The daily lives of corporate workers who work 9 to 5 jobs and commute from home to work and back home can become monotonous. While some people choose to go on vacation to break up the monotony, many others spend their free time exercising, trekking, camping, or partying to unwind. Nikhil Seth, a Twitterati, recently discovered a Rapido driver who discovered a unique hobby that is 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 at Microsoft in Bangalore as an SDET. According to the user’s story, it appears that the Rapido driver does not have enough people with whom he can converse. Less human interaction may have made him uneasy, so he devised a bizarre hobby that is now keeping him happy.
According to the viral story, the unidentified Microsoft employee works as a Rapido driver on the weekends. He only does it to meet new people. Nikhil Seth, who first publicised his story on the internet, wrote,”
My Rapido Driver today was an SDET at Microsoft & he told me that he drives just to talk to people and as a hobby on weekends.” Take a look at the tweet below:

When the tweet went viral, it elicited a wide range of reactions on the social media platform. While a few users ended up sharing their bizarre cab ride stories, the comment section was flooded with hilarious memes. A user shared that they once encountered a cab driver who claimed to be a businessman. When asked why he drives a cab, the businessman explained that he does it to pass the time because his children are too busy to talk to him.
The user wrote, “Once my cab driver said he is a businessman and drives 3-4times a week just because his kids are too busy to talk to him! Damn!! I was speechless.”
