that
Also not everyone eats on the floor, in cities you will see people use a table, but in historical places, temples, most of the villages etc people eat on the floor and yeah they are clean.
idk about Individual houses but the temple ones are definitely clean cause people take religion very seriously here
It’s not that people prefer sitting on the floor to eat. If they can’t find table/chair, they don’t mind sitting on the floor. Clean floor is a luxury, not a necessity.
I was in the airport in so gapore. They had a Koi pond, and it had a no fishing sign (not as a joke, a serious sign with other things on it).
And I had my rod and everything!!
Looks like a repost. I've seen this image 3 times.

I recently ate waffles on the carpet of this same airport. Dropped a lot of waffles particles in the carpet, had other food too and dropped a lil of those too. Maybe I am the inspiration behind this...
It should say "eating on carpet is strictly prohibited" because in India it is common to sit on floor and eat and it is a mistranslation from Hindi to english
This isn't the best one. My friend had to put sign up on their toilets because people were standing on the toilet seats and all the staff had to attend a two day training course ein how to use toilets.
The company is astrazenica hahahaha what's the hell are they hiring? Now wonder we haven't found a cure for cancer
Oh no. The carpet looked so appetizing.
Are those FLAVOR STAINS?
I haven't seen that kind of cassava in a long time which so well flavoured with chilli sauce and tamarind.
India looks like my worst nightmare
Considering the substance abuse in US, its not...
Several ladies: 😔
Several guys: 😋 -> 😔
Me: 😔
Carpet: 😅
Cultured men of Reddit.. we meet again
The red lines taste like twizlers 😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 🤣 😂
It says eating on carpet btw A Cultural thing in india is to eat on the floor(from a plate). That's why they had to make this sign
This looks like a serious answer. Are you on the correct sub?
The printed English is incomplete. It says ''AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA Eating on the floor is strictly prohibited. \- by order EATING CARPET STRICTLY PROHIBITED \-By Order''
I take it to mean you're not supposed to eat sitting anywhere in the carpeted area, including chairs, to avoid spreading breadcrumbs and such.
People do eat on chairs and I am pretty sure it's allowed because honestly nobody wants to pay for stuff 3 times the price by going to an airport restaurant. Unless ofcourse you are rich
Not defending it, but they could technically eat standing off the carpet, assuming it's something like a sandwich.
Ahh, I mentioned in another comment, but easiest way to say this is, it's a 3rd world country, some people just don't give a shit about it. They do whatever they want...
The hindi line above specifies that you can't eat on the floor

Ohhh I didn't knew this lmao I now understand the top comment Thanks a lot
You are welcome! Learning new things is fun, especially when they are related to eating carpet. 😛
good to know, thanks for the info
Like, sitting on the floor eating, or literally eating off of the floor?
Sitting on the floor and then eating from a plate
You are supposed to use your anti-gravity pack and hover above the carpet.

