'Superhero in a cab’: LinkedIn user’s story about driver's kindness wins hearts
The story of a kindhearted car driver shared by a LinkedIn user has created a buzz online.
The stories of people having interesting conversations with their cab drivers often leave people with a warm feeling in their heart. Just like this tale of an Uber driver who went above and beyond to help a customer. The story of their interaction is winning people’s hearts.
The customer, Harsh Sharma, took to LinkedIn to share his experience. He also posted a few images of the cab driver. Not just that, he also added the hashtag #SuperheroInACab to show his appreciation for the person.
“The person you see in this photo, he's not my relative, friend or anyone whom I knew until this happened. This Uber driver named Ravi unlike other cab drivers talking on earphones due to language barrier, he saw I haven't sleep due to my flight,” Sharma wrote. In the next few lines he explained how Ravi helped him take a nap in the car and also found a good eatery for him to have his breakfast.
“He organised the seats so I could lie down. Then he asked me ‘sir breakfast eat?’. I said no. He told me ‘you sleep, I stop at good restaurant’, 1 hour later he wakes me up. We are at a very crowded restaurant, he arranges a table for me. The restaurant was self-service, but he brings menu to me and suggests some specialties of south India,” he added.
“We eat together and later he brings coffee and says "isse neend khulegi". He didn't let me leave the table, I've met him an hour ago still he's treating me like his son,” he shared to explain what happened next. “An average man in his 50s just left a lifelong impression on me and I am left here just feeling sooooo good and wondering that somewhere in this fast paced life we left humanity way behind,” he also wrote. He concluded his post by requesting Uber to do something for the wonderful person.
