Not sure if you would call it “sweet revenge” but here goes.

A few weeks back, I was out running errands. It was around 15:00 hours and I started experiencing severe headache. The scorching heat had made it unbearable for me to carry on with my work. Since I was halfway around the city , I decided to book a cab and rush home.

The UBER-Pool arrived and 2 girls were already seated at the back. I requested them to make some place for me at the back, as sitting in the front seat while facing the sun would make my pain even more intense. They blatantly refused and carried on. Extremely pissed, I sat down next to the driver and tried calming myself down. Meanwhile, they continued blabbering about nonsensical topics in garish tones. I tried asking them to take it down a notch but they didn’t listen to me and continued.

Another rider was matched with our ride and the driver changed the route to pick him up. They kept cribbing about how these days everyone takes cabs due to the sharing concept, and how it was so inconvenient for them to accommodate some loser who would be “privileged” to sit with them.

The rider was a kind old man who was polite enough to wait at the location before we arrived. They said demeaning things about the man and I was about to give them a piece of my mind when one of them nudged my shoulder and commanded “ Come at the back, We don’t want to sit with this weird man.”

I smiled and said “Thank you, but I don’t really want to. “

The flabbergasted look on their faces was totally worth it :)

Pin drop silence during the rest of the journey.
