બેઠક Bethak

પરાઈ છીંડીમાં હગવું ને કરાંજવું.

parāī chīṁḍīmāṁ hagavuṁ nē karāṁjavuṁ.

Literally
To defecate in another's broken fence and groan.
What it means
Said of someone who intrudes on another's space or business and then complains loudly about discomfort.

Also said as

  • પરાણે પુણ્ય થાય નહીં.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
