Workplace horror: Bengaluru woman shares SHOCKING incident, recalls her boss' violent outburst, “He threw a mouse at my face..”

In many Indian cities, especially ones growing as rapidly as Bengaluru, pedestrian infrastructure tends to fall far down the list of priorities. Broken footpaths, blocked sidewalks, and hazardous urban layouts are often ignored, despite affecting millions who walk these streets daily. One such area from Bengaluru has gone viral in his unique series on Bengaluru’s footpaths.Caleb Friesen’s latest video, shared on X, shows his walk from Majestic bus stand to a Starbucks nearby, which is a stretch of only 2.4 km, but made nearly impossible due to broken and unsafe footpaths. As he shared online, the hazards along the way included “tunnel juice, barbed wire, desire paths, bushwhacking, pavement pudding, a stairwell into a drain, and something I can’t type here.”He ended his post with a grim warning, “Don’t watch this if you have a weak stomach.”Despite his wry commentary, Friesen made it clear in the video, “I don’t just want to criticise India, I care deeply about this country.”The video sparked a flood of reactions online. One X user wrote, “Damn. That’s really bad. I did these kinds of explorations while I was in New York, going to places where no one had been, but it was far better than this.” Many others echoed the same frustration over the city’s neglect of pedestrian spaces.In response to the outcry, Friesen suggested practical steps. According to him, “It would get a lot of kudos from the public if they created an internal process of identifying, cleaning, and fixing problematic spots.” He also proposed the idea of a “city wishlist” — a system where citizens could vote on which areas needed urgent repair.This isn’t the first time Friesen’s videos have sparked real action. One of his earlier posts , showing the unusable Domlur, Indiranagar footpath, prompted BBMP officials to clean and restore a stretch that had been ignored for over two decades. The repair happened just days after the post went viral.Arun Pai, founder of Bangalore Walks, later shared a follow-up video showing the fully repaired walkway and credited Friesen for pushing the issue into the spotlight.
