Man attempts to troll IRCTC with complaint over vulgar ads, gets trolled instead
While there may be trolls galore ridiculing the efficiency of the Railways, it’s definitely not often that they get a chance to troll right back. One such ‘opportunity’ surfaced when a complaint was recently made with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Cooperation online. Posting a tweet with screenshots apparently taken from the IRCTC app, the user complained to the body of the pornographic nature of the ads that appeared whenever he opened the app, and asked officials to look into it. The body reverted, saying that the nature of ads was so not because of any technical glitch, but because they were user specific-meaning, the ads appear based on the user’s own search history. The gentle advice to “delete all history to avoid such ads” left netizens in splits.
Obscene and vulgar ads are very frequently appearing on the IRCTC ticket booking app. This is very embarrassing and irritating @RailMinIndia@IRCTCofficial@PiyushGoyalOffc kindly look into. pic.twitter.com/nb3BmbztUt

Video of employee’s bath in restaurant kitchen sink goes viral, but gets him fired
Who ever thought taking a bath could get one fired from work? This is what happened when a US fast food joint fired an employee after a video of him taking a bath in the restaurant kitchen’s sink went viral online. The 53-second video shared on Facebook features an employee taking off his clothes and stepping into the industrial-sized sink. While cheers can be heard in the background, possibly of the fellow employees, it did not go well with the joint owner who dismissed him from work soon after. While the video has left many amused, some users expressed their disgust and said they would never dine there again.
Got the idea to do the Google-Florida-man thing from @jocelynhudonx. No #Wendys#Frosty for me today: https://t.co/yNVQMGjwEx

UK magazine’s ‘Theresa May memorial issue’ with blank page keeps the net buzzing
While British Prime Minister Theresa May’s announcement of her decision to quit last week got the world talking, a UK magazine’s front cover mentioning her legacy created further buzz around May. Titled “Theresa May memorial issue”, the Private Eye’s cover, while mentioning “The Prime Minister’s legacy in full”, left the rest of the page blank. The only words thus printed on the cover was the title of the issue. While this has left many netizens in splits, some have also called it unfair. The buzz, however, kept going!
So. Farewell then: the new edition of Private Eye is out now! pic.twitter.com/bsflqkyUsC
