Bengaluru Delivery Man’s Curious Request for Onion Leaves Customer Puzzled

In an unusual turn of events, a Bengaluru man’s grocery delivery experience became the subject of much online chatter after the delivery agent made a strange and unexplained request. The incident was shared by Reddit user @yashwantptl7, who recounted the peculiar moment that left him and his wife both confused and amused.

According to the Reddit post, the user had ordered groceries from Instamart after discussing the items with his wife. The delivery arrived on time, but it was what happened next that caught him off guard. After completing the delivery, the agent asked, “Sir, ek pyaaz mil sakta hai kya?” (Sir, can I have an onion?)

Taken aback by the request, the Reddit user asked the delivery agent why he needed the onion. The agent simply replied, “Aise hi, khaane ke liye” (Just like that, for eating).

Intrigued and slightly amused, the Reddit user jokingly asked if the onion was needed for some sort of ‘Tantra mantra’ (black magic). The agent smiled and assured him, “No,” offering no further explanation.

This bizarre request sparked the user’s curiosity, and he shared the incident on Reddit, prompting a flurry of comments from users who speculated about the agent’s motives. One user suggested that the delivery man might be unable to afford vegetables and was simply asking for an onion to eat with his roti (flatbread). Another user wondered if the agent was in a good mood and wanted to enjoy the onion with some chicken and alcohol. Some even entertained the idea that the agent might have given the onion to someone in need.

The story quickly went viral, with nearly 1,100 upvotes on Reddit within just three days. The unusual request not only puzzled the couple but also sparked conversations among netizens, who shared their own theories and thoughts on the incident.

While the true reason behind the request remains a mystery, the lighthearted nature of the story has captured the imagination of many, leaving people to speculate on what may have been a simple, yet amusing, moment in the life of a Bengaluru delivery man.
