Bengaluru man jokes how potholes can peel boiled eggs during auto rides. His witty dig gets a hilarious response. ‘Same can be applied to rice and curry.’

Bengaluru has long been riddled with pothole woes. Rain worsens the problem with water seeping through minor road cracks, stripping asphalt off the base layer. When heavy vehicles drive on this saturated roadbed, it quickly creates expanding, deep pits. Recently, a Reddit user gave a hilarious twist to Bengaluru’s pothole problem. He pointed out the frequent jolts from potholes almost every minute while commuting, joking that the bumpy ride can become a food hack.

Bengaluru man’s hilarious egg-peeling hack

In his post, the Bengaluru man joked that he carries boiled eggs with him while travelling on an auto. But he does not peel them. Reason? His 15-km ride does 99% of the job.

Explaining himself, the man revealed that on average, he hits a pothole thrice a minute. As a result of the jerks and bumps, the eggs automatically get peeled in his lunchbox. Highly recommend this involuntary egg-peeling service. Do try it if you are a fellow Bangalore commuter,’ he wrote sarcastically.

Internet reacts

The post received multiple reactions from Reddit users, many of whom agreed on Bengaluru’s pothole problem. ‘Same can be applied to rice and curry also. Auto will auto-mix if we put them together in a box,’ commented an individual. ‘If you take sambhar and rice it will become bisi bele bath,’ agreed another.

One person suggested carrying milk and rice to whip up curd rice. ‘How about biryani?’ asked another. ‘Oh, I usually marinate chicken... Will try eggs next time,’ read another sarcastic remark. ‘I pay internet bill for this,’ commented someone else.

Bengaluru resident shares similar problem

This isn’t the first time that Bengaluru’s pothole situation grabbed the spotlight. Not long ago, another resident of the city, Vish Key, shared his ordeal of navigating through the flooded streets and heavy traffic jams during a heavy downpour.

As per Vish, he was travelling via the HSR - Agara Lake - Kadubeesanahalli. According to him, a 9 km ride took him nearly an hour, with waterlogging and potholes making the situation far more dangerous, especially for 2-wheelers.
