A man in Uttar Pradesh, India went viral after being caught partially hanging out of the window of an apartment located on the seventh floor, all to record with his phone what was apparently a heated argument on the neighboring balcony.

The footage shows the man leaning on a narrow outer ledge, with half his body outside the building and his cellphone pointed toward the adjacent apartment. The most surprising thing is that he remained like that for several seconds without showing signs of fear or instability. According to accounts shared on social media, he wanted to record someone else’s fight.

The video sparked criticism over the invasion of privacy, but also an avalanche of jokes. Because wanting to find out the gossip is one thing… and risking your life so you don’t miss the moment is something else entirely.
