Office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga: Delhi-based business owner shares horror hiring story and threat; Reddit post viral
Hiring your first employee is stressful enough. But for one Delhi-based man, it turned into a full-blown nightmare. The original poster (OP) u/Prestigious_Cold9315 took to the Delhi subreddit to post his chilling encounter with a job candidate hired through a popular job seeking/application portal. What followed was a no show, a money ask, and a threat. This led OP to seek answers and advice from Reddit users, many of whom offered their own pearls of wisdom. The incident took place at a small family-run furniture store in Delhi. The poster (OP) (setting out to hire an employee for the very first time) recruited someone to handle basic accounting tasks using resource management software, Tally. But what followed, he says, felt like something out of a scammy social media reel. The candidate didn't show up on the scheduled joining day, citing health issues. After a delay of about three or four days, he arrived at the store — on a day that the employer wasn't even present! What's more, he called only to say that he had come to talk. The next day, the man returned, worked briefly, and asked for ₹500, claiming he needed it for an ultrasound. OP gave him the money, only to then be ghosted for several more days. When contacted again, this employee demanded more money — ₹350 to be exact — claiming it as was the balance for his one day of work (going by an ₹850 dihadi). When refused? He threatened the employer, saying: 'Main Jaat hoon. Office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga kal.' Safe to say OP took it as a wake up call, seeking advice to mend his hiring ways. Commenters on the post were quick to label the employee a 'fraud', warning against recruiting anyone without comprehensive background checks, vetting the CV, and following up on the reccomendations. 'You my friend ended up hiring a fraud. Anyway he will not do anything. Block him and do your work. Hire someone else and do a proper background check,' shared one user, ad another adviced, 'Keeps the call on record next time. File a complaint if he threatens again.' Another suggested a legal recourse: 'File a police complaint. Let the police handle this. Get an employment contract in place in future if you don't.' Some users also felt that taking a threat for sucha low amount should not be taken so seriously. 'Don't think so this person can do much if he's threatening for 350rs. Also, why was he asking for the money if he didn't show up for 3 more days?' commented a user. Another suggested reporting and flagging off the profile on the hiring portal, 'If you can, figure out how to report his profile to naukri. Send him a formal email saying he's been paid 500 for x number of hours (if he indeed did any work). Let him know his employment is terminated. Let him know, if he treathens you further, ki woh 35rs ke liye 10 bande layega toh wakai gazab hojayega. Formally likh dena that as he didn't work, he won't get paid. And him contacting you further will result in your filing a police complaint against him. Bus. Don't be scared. Barking dogs seldom bite and ig you have cameras? Let him know too. For your protection, you can let the police know if you're really scared.' The employer is now looking into how to report the incident and flag the profile on the job portal. Meanwhile, users continue to offer advice: conduct proper background checks, issue offer letters with clear terms, and — most importantly — never give money casually, even in emergencies. Whether this threat materialises or not, the post has hit a nerve with small business owners and first-time recruiters across social media — especially those navigating the complex hiring landscape without the cushion of a corporate HR team.

