In a weird incident, a Bengaluru man wearing a Microsoft hoodie was seen driving a Namma Yatri auto-rickshaw in Koramangala. This unusual sight has sparked a lively debate on social media.
Bengaluru Man in Viral Photo
The photo of Bengaluru man in Microsoft hoodie was shared by Venkatesh Gupta on X (formerly Twitter). Venkatesh captioned the photo, “Met a 35-year-old staff software engineer at Microsoft in Koramangala driving Namma Yatri to combat loneliness on weekends.” This claim led many to believe the man was indeed a Microsoft engineer.
Social Media Reactions
The post quickly went viral, with mixed reactions from users. Some believed the story, while others expressed disbelief. One user pointed out, “There’s no ‘Staff Software Engineer’ designation at Microsoft.” In response, Venkatesh acknowledged the skepticism with a simple, “Obviously, yes.”
Debate on Microsoft Hoodie
The debate continued with users questioning the authenticity of the story. One user commented, “Hahahaha So you were just being funny and you took ‘loneliness’ as a joke, and there are media outlets quoting this with zero checks.” Another user added, “No way this is true.”
Adding to the humor, a third user joked, “Microsoft should collaborate with Dolly for tea workshops. They must have already discussed the blueprint for the project last time they met.”
Clarification on Man Hoodie
The confusion seemed to arise from the man wearing a Microsoft hoodie. One user clarified, “This post is because the guy was wearing a Microsoft hoodie, not because he was an actual engineer.”
Whether the story is true or just a playful exaggeration, it highlights the power of social media in spreading and discussing unique and quirky incidents. It also serves as a reminder to verify information before taking it at face value.