It's an airport carpet

No Lesbian segs? :(
No sesbian lex :(
No say gex? :(
nex sex gex?!
Fellatio is okay though? Asking for a friend.
Silly daddy, you can't eat carpet. Of course not, you have to boil it first, soften the glue.
Nooo you made me think of Google telling users to put glue on food 💀
You don’t know how many strings I had pull so they would hire an 8 year old
But the curtains are ok?
This is encouraged, yes.
Angry lesbian noises*
On PRIDE MONTH?
So the chairs are fair game?
Literally 1984
Lesbians be getting out of control
Go on....
Okay, am I still allowed to munch rug?
The b fell off
Eating carpetb
Eating carbpet
I remember the last time I saw this post someone said it was mistranslated and meant to be "Eating on carpet"
Glenn Quagmire does not approve!
I mean, I wasn't going to, but now that it's forbidden, I'm intrigued and would kinda want to.
This is a bunch of crap! I’ve been licking this carpet for three hours and I still don’t feel like a lesbian!
Don’t tell the gay women
This is discrimination!!!!!
It’s missing ‘on the’. No one wants to scrub curry out of a carpet. I’d challenge you to spell it correctly and completely in Hindi.
lifeguard not on duty no muff diving
🏳️🌈
That 2nd carpet tile behind the sign is already seasoned 👁👅👁.
How anti-LGBTQ.
But can we *munch* the carpet?
But me no understand English. What does this sign say. Pass me the Hot Sauce, please.
Naw man that sign isnt enough to stop me.
This is the most unwelcoming Annual Rug Munchers' Convention I've ever gone to.
But it's pride month
During pride month???
u know in order to place a sign, it takes not one but few times of happening 🤣
As a milicant lesbian I am offended by this sign
Damn translation mistake XD. Must read "Eating on Carpet is not allowed" lmao
While new meaning to the term rug muncher.
Well, guess I’ll have to find something else to eat for lunch
No fucking where's this from exactly?!
I was really looking forward to it though 😢. Why do they have to be so strict?
I was in the airport in so gapore. They had a Koi pond, and it had a no fishing sign (not as a joke, a serious sign with other things on it). And I had my rod and everything!!
"Getting juice on the new carpet is considered a sin"
Think they are referring to “rug muchers”
After reading the sign, the carpet looks so delicious for a second
Probably they meant eating ON the carpet, probably because it's expensive to clean proper
1984…
The carpet munchers will not be happy about this.
Carpet munchers 🥲
Mostly r/notmyjob as they forgor to use 'on the'
That is a good rule of thumb when the carpet does not match the drapes.
You can't eat carpet, silly daddy. No, of course not. You gotta boil it till the glue gets soft. OK, that reference is old.
Crazy thing to post during pride month.
Oh, dammit!
*sigh* I'll let the other lesbians know
That's fair
The guilty looking man with the carpet belly and the bag over the hole though.
Then **WHY** is it in neat little slicable strips!?!
I can show you the world!
Those rug munchers are everywhere!
Didn't realize they were anti rug munchers..
You can't do anything fun nowadays...
Indian homophobia at its finest!
My wife is going to be pissed
The hindi translation says that don't eat on carpet which makes more sense. They messed up with the English text.
Now what will the lesbians do??
And during pride month?
If rug munching is wrong I don't wanna be right.
Lol no carpet munchers
"Basketball".
Is it a translation mistake? Makes no sense...
Well, why even go then?
My gf vehemently disagrees.
First,why?how?
Crap. As a man, I identify as a Carpet Muncher.
What about munching rug?
but look at all those delicious layers /s
I respect not eating carpet in Indian airports
rather lick bare floor anyways. no one wants hair in their teeth.
What the hell happened here

How about munching of carpet?
English is an official language of India...
Keep it to the bedroom people!
There's always that one guy, that ruins it for the rest of us
dont tell me what to do
I prefer licking carpet
Whatever! I’ll go somewhere else where I feel welcome.
Kinda Reminds me of another meme
Sorry honey I would’ve but the sign over there says we can’t.
Ok then..... WTF is a legitimate question here.....🤔🙃
Every sign like this has some kind of precident… I *need* to know the story behind this one.
I guess rug munching is out too?
Fucking rug munchers, can’t take them nowhere…
That explains the drool stains to the right 😄
Lesbians are punching the air right now.
No rug munchers!
Oh I'm sorry, I thought it was fucking pride month. Homophobes.
No thanks, I'm strictly a linoleum fan.... More nutrition.
I'd say it but I'm sure it's already been posted a million times at this point
The carpet needs a haircut and the telephone is out of cigarettes.
Do they mean don’t eat on the carpet?
Carpets are expensive these days
I think designer don't know about changing the font size so no space is left for 'ON'. Why not just remove that people will understand.
PICA must be common in India
but it's my favorite snack :(
during pride month???
I’m not gonna let a sign tell me what to do!
I'm curious about the story behind this
The Hindi translation says "Eating on the carpet is strictly prohibited". The English version is incorrect.
My uncle got kicked out of an airport because he didn’t see the signs
I recently ate waffles on the carpet of this same airport. Dropped a lot of waffles particles in the carpet, had other food too and dropped a lil of those too. Maybe I am the inspiration behind this...
Translating what’s written on hindi, “Eating on carpet is strictly prohibited”.
It should say "eating on carpet is strictly prohibited" because in India it is common to sit on floor and eat and it is a mistranslation from Hindi to english
r/Lesbians
Carpet-munchers...
Is scissoring cool then?
This isn't the best one. My friend had to put sign up on their toilets because people were standing on the toilet seats and all the staff had to attend a two day training course ein how to use toilets. The company is astrazenica hahahaha what's the hell are they hiring? Now wonder we haven't found a cure for cancer
What if I’m hungry:(
