‘Itni door kyun job liya?': Mumbai auto driver drops truth bomb mid-ride
Aditi Ganvir, an advertising professional in Mumbai, didn't expect her regular commute to turn into a philosophical debate. But that's exactly what happened when her auto-rickshaw driver decided he'd had enough—just one kilometre short of her destination. Imagine your auto wala, asking you, 'Madam, why did you take up a job this far'? Surely, one will be as perplexed as Aditi was! In a now-viral LinkedIn post, Aditi shared the unexpected moment that left her confused, slightly amused, and stranded. She was almost at her office when the driver suddenly pulled over and said, 'Madam, itna dur nahi jaa sakta.' He refused to go any further and dropped her mid-ride. What came next was even more bizarre. Instead of apologising or explaining, the driver decided to question Aditi's career choices. 'Itni door kyun job liya?' he asked her, genuinely perplexed about why someone would choose to work so far from home. Credit: Linkedin/ Aditi Ganvir And he didn't stop there. Aditi wrote that the driver then began calculating her salary and openly regretted picking up the ride at all. While many would have lost their patience, she took it in stride and ended her post with a line that perfectly summed up the situation: 'Sometimes, your journey will be inconvenient for others, and they will leave you in between. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo That's okay. Just rate them 1 star and move on.' Her post quickly caught people's attention online. Many could relate, others were simply entertained, and a few were left shaking their heads. One user commented, 'While they are ready to do this to a customer, wonder if it was his own daughter or wife. Would he have dropped her 1 km before the destination?' Another added, 'I'm sure you're not talking about the auto driver here, right? I mean, he just gave you a life lesson in 'when things don't go my way, I'll bail on you mid-ride' philosophy.' And perhaps the most accurate reaction of all came from someone who wrote, '18 km of dedication, and 1 km of unsolicited life advice. Auto rides in India really do offer full-stack experiences.' In a city known for its hustle, this little moment was a reminder that sometimes, the ride isn't just about the destination; it is about getting you to question your choices.

Auto Driver Drops Woman Passenger Midway, Questions Her Life Choices: 'Why'd You Take The Job...'
Auto rickshaws are ubiquitous in Indian cities and quite popular for cheap short-distance travel. Despite their utility, the autorickshaw rides often become a source of hassle for the customers as the drivers tend to have their share of tantrums. Recently, a woman travelling to work claimed that the autorickshaw driver not only abruptly ended the trip midway but also schooled her about the choices she had made in her life. "Yesterday, my auto driver dropped me off 1 km before my office. Mid-ride. Because madam, itna dur nahi jaa sakta (I cannot go that far)" wrote Aditi Ganvir in a LinkedIn post. She further claimed that the driver questioned her choice of workplace, allegedly asking, "Itni door kyun job liya?" (Why did you take a job so far away?) The driver even started calculating her salary and ranted about how he should have never accepted the ride. "Sometimes, your journey will be inconvenient for others and they will leave you in between. That's okay. Just rate them 1 star and move on." See the viral post here: 'Wonder if it was his own...' As the post went viral, social media users were left amused by the interaction and sided with Ms Ganvir. "When podcasters turn cab drivers," said one user, while another added: "Everybody is extremely clever in calculating the salary of others." A third commented: "18 km of dedication, and 1 km of unsolicited life advice. Auto rides in India really do offer full-stack experience." A fourth said: "While they are ready to do this to a customer. Wonder if it was his own daughter/wife/sister. Would he have dropped her 1km before their destination." Last month, a Bengaluru resident claimed that during a routine commute, the autorickshaw driver started scrolling Instagram -- even slowing the vehicle to stalk an actress' profile. Taking to Reddit, the user wrote: "What made it worse was that he came across a post by Sreeleela(Actor), and instead of just moving on, he actually slowed down the auto right in the middle of the main road to open her profile and scroll through her feed." The man who was in a hurry to reach the office said he was furious but "felt completely helpless" at the situation.
