Will You Cut ₹100 for Entertainment?” Viral Video Shows Hilarious Late-Night Uber Negotiation
In a bizarre yet funny twist on ride-sharing haggle culture, a passenger was caught on camera trying to barter “entertainment” for a discount on her Uber fare.
Anyone who takes cabs regularly knows the struggle of surge pricing, but one passenger decided to take matters into her own hands with a unique value proposition. In a video making rounds on social media, a woman is seen confidently negotiating with her cab driver—not for a faster route, but for a cheaper ride.
The “Deal”
The video opens mid-conversation inside a moving car. The female passenger, sitting in the back seat, leans forward to address the driver with a serious proposition.
“Aapko entertainment denge toh aap sau rupaye kam karenge kya Uber ka?” (If we provide you with entertainment, will you reduce the Uber fare by 100 rupees?)
The question is posed with genuine curiosity, as if “entertainment” is a standard currency for ride-sharing apps.
The Driver’s Reaction
The driver, visibly amused but camera-shy, turns around smiling. He gently waves his hand, trying to block the camera lens, and says, “Arey video mat banao” (Hey, don’t make a video).
However, the passenger is undeterred. Seemingly confused by his refusal to accept the deal (or the filming), she persists, asking, “Nahi? Kyun? Hum log bohot acche se entertainment denge aapko!” (No? Why? We will give you entertainment very well!)
The Internet’s Reaction
The clip captures the quintessential chaotic energy of late-night cab rides with friends. The passenger’s persistence, combined with the driver’s shy refusal, creates a perfect comedic moment.
- The “Barter System” Reinvented: While most people look for promo codes, this passenger tried to revive the ancient art of bartering, trading “vibes” and “entertainment” for cold, hard cash.
- The Unwilling Star: The driver’s polite attempt to stop the recording highlights the often awkward position service workers are put in when passengers decide to create “content” during their shift.
The Verdict
While it doesn’t look like the driver accepted the ₹100 discount, the interaction certainly provided free entertainment for the internet. It serves as a funny reminder of the strange, unfiltered conversations that happen in the back of cabs after dark.
