A Bengaluru woman’s Uber ride took an unexpected turn when she discovered her driver was a team lead at her own office.
Th`1 e X user shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp message in which she explained that she booked a cab, and the person behind the wheel was their colleague.
“Funny thing happened, you know. I booked Uber, and the guy who picked me up was a team lead at my office,” the WhatsApp text read.
Upon asking him the reason for driving the cab, he said he took it up for fun and to alleviate boredom. The text further read, “He said he does this for fun and to cut off some boredom.”
The viral post sparked mixed reactions – some laughed at the coincidence, while others criticised the team lead’s decision to drive for Uber amidst Bengaluru’s notorious traffic.
“Being stuck in traffic for hours – to pass the time? Sounds fishy!” one person commented.
Another wrote, “When I worked in US, CEO of a large MNC, whom we invited to home said he worked as a server in a hotel without any inhibition and we were fairly surprised at that time. Here in India, it is a big deal. If this is true, he will make it big in life as he is hard working. Good luck.”
“No one does it for fun, probably facing financial issues,” the other user said. “How can a team lead have so much free time?” added another.
In July 2024, a similar viral story highlighted a 35-year-old Microsoft software engineer who drove an auto-rickshaw on weekends to beat loneliness, with a photo showing him in his company hoodie while driving.
