You might have come across various funny, weird and some inspiring incidents while ordering food or while travelling in fleet cabs like Ola, Uber, etc. The first one is a funny incident with a food delivering app - When you order food, the time between ordering your favourite food from an app and waiting for it to arrive seems like a lot. But imagine not getting your food at all after all the waiting. Sounds annoying, right? Well, something similar happened with a guy recently.
Here's what happened. The user shared a screenshot of a conversation between a delivery agent of a food delivery app, Deliveroo, a British food delivery company. The delivery agent messaged with a "sorry". When the user asked what had happened, and why the agent said sorry, the delivery man replied, "This food is very tasty. I ate this, you can report to the Deliveroo Company." The customer wrote back and said, "You're an awful man." To which the delivery agent replied, "I don't care." The post grabbed the attention of people who have had a similar experience on the app and said Deliveroo will not do anything about it. While some others sympathized with the riders and wrote, "Sad but a lot of these drivers get paid less than £4 for each delivery, they have to wait 30 minutes at restaurants, then traffic and many times miss orders etc and UK don’t have the tipping mentality like USA."
The other incident is an inspiring incident from India of a fleet cab service Uber. Some people never give up and strive to work hard no matter how difficult life is.

Nandini wanted to be an entrepreneur and had. started a food truck a few years back with all her savings. However, when Covid hit, she lost all the money invested.
