WTF: Employee Requests Transfer After Colleague Eats Idli-Sambar with Mayonnaise

In one of the most bizarre workplace tales you'll hear, an office employee named Praveen has requested a transfer to a different branch—not because of a toxic work environment or low pay, but because a colleague dared to commit an unthinkable culinary crime. The offense? Eating idli-sambar with ketchup and mayonnaise.

In a viral Instagram Post an employee name Praveen, draft a transfer request after seeing his colleague eating idli and sambar with ketchup and mayonnaise. 

He lamented, “I pray that this never happens again with anyone! During lunch break, my eyes saw something they shouldn’t have and if I could donate my eyes right now, I would.”

The sight of his colleague desecrating his beloved South Indian dish with condiments like ketchup and mayonnaise was more than Praveen could bear. “A colleague, who I won’t name for privacy reasons, used my ketchup, took the office mayonnaise bottle, and started eating them with idli sambar,” he recounted with horror.

Unable to tolerate what he described as a “culinary abomination,” Praveen concluded that he could no longer work in an environment that condones such practices. His transfer request was a last-ditch effort to escape what he clearly viewed as an unacceptable breach of food etiquette.

In the end, this incident serves as a humorous reminder of how the little things—like how someone eats their lunch—can make or break our day at the office.
