What we are about to tell you, will give you the perfect dose of laughter for the day. To start with, we are all familiar with cab services like Uber and Ola, which have significantly decreased the hassle of roaming around and looking for yellow taxis and then, hearing a straight ‘no’ on the face.
While the drivers are known to reach the point of pick up point on confirmation of the ride, leaving us with absolutely zero work to do, a recent case is making us think otherwise.
In a bizarre incident that took place with an individual named Preshit Deorukhkar, his Uber driver went for a trip across the city without even picking him up! After all, even the drivers need some alone time, right?

Preshit took to Twitter immediately to report his situation to Uber. In his post, he mentioned that the driver had started the trip without even reaching the location. He tried to call the driver, but who cares? He was having the time of his life at the rider’s expense.
@UberINSupport Hi, your 1-trip driver has started the trip without arriving at the location. His phone isn't reachable. What do I do? pic.twitter.com/L6tRT95gmI

With no choice left, Preshit tracked the driver’s journey on the app to keep Uber updated about the unusual happening.
Now he is just aimlessly roaming around on the Link road. pic.twitter.com/ZcsY5pcQK6

Just for your information, the driver also did not have a proper name but had a ‘P’.
@UberINSupport Also, how is "P" an acceptable driver name by your standards? pic.twitter.com/ku8N3Ts7tT

Well, it seemed as if he needed the solo ride badly.
Pickup was in Malad West. Driver has now reached the edge of north Mumbai. I'm assuming he has to dump something in the khaadi. pic.twitter.com/pG3QmAo6lg

Umm… Did he just take the Gorai jetty to the other side? pic.twitter.com/eeIdoSBVLw

He was in no mood for pickups, for, ‘Zindegi Na Milegi Dobara’.
Looks like he is going to medicate. Must've been a tiring day so far. 😂 pic.twitter.com/6dO8ziyqd6

Or was there some mysterious plan, eh?
Or he is dumping a dead body sealed in the car deep in the mangroves, me thinks. pic.twitter.com/SBokjKaLkK

Time to get back to the chaos, brother.
Job done. He's on his way back to the city. Hopefully. pic.twitter.com/jJuoHByVoT

He is taking the longer, less scenic route back the city now. pic.twitter.com/uW1RogD6gL

What a twist in the story! He is not finished yet.
Whoops! Change of plans, he is turning back and heading to nowhere pic.twitter.com/LXtN3NFJdR

You long drive is excused, my child.
"P" has now stopped at Vailankani church. I hope he's going to confess his sins. pic.twitter.com/sEY546CzB9
— Preshit Deorukhkar (@preshit) July 19, 2018
P has whizzed past this now. pic.twitter.com/SNO3liL0A4

The mangroves definitely felt better than the city.
I guess we are headed back to the mangroves now. pic.twitter.com/ni3QnxBYkA

There's got to be some major stash buried here, right? Gold? Drugs? Arms and ammunition? pic.twitter.com/wkjUmYUgCE
— Preshit Deorukhkar (@preshit) July 19, 2018
Oh no, we are on the last day of the vacation!
He's stopped here for some reason. What role are the cops playing in this story 🤔 pic.twitter.com/pgNdG5vXVn
— Preshit Deorukhkar (@preshit) July 19, 2018
He's on the highway now, towards the city. pic.twitter.com/YrnwlZXCet

Is there a rating for a trip to be remembered forever?
Oh crap! Looks like he's on to me. Trip cancelled. pic.twitter.com/7cEtYyOoEi

That’s a hell lot of money, but!
Ahahahahahahaha!
Rs. 857.43 for this ridiculous @Uber trip. pic.twitter.com/qlzc4hrbKD

However, Uber did reply to the rider on the mysterious ride. Oh, wait, where is the apology?
Here’s Uber’s response about the case.
Driver goes for a joyride, tries to dupe the rider, wastes rider’s time, and all he gets is a “note” on his profile
All I got was this response from their internal support system. Note the lack of “sorry” or “apologies” in the response
🙄 pic.twitter.com/EcUxOTOgsM— Preshit Deorukhkar (@preshit) July 19, 2018
Jokes apart, Uber needs to be strict about these serious inconveniences caused intentionally by unruly drivers than just making a mere note. After all, the services are meant for reducing the struggles and not for harassing the rider.
