Bengaluru Warning Board to Not Pluck Flowers Has Creepy Twist, But Think Before You 'Smile'

Plucking flowers might not be considered a good habit, a lesson ingrained in us since childhood. However, when individuals encounter the allure of beautifully arranged public flowers, self-interest often takes precedence. Consequently, authorities frequently find themselves compelled to issue warnings against flower plucking, making such notices a common sight. However, a recent encounter with one such warning sign by a user named ‘X’ was anything but ordinary. In fact, it added a rather eerie twist to the act of flower-plucking, which is sure to wipe the smile off your face!

On the micro-blogging site, a user with the handle @KismiBar shared a picture that featured a warning sign nestled among a row of flowers. The sign read, “Please do not pluck flowers…we are watching!!! If caught smiling while plucking flowers…you will be fined INR 500/-.”

However, it appears that Bengaluru has a penchant for such peculiar warning signs. Not long ago, a similarly rule-laden notice was spotted in a Bengaluru park. According to this sign, which was installed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), park visitors were prohibited from jogging or running within the park premises. The sign seemed quite ordinary until one noticed the third rule, which stated, “No Anti-clockwise walking.” Anti-clockwise walking, when applied to parks and circular pathways, involves walking in the opposite direction, potentially causing disruptions and accidental collisions. The sign, it seemed, was encouraging people to walk in a single direction.

This image of the sign found its way to Reddit, where the user who shared it captioned it as “Sign I encountered in a park today.” Soon, people began posing humourous questions in relation to the sign. Many were curious about the definition of “anti-clockwise walking” and why it was prohibited.
