Bengaluru Engineer Works as Rapido Driver on Weekends to Talk to New People

The daily life of corporate workers executing their 9-5 jobs as they commute from home to work and back home sometimes becomes monotonous. While sometimes people decide to go on vacation to break the monotony, many also spend their leisure time gyming, trekking, camping, or partying to relax their minds. However, a Twitterati who goes by the name Nikhil Seth recently came across a Rapido driver, who found a unique hobby that’s both relaxing and economical.

The Twitter user recently booked a Rapido ride only to discover that his driver was a well-educated engineer who works for the position of SDET at Microsoft in Bangalore. Going by the story shared by the user, it appears that the Rapido driver does not have enough people around with whom he can talk to. Less human interaction might have made him feel uneasy hence he came up with a bizarre hobby that’s now keeping him happy.

As per the viral story, the unidentified Microsoft worker works as a Rapido driver on weekends. He does that just to talk to new people. Nikhil Seth who broke his story on the internet wrote, “

While a few users ended up sharing their bizarre cab ride stories, many flooded the comment section with hilarious memes.

Another user asked Seth to give him 5 stars for a funny reason, “You give him 5 stars he will give you a referral.”