BI chief Viado denies corruption allegations
Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado on Monday denied corruption allegations in the bureau, including the supposed mishandling of cases related to the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) in the country. In a press statement, Viado dismissed as 'patently false' the accusations purportedly contained in a letter sent by BI employees to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. last week, wherein they supposedly accused the BI chief of corruption. 'For the record, I unequivocally state that all the allegations contained in the alleged 'white paper' are patently false,' he said. 'Should any pertinent agency of the national government decide to look into the supposed 'allegations,' I reiterate the commitment of the Bureau to lend its fullest support,' he said. BI employees — who wished to remain anonymous due to concerns of retaliation from Viado — allegedly submitted a letter to the Office of the President (OP) to report the supposed corrupt practices under the present BI leadership including the mishandling of POGO-related cases and their deportation. Malacañang has yet to confirm receipt of the letter dated June 2 but a supposed copy of it showed that it was received by the OP on June 5, 2025. Viado dismissed the letter as part of a 'smear campaign.' He also accused a senior BI official of fueling the propaganda after the BI chief supposedly rejected his request to release a Chinese national linked to a powerful political figure from the previous administration. 'I was also told that my rejection of the plea by this person to release the said Chinese national may have fueled the smear campaign. I have disregarded these warnings because the mandate I accepted was never about protecting myself, but about cleaning up a system long plagued by abuse. If the price of reform is to be the target of black propaganda, then so be it,' he said. Viado warned of exposing the parties behind the alleged smear campaign in 'due time.' 'I have assured those who have expressed their concern over the threats from these interests that no amount of smear will stop us from continuing our efforts at reforms in the agency,' the BI chief said. 'It is unfortunate that these interests are using the name of the hardworking men and women of the bureau to mask themselves and their hideous agenda. I warn these parties in turn that they shall be exposed in due time. The public deserves the truth and the truth will stand,' he added. —Sundy Locus/AOL, GMA Integrated News

Passenger slams 'rich family' for turning AC coach into ‘full-blown baraat' on Patalkot Express: 'Zero class'
A user took to Reddit to share the ordeal of an AC coach on the Patalkot Express turning into an unexpected venue for a noisy celebration after a large family allegedly took over the space to host what looked like an impromptu wedding party, complete with mehendi, tambola, bhajans, and a full-blown food spread. Sharing what he called the 'worst travel experience' of his life, the user said he was travelling with his mother on a confirmed AC reservation. According to him, when they boarded the train, a family was already sitting on their seats. While the group initially vacated the seats without fuss, what unfolded next left him speechless. Also read: Laura Loomer's snide remark on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's weight gain backfires 'There were at least 25–30 people in this group, with 8–9 kids. Looked like they were off to attend a wedding — decked up, hyped up, and turned the coach into a full-on baraat,' he wrote. According to the user, the family was visibly wealthy. 'This was a rich Sindhi family, not just upper-middle class — legit rich. Travelling AC, gold chains flashing, branded everything,' he noted. The first hour was bearable, but soon chaos ensued. 'One girl started applying mehendi to everyone. The kids were running up and down, screaming like banshees,' OP wrote. Things escalated further when the family unpacked boxes of food. 'They took out cold drinks, thandai, mangoes, oranges, bananas, pineapple, dhokla, cake, theplas, chips, sev, ice cream — you name it. They were literally screaming things like: 'Jijaji, thepla lo!' 'Oreo biscuits kidhar hai!' 'Mehendi wali baith ja zara!'' he recalled. Post-lunch, the situation worsened. 'They pulled out a speaker and started playing tambola. A full-fledged round, with someone calling numbers like it was a wedding sangeet,' OP wrote. At this point, OP lodged a complaint on Rail Madad. Officials intervened after one station and asked the group to tone it down. 'Then, just to spite us, they became louder. Started singing bhajans, playing cards, and mocking me for complaining. 'Aur karo complaint!'' he added. Frustrated, OP reflected: 'Educated, well-dressed, rich — but absolutely zero class or civic sense. Padhe likhe gawar in the truest sense.' The post has sparked a flurry of reactions online. One Reddit user commented, 'Unfortunately, there are people who would still defend this behaviour... we do have a civic sense and discipline problem.' Another user added, 'Man I feel for you... But you are missing one crucial thing in this incident. This was one large family that didn't have manners… the fact that they still were travelling through an AC coach rather than taking a flight shows that money doesn't buy class.'

