Posters and signs are a common sight in parks and public spaces as they often instruct people on dos and don'ts - to not litter, for example. However, one sign in a Bengaluru park has a different message - asking people not to walk in an anti-clockwise direction.

A third user said, "BBMP management meeting. What should we fix? Bad roads (No) Bad garbage management (No) People walking anti-clockwise (Yes)," while a fourth commented sarcastically, "They’ve got their priorities right!"
Similarly, a post went viral on Tuesday after a LinkedIn user posted a photograph of a man using his laptop - while riding pillion on a bike - at a flyover . This ignited debates on social media over work culture in the city.
