A man in Bengaluru took to Reddit to narrate an incident when police not only harassed him but invaded his privacy by looking through private photos of his girlfriend. As per the post the incident happened near Indiranagar in Bengaluru at about 10.30 pm.The man wrote that he was riding home alone on his scooter when a police bike signaled him to pull over. 'I thought it was just a routine stop. They said they were checking people because of some reports about weed. I answered everything calmly,' he recalled.According to him, the situation escalated when an officer demanded to see his phone. Not wanting trouble, he said he reluctantly unlocked it. 'He went through my contacts first, then asked me to open my gallery and that's where it got super uncomfortable. I'm 26 and I have a lot of very private, extremely explicit photos of my girlfriend saved. Nothing illegal—just personal and intimate,' he wrote.The Reddit post alleged that the officer scrolled through the photos one by one, zooming in, showing them to a colleague, and smirking. 'They were whispering things to each other while staring. I just stood there frozen. I've never felt that kind of violation before—like someone stripping away your privacy while you stand helpless,' he recounted.The man claimed that after a few minutes, his phone was returned with a remark: 'You should keep this stuff to yourself bro, some things aren't meant for public viewing.' He added that the officers warned him to 'stay away from ganja' before leaving.'I know I technically handed over the phone, but it didn't feel like I had a choice. The whole thing felt like harassment, not a legitimate check. Is this even legal?' the post questioned.Commenting on the post, one person slammed him saying, "May such a boyfriend never find me. Which dumb person keeps their gf's nudes in their gallery that with just knowing your password other men got a chance to oogle at it. There's something called hidden folders / files or just viewing and deleting pics."Another person agreed saying, "True it's never safe to have such explicit pictures of your girlfriend on the phone you carry especially how easily exploitable phones are nowadays even commonly used messaging apps are not safe..Also the police are not allowed to check phones."

36 Movie Pet Peeves That Made Viewers Stop Watching
We all know the best way to enjoy a film is to fully immerse yourself in its world. But have you ever been watching a movie and thought "this is so ridiculous and absolutely unrealistic?" Over on Reddit, people are sharing their biggest movie "pet peeves" — And now I'm thinking back to every single movie I've ever watched in a whole new light. "When people walk around with cups of coffee or drinks, they're always empty and it's obvious by the way they carry them." "Anything to do with computer systems is always dumbed down to the point of being meaningless drivel or technically impossible." "Driving. There is no way someone is looking at their passenger for that long without getting in an accident." "SPRINKLERS DO NOT GO OFF WHEN YOU PULL THE FIRE ALARM." "If the good guy gets shot in the stomach, it's no big deal. Sometimes they keep on fighting and once its all over, the guy will reveal he was hit in the gut, but he's okay. If you get shot in the stomach in real life, you wouldn't be able to stand up. You would hit the ground and make noises similar to a cow giving birth. There's a big chance you wouldn't survive it, and if you do, you'll be using a colostomy bag for the rest of your life. Nobody is walking off a gut shot." "Tornado movies where they act like tornados just drop from the sky out of nowhere and wreak havoc on a town. Tornados happen with thunderstorms — so no, people aren't just hanging out at an outdoor baseball game on a nice sunny day when a tornado appears suddenly and rips through the field." "People having sex or kissing in the morning when you KNOW they stink! Like spicy scenes when folks have been running around all day in the heat and tight jeans. Knowing damn well that room is going to smell like wet cat food. Vomit." "When people are shocked back to life from 'flat-lining'. There are only 2 shockable rhythms — ventricular tachycardia, or ventricular fibrillation. Anything else won't work. And this is on medical shows the most! It drives everyone working in health care crazy LOL." "How long people can hold their breath under water." "Dirty feet. This happens in sitcoms too. They walk around barefoot and forget to check the bottom of their feet🤦♀️." "When people get knocked unconscious and then get up like nothing ever happened. I got knocked unconscious in a car accident and I felt dizzy and generally unwell for hours." "Unnatural conversations with the sole purpose of informing the viewer. Best example that comes to mind is Big Hero 6: 'What would mom and dad say?' 