Boyfriend drunkenly admitted to girlfriend that he creepily ‘watched her' before they met: ‘This dude literally stalked you'
This story is the definition of creepy. A 'meet-cute' is how two people — who eventually romantically date — first meet. One would assume that meet-cutes are usually spontaneous and romantic, however much to one woman's horror, she discovered in an unexpected way that her boyfriend staged how they initially met. Advertisement She posted about the scary discovery on r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit — which seems to have been removed by Reddit's moderators. Luckily some excerpts of the original posting were shared by the Daily Dot. Sounding like a scene straight from the show, 'You' — on a recent night out together, this woman's boyfriend drunkenly said, 'Could you believe we wouldn't be this happy if I hadn't watched you for so long?' That sentence will sober someone right up. Advertisement Confused as anyone in her shoes would be, she asked him to elaborate — and the confessions just got worse. Supposedly, her boyfriend revealed that when he first laid eyes on her, he didn't immediately introduce himself — which would've been the normal, rational thing to do. Instead, he quielty observed her — he eavesdropped on her conversations with friends, he made mental notes of her likes and her personality quirks. This woman learned that her boyfriend was watching her for a long time before they formally met each other. Getty Images Advertisement He then planned to 'bump' into her at a coffee shop she liked — where he ordered her favorite drink. Beyond creepy. Thinking it was fate that brought them together, one could imagine how betrayed and weirded out this girlfriend felt learning all this. Advertisement 'I mainly am just upset because I feel like our relationship was built on a lie, even if it was a smallish one,' she wrote in the post. 'Hellllllllll no this is the creepiest thing I read in a while,' one commenter wrote. 'Well, if he can lie about this and hide it for so long what else do you think he could be lying about? After hearing that, I would assume there would be more things hes been lying about,' another user pointed out. 'Go with your gut. This dude literally stalked you and manipulated you into going out with him,' wrote someone else. This woman's story got even more bizarre. As Reddit users were chiming in on the thread with their thoughts on the situation — suddenly, the woman edited her original post at the top writing, 'I was wrong. My boyfriend didn't do anything wrong.' But then, at the bottom of the post, users noticed the OP said she wanted to chat more with her boyfriend about this discovery and how she was feeling about it. Users sensed something fishy was going on. Advertisement 'Ummm I need some clarification on the edit at the top.. Is there a comment thread somewhere in here that explains? OP, you okay?' a concerned commenter wrote. 'As soon as I saw the edit on the top, I got super concerned. OP please let us know if you're okay,' another comment read. 'That update definitely doesn't sit well with me either. I hope OP is okay; this is such a creepy and concerning post all around,' a concerned commenter shared. The woman hasn't made many additional edits to her post since — and there hasn't been an update.

Passenger refuses to swap seats with woman, gets passive-aggressive revenge mid-flight: ‘Don't be difficult'
A Reddit post by a traveller detailing their unpleasant experience on a five-hour flight has sparked widespread discussion about seat etiquette and passenger entitlement. The passenger, who had booked a window seat months in advance, recounted how a woman boarding the flight with her teenage son asked if they would switch seats so he could enjoy the view. 'I politely said sorry I'd prefer to keep my seat,' the post reads. However, the woman did not take the refusal well. 'She immediately says, wow that's just a seat, don't be difficult,' the Reddit user recalled. 'I smiled and said, Exactly. It's my seat.' Also read: 'Worth the wait': Man kneels down and proposes to his love after RCB's IPL 2025 final victory. Watch What followed was an uncomfortable journey, as the woman, who ended up sitting next to the original poster, 'let out this huge sigh, sat down next to me, and spent the entire flight elbowing into my armrest and dramatically texting with her brightness at full blast.' The Reddit user said he sympathised with the desire to sit together but questioned how being prepared and booking a preferred seat in advance could be perceived as rudeness. 'I get wanting to sit together, but how is me planning ahead suddenly me being rude?' the user asked. The post quickly gained traction, with many users defending the original poster and criticising the woman's behaviour. One comment summed up the broader sentiment: 'Fully on your side but regarding the armrest it is pretty simple: aisle seat gets add. legroom and one armrest, middle seat gets two armrests, window seat gets one armrest and window.' Another user added, ""dramatically texting with her brightness on full" tells me that OP is not the most reliable narrator of this tale" One user wrote, 'The rule is simple: Only switch if their seat is as good or better than your seat. Which is almost never the case.' Also read: 'How cute': Redditor shares father's 41-year-old letter to maternal grandfather seeking permission for marriage
