In a bizarre yet hilarious scene straight out of a meme, two men were caught on camera lifting a scooter on their shoulders to escape a massive traffic jam in Gurugram. The unusual “hack” has left netizens in splits and sparked a wave of witty reactions online.
The short clip, originally shared on X by user Aaraynsh, shows the duo carefully hoisting the two-wheeler and walking past a road packed with cars, bikes, and honking horns. The caption read: “In Gurgaon, a man carried his scooter on his shoulder to avoid traffic.”
Instagram page Gurgaon Locals also reposted the video with a cheeky remark: “Only one solution of Gurgaon's Traffic.” Within hours, the clip spread like wildfire, racking up views across platforms.
Social media users were quick to turn the stunt into comedy gold. “Deadlift final boss,” one user quipped, while another wrote, “India is not for beginners.” A third joked, “That time isn’t far when office commuters will also have to do the same.”
