Bengaluru Man Slams Delivery App After Feeling 'Threatened' By Hindi Notification, Netizens Call Him 'Jobless'
It all started after the man received a notification in Hindi from Blinkit, which read: "Dekho ye order 12 minutes mein deliver ho gaya (See this order was delivered in just 12 minutes)."
A Karnataka man was trolled by netizens after he lashed at the grocery delivery app Blinkit for sending a notification in Hindi, which he claimed "threatened" him. The man shared a customer care chat on his X handle in which he can be seen asking the app's support team to not use "alien" language. He also threatened to lodge a police complaint if they did not stop sending notifications in "nonsense" languages.
The strange incident left the internet irked, following which he was trolled and called "jobless" for making an issue out of nothing and wasting time.
It all started after the man received a notification in Hindi from Blinkit, which read: "Dekho ye order 12 minutes mein deliver ho gaya (See this order was delivered in just 12 minutes)."
Since the notification was not in Kannada, he was enraged and said the word "gaya" which translates to wound in Kannada, made him feel threatened. He contacted the support team of the app, pretending to be completely unaware that it was a Hindi word.
Sharing the screenshots of his chat with the support team of Blinkit, the man wrote: "Blinkit sent a harmful notification and wished me "Gaya," which means "wound" in Kannada. I told them, if I received one more threatening notification, I would lodge a police complaint. After that they stopped sending nonsense in alien languages. That's how we need to deal!"
The viral post has now garnered 933.7K views.

The man said that after the incident he observed that the app was sending notifications in English only.
"After this complaint, I observed over a month that they are now sending only English notifications. No more alien language nonsense. If more people complain, they will introduce Kannada as well," he posted.
Netizens Troll Man, Ask 'Are You Jobless?'
Several netizens trolled him and commented on his post. While some asked him if he was jobless, others called him out for writing his post in English and not in Kannada.
"Lmao your post is in English. Are you jobless?" a user commented.
Another user asked: "Why can’t you type your responses to them in Kannada ?"
An X user questioned the man as to where it was mentioned that the official language of Karnataka was Kannada. "Where is it mentioned official language of our land is kannada? Btw yak guru ninge ee thete? Notification off madu guru. I don't like any app to send notifications until I feel it's important to me," he wrote.
Another netizen asked him to just switch off the notifications if it bothered him.
"Only shows that people need to get jobs and have a life. You could have simply closed notifications. Instead you sit and think of every situation where we can do a language angle," the user posted on X.
Another X user asked the man to get counselling and commented: "I’m very concerned about your mental health. Please do not take it easy and work on it, meditate if that helps or get counselling."
"Get a life man ,how do you find time to do all this crap whole day i have no idea," an X user commented.
Mocking him for threatening the app with a police complaint over the issue, a user commented: "Lmao what clown behaviour. I wonder how the police would react if you went to them with this complaint. Do you get offended every time you read a menu in a restaurant that has Paneer Tikka?"
