There’s a plot twist no one predicted! A Meta engineer shared a wild story about receiving a text from his Uber driver in Delhi, which sent chills down his spine. However, what happened next sent the internet laughing out loud, with something for Google to think about.
Arnav Gupta, a Meta engineer and an entrepreneur in Delhi, shared a story about a spooky text he received from his cab driver, where the latter said he was “facing the threat of murder.”
“A chill ran down my spine. It is Delhi after all. Anything can happen. Is he threatening to murder me because I made him wait and mistyped it? Are people on the street threatening to murder him because he is blocking the road?” he said, sharing his thoughts at the moment.
Today I made my Uber driver wait for 2 min as I was getting out of my house. And suddenly I received a notification from Uber “I am facing the threat of murder”

However, a comical twist happened as Arnav opened the app to see the chat, where the driver said ‘ok’ to him when he asked him to wait. It turned out that the message was translated by Google. Wow!
“I clicked “see original” as at least 15 different possible translations roamed around my head. And then I heaved the biggest sigh of relief in a long long time. He was in front of Mother Dairy,” Arnav said in his post. This is not what you see everyday!
The post received reactions of shock and laughter, as people posted various remarks over the tweet. “I have heard a rumour that Netflix has bought rights to this story. Arijit is going to sing title song,” a user said.
