A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) has set the internet abuzz, spotlighting a uniquely Bengaluru tale that’s equal parts hilarious and bewildering.
In a WhatsApp conversation, a user recounted a surprising moment — when the cab driver they hailed turned out to be their team leader from work. The unexpected twist? He wasn’t driving for financial reasons.
“He mentioned he does it just for enjoyment and to escape monotony,” the message said.
This revelation — a senior software professional operating a cab simply for leisure — has stirred a flurry of reactions online.
Many netizens dubbed it a classic tech city moment, while others were skeptical, pointing out how unlikely it is to willingly navigate Bengaluru’s traffic “just for fun.”
“How do people in Bengaluru find spare time like this?” one user joked.
“Sounds more like a side hustle masked as a hobby,” another quipped.
Some commentators leaned into the irony of work-life fusion, wondering whether this speaks to burnout, hidden financial stress, or just an adventurous spirit.
Others compared it to similar anecdotes from cities like Hyderabad, showing how tech professionals often blur boundaries between careers and side gigs.
While some applauded the unique “work-break,” others questioned whether this was a symptom of deeper urban fatigue.
Whatever the truth, one thing is clear: only in Bengaluru would a boss drive you home after a stand-up meeting.
