Tired Of Unfair Cab Cancellation Charges? Try What This Gurgaon Man Did

You book a cab and the driver cancels, but you're the one stuck with paying the cancellation fee: This is a scenario that regular cab-takers in India are all too familiar with. So when it happened to one man in Gurgaon, he resorted to humour instead of complaining about it - and was amply rewarded for it (if your definition of ample is two samosas).

On October 21, Abhishek Asthana booked an Ola ride to the airport for himself and his brother, but his driver cancelled the ride- while he was forced to pay the cancellation fee. He posted about the incident on Twitter with a hilarious analogy:
 

Yesterday, Ola charged cancellation fee even when the Driver denied duty, it's like u ask "Samosa hai?"
Shopkeeper says "No" & takes 10 Rs

While the cab company reversed the charges, they also went one step ahead:
 

Charges reversed and sorry for the trouble. Now, where do we send the samosas?

Yes, they actually sent Mr Asthana and his brother two samosas for their troubles:

While many appreciated Ola's response, others felt that Mr Awasthy could have gotten a better deal with a different analogy:
 

You should have used a jewellery example. Aap ki pas gold ring hai?

You should have made the analogy with a iphone

Ola must be thanking that you didnt mention German Chocolate Pastries...:-)

But at least now you know what to do the next time your driver cancels your ride!
