Pic Showing Plane Passenger's Foot Poking Underneath Seat Sparks Debate https://ift.tt/QI8ioLn When travelling on a plane, passengers should follow some basic etiquette and do their best to not disturb or trouble anyone seated around them. However, recently a passenger was left disgusted after a flyer behind her poked their socked foot underneath their seat. A photo of the passenger's feet was shared on Reddit by user stefahnia (r/mildlyinfuriating). "Don't be this person," the Redditor captioned the photo, which was taken by a friend during a recent undisclosed flight.  The picture shows the passenger's space being violated by a socked foot belonging to the flyer behind them. It also shows the flyer's foot touching the photographer's sneakers. "Friend sent me this from her recent flight home last weekend," the user wrote in the caption.  Take a look at the post below:  Don't be this person byu/stefahnia inmildlyinfuriating The Redditor shared the post a few days back and since then it has amassed more than 9,000 upvotes. Social media users were quick to react and hold the offender's toes on the fire.  "Just turn around and say, 'I don't think our relationship has progressed along far enough to the level of "footsie" intimacy,'" one user advised. "I'd step on their toes really hard and go oopsie," wrote another.  "I would pretend I had no idea a foot was there, and put my feet up on the bar. A bruised toe or two should make him move his foot," commented a third. "I would 1000% stomp on that foot a time or two until they got the point. I am not afraid to let people know when they are invading my personal space," added another.  Also Read | Forget FOMO, Here's Why JOMO Is Trending On Social Media Again Some users also shared similar experiences. "This happened to me recently. Except not only was the foot just there, the guy would occasionally run his toes up my calf!! Creepy as hell. I kicked back at him a few times to no avail. My boyfriend stomping on his foot finally made it stop," one Redditor wrote.  Some, on the other hand, claimed that encroaching is unavoidable for taller passengers. "If the person behind me tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was okay about them encroaching my space because they're large, no problem at all. Encroach away," wrote one user. "The dude might not even realize his foot is sticking into their space; it's not like you can see under the seat that's 4.5" in front of you," said another.  https://ift.tt/fZGs4cx January 25, 2024 at 08:06AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Viral Pic Shows Lord Ram's Image On Burj Khalifa. A Fact-Check https://ift.tt/rYZn5Mk Thousands of people in Ayodhya danced in the streets, waving flags and chanting religious slogans during the consecration ceremony of the grand Ram temple on Monday. Thousands others watched the ceremony live online. But along with the frenzy, several fake and digitally altered images started circulating on social media that attracted a lot of attention. One of them shows the projection of Lord Ram on Dubai's Burj Khalifa building. The photo went massively viral, amassing more than two million views and sparking a huge debate online. The image shows a shining Burj Khalifa with a photo of Lord Ram dressed as a sage (depicting his years in exile) with 'Jai Shri Ram' written in top. People who shared the photo claimed this was real and users immediately started posting comments. However, some of them asked if the photo is real. "Jai Shree Ram. Still I want to know whether it is edited or real?" commented one user. "Craze is unreal," said another. "Well it is not photoshopped. It's digitally altered. Jai Shree Ram. Paint the whole world," said a third user. However, a reverse image search on Google shows Burj Khalifa in same light but without any projection of Lord Ram on it. Whenever an occasion is celebrated by the world's tallest building, the images are shared on its Facebook and Instagram accounts. But no such post has been shared on its social media handles. A similar incident took place in April 2023 too, but that too turned out to be fake. Meanwhile, the doors of the Ram temple in Ayodhya opened to the general public on Tuesday, a day after the consecration of the new Ram Lalla idol. A large number of devotees, both locals and visitors from other states, gathered outside the main gates since late on Monday night, waiting to enter the premises. They had to wait for hours in the biting cold before the doors of the grand temple opened. The temple complex, built in the traditional Nagara style, is 380 feet long from the east to the west, 250 feet wide and will eventually rise to 161 feet at the 'shikhar'. It is supported by 392 pillars and has 44 doors. https://ift.tt/jNTuY8D January 23, 2024 at 11:49AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