'They died when I was three, remember?'" "Why is there a class bell in college?!?!! Drives me nuts!" "When they hit someone on the back of the head to interrogate them later. Whatever they knew, they now forgot my man." "People in movies cutting their hair to become unrecognizable. They always grab the hair and start cutting it all over the place, and in the next scene, they have a cute bob. You'd be more noticeable with a hack job like that." "As an electrician, most of the time, it involves electricity as a storytelling device. For example, an outlet blowing someone across the room or lights exploding like mini grenades. I've been shocked many times from outlets and never get thrown across the room. Power lines don't shock you then fling you — they grab hold and don't let go until a breaker fails. If an outlet was overpowered, it would've melted long before the antagonist got close enough for it to arc to them." "Sprinkler systems don't all go off at once and the water is certainly not clean." "Air ducts are always magically clean and big enough for a person to crawl through. (They aren't)." "The way characters get their beds ready to sleep (or lack thereof). It drives me nuts when I see them get into a bed with four huge pillows angled straight up and they don't turn down their pillows or remove the second set from behind them. They literally plop down on the pillow in the most unrealistic way. Like okay girl, we both know you are not spending the next 8 hours sleeping with your neck craned up like that on a sideways pillow." "Women always look perfect — Just woke up? Perfect hair and makeup. Just went through a tornado? Perfect hair and makeup. Your ship sank and you're hanging onto a door for dear life and the love of your life just froze to death? A little wet, but perfect hair and makeup." "Childbirth. In real life, people know due dates and aren't completely shocked when it comes. The baby is not born 10 minutes after contractions start, you have a few hours to get to a hospital. And that shit is messy. Amniotic fluid, blood, urine, feces everywhere. If by some crazy twist of fate where you actually did have to give birth outside of a hospital, the area immediately around you would be a biohazard that can't be shown on screen. You'd be way, way more likely to die of something like pre-eclampsia because there's no immediate medical care." "Music. It makes me crazy when a movie set in a particular year or time period has a song in its soundtrack that 'hasn't been released yet.'" "People don't stutter or trip over their words unless it's part of their character or serves a story purpose." "When actors wear fake glasses. You can tell because the lenses are flat, while real glasses are curved. Maybe it doesn't drive me crazy but it's something I do notice that breaks the immersion a tad." "Courtrooms always have a large audience in movies. I've never seen more than a handful of people just chilling in a courtroom in real life. Better Call Saul got this right however." "Guns making metallic 'cocking' sounds whenever anyone touches them." "I'm a carpenter — I sign out in movies when the main character is supposed to be a skilled tradesperson and looks like they've never swung a hammer. If the actor worked on a construction site for two weeks, it would go a long way toward making it more believable. For example, Ben Stiller in Greenberg obviously didn't know what he was doing. On the other side, Mark Ruffalo in You Can Count On Me had clearly been practicing. Harrison Ford was a real life carpenter, so he always looks legit (Witness and Mosquito Coast stand out to me)." "When a character falls or dives into a river or the ocean, they're completely oblivious to the cold, even if it's a scene in the middle of the winter." "Just leaving the door front wide open when entering or leaving." "When the main characters are in a line or something, and none of the background people are doing anything. I just watched a Christmas movie where this woman skipped the line to talk to Santa about something. No one in the line said anything the entire time, and were just smiling and watching come on, I need a little bit of realism from the extras." "As a registered nurse, the angle they put the needle in to draw blood makes me furious. Or when they inject medicine directly into someone's neck. Both instances, they are nowhere near the vessels. It takes me out of the story for a bit." "For me it is about how much time it would actually take to drive from place to place. Like, you're not getting in and out of NYC or LA in less than an hour." "Fist fights. They take turns letting the other guy punch them in the face. Most people would get knocked out after eating one or two of those punches but in the movies they'll eat like ten punches and only come out with a bleeding lip or a black eye." "'Over and out' while talking on a radio. Ughhhhh I hate that. Also, no scars or bruises. If a character has a slash on their face, they look pretty good in a few scenes. There's no scabbing, and usually the 'scar' just looks like someone took a tub of lipstick and crudely ran it down their face." "When they're driving in a heavily populated city and don't stop a SINGLE time. You're telling me you had no red lights, no congested traffic and no jaywalkers? You're telling me not a single person is holding up a lane because they're unloading their U-Haul truck?" "Military uniform violations: people in military uniforms walking around outside with longish hair and no headgear. Conversely, walking around indoors while wearing headgear and saluting officers. WTF!" Do any of these "pet peeves" annoy you too? Let us know something the movies always get wrong in the comments!

