Bengaluru, India's startup center, has recently been the subject of countless online memes highlighting unusual incidents that could only happen in the city.
Many stories of "peak Bengaluru" moments, a term used to characterize the eye-catching occurrences that occur in India's IT hub, can be found all over the internet.
A strange 'parking prohibited' notice frightening violators of ancient curses is currently trending on social media. "Parking is banned. "The wrath of the ancients will fall on your head!" it warns.
X user @KrishnaCKPS posted a picture of the signboard with the comment "Parking Prohibited." "This is @peakbengaluru". The image went popular on the microblogging platform, eliciting funny responses from the public.
"Your shoelaces will not stay tied! Rabid squirrels will invade your home. Bad hair days for the rest of your life! Food in your refrigerator will mysteriously spoil! You will only receive thoughtless recycled gifts! Your vehicle will start making that expensive knocking sound and your tyres will perpetually deflate! Mosquitoes will pick you over everyone else! No one will ever talk to you at parties or laugh at your jokes or even like you! Be warned! Unless you are friends or family, then it's all good," the ominous message reads.
The X user shared the photo a few days ago, and it has since received multiple likes and comments.?