Strictly celebrity pairings 'revealed' and one star who could be 'benched'
The full line-up for the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing has been announced, but fans believe they have worked out which professionals will be paired with which celebrities The complete lineup for the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing has been officially revealed and eagle-eyed viewers reckon they have sussed out one same-sex pairing as well as all of the other pairings. The programme is set to make its comeback this autumn, with Game of Thrones star Kristian Nairn amongst the confirmed celebrity contestants. The-49 year-old, who also works as a renowned DJ, stands at an impressive six foot nine inches tall. The BBC dancing show typically matches famous faces with professional dancers based on height compatibility. It comes after it was revealed that Vicky Pattison suffered a gruelling health issue just days into training. Now, one dedicated viewer posted online that they believe they have cracked it for this very reason, predicting that Kristian will be matched with a male professional. They wrote: "Given his height, maybe there's a chance he gets a male pro? Even the taller female pros will still be nearly a foot shorter than him. Excited to see him, always struck me as a lovely guy in interviews." Another fan responding to the theory suggested: "Maybe he'll get Johannes?". A third also agreed: "Wow, was not expecting this. Rooting for him and excited to see how they will work around the height difference." Elsewhere on the show this year will be Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Dani Dyer, Alex Kingston, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Balvinder Sopal, George Clarke, La Voix, Chris Robshaw, Ellie Goldstein, Thomas Skinner, Stefan Dennis, Ross King, and Karen Carney. Ahead of the brand-new series, several fans of the BBC show have now predicted what professionals will be paired with what celebrities. On one Reddit thread which has already raked up hundreds of likes, one Strictly fan wrote: "I feel like these will all be paired together. "Alex Kingston and Aljaz Skorjanec, Balvinder Sopal and Neil Jones, Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova, Dani Dyer and Julian Caillon, Ellie Goldstein and Nikita Kuzmin, and George Clarke and Alexis Warr." The Reddit user went on: "Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Lauren Oakley, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Dianne Buswell, Karen Carney and Vito Coppola, Kristian Nairn and Carlos Gu, La Voix and Kai Widdrington, Ross King and Jowita Przystal. "Stefan Dennis and Karen Hauer, Thomas Skinner and Luba Mushtuk, and Vicky Pattison and Johannes Radebe." The Strictly Come Dancing fan went on to add their predictions of what dancers might be 'benched' this year as they wrote: "Gorka (obviously), Amy, Katya, Nancy and Michelle. "The reason I suggested these pairing predictions is because Katya has been through enough scandals already especially the Wynne Evans situation last year so best to leave her on the bench to prevent more controversy. "It's about time Vito challenges himself with someone with not as much dance experience or a fair amount of rhythm so Karen Carney would be possible. "Even though Karen Hauer is the oldest female pro still going, I feel Stefan Dennis would be a possible contender for her as this may well be her last year on the show (unless she wants to set the record to overtake Brendan's 15 series and Anton's 18 series then fair enough). "It would also be best if Amy sits this series out to prioritise her health and well being." However, another user disagreed that Katya would be benched for the upcoming series. "I'd be incredibly surprised if Katya was benched. If her controversies were seen as bad enough to not have her compete, I reckon they would just advise her to quit. "From a producing standpoint, Katya may bring controversy, but that controversy brings views and engagement. She has never actually caused issues herself really, its her partners that do it and she gets wrapped up in it. "She's still one of the most popular pros regardless of any controversy, which just shows how good she is. Plus, she is one of the best choreographers, and one of the most consistently entertaining. I'd say that Jowita is the only other female pro that's consistently on the same level."

After 'Frankenstein' rabbits, 'zombie squirrels' are haunting Americans
Source: X Squirrels with grotesque, wart-like tumors have been spotted across the United States and Canada, particularly in states like Maine. The condition, marked by pus-filled tumors and hairless patches, has alarmed residents and fueled viral discussions on Reddit, X, and other platforms. According to reports, sightings of these afflicted animals have surfaced since mid-2023, with numbers rising this summer. Some residents have dubbed them 'zombie squirrels' due to their disturbing appearance. One Reddit user recalled seeing a gray squirrel with a tumor on its mouth on July 31, initially thinking it was eating something in a flowerbed before realizing the growth was attached to its face. The cause: Squirrel Fibromatosis Wildlife experts identify the phenomenon as squirrel fibromatosis—a naturally occurring viral skin disease that looks frightening but poses no risk to humans, pets, or birds. The condition is caused by the leporipoxvirus and spreads through direct contact, often when healthy squirrels encounter the saliva or lesions of infected ones. The transmission mechanism is similar to how herpes spreads in humans. Unlike squirrelpox—common in the UK and often fatal to red squirrels—this virus usually resolves within four to eight weeks. However, in rare cases, internal organ involvement can be fatal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Wildlife biologist Shevenell Webb of Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife told the Bangor Daily News that the clustering of squirrels—often around bird feeders—may be driving the spread. 'It's like when you get a large concentration of people. If someone is sick and it spreads easily, others are going to catch it,' she said. Uneaten seeds contaminated with saliva or fluid from an infected squirrel can pass the virus on to others. Webb urged residents not to interfere. 'It is naturally occurring and will run its course in time,' she noted. Rabbits with antler-like growths Source: X At the same time, unusual wildlife sightings have been reported in Colorado, where cottontail rabbits infected with Shope papilloma virus—also called cottontail papilloma virus—develop black, antler-like growths protruding from their heads. The disease is spread by parasites like ticks and fleas, which pass on the ailment through their bites, according to Pet MD. While the recent sightings occurred in Colorado, the disease most frequently appears in the Midwest. 'Typically rabbits become infected in the warmer months of summer when transmitted by being bitten by insects like fleas and ticks,' said Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson Kara Van Hoose, per the Coloradoan. Fortunately, Colorado Parks and Wildlife notes that while the virus can spread between rabbits, it is not known to infect humans or pets and is not considered a public health threat.
