In a world where we expect cab rides to be smooth, quick, and uneventful, one passenger’s journey turned into a wind-blown adventure—quite literally. A recent review left on a popular ride-hailing app is grabbing attention online for its laugh-out-loud honesty and poetic frustration over… hair.
The Incident: “Open Hair, Open Problems”
The passenger took a bike taxi, expecting a routine ride. Instead, they found themselves battling the driver’s long, untied hair flapping wildly in the wind.
The passenger wrote (translated from Hindi):
“His hair was loose. He hadn’t tied a bun, so the hair kept flying into my face. There was no shampoo or conditioner in it either. I’m not even interested in men’s curls!”
This unexpectedly detailed critique has the internet rolling with laughter.
Image That Says It All: The Helmet With Hair Drama
A photo accompanying the review shows the back of the driver with long hair flowing from under a helmet labeled “STUDD”—adding extra drama to an already cinematic ride. The visual, combined with the rider’s words, has turned the review into meme material overnight.
Public Reaction: Internet Can’t Get Enough
Social media users are in stitches. Comments range from:
- “He needs a hairnet more than a helmet.”
- “Plot twist: The hair had more character than the driver.”
- “This review deserves a Netflix series!”
Some even joked about adding “Hair Hygiene” as a new filter option on cab apps.
App Experience Gets a Hairy Review
The app’s feedback section, which usually sees comments like “No Helmet” or “Unprofessional Behavior,” was turned into comedy gold by this unusual, but very visual review. The 4-star rating and a comment about lack of conditioner have made this one of the most shared screenshots on WhatsApp and Instagram this week.
A Clean Request: Tie It or Trim It
The core complaint? The passenger wasn’t offended, just overwhelmed by the sheer volume of unwashed locks slapping their face at 50km/hr. A simple hair tie might have saved the day—and a star.
Virality Status: Trending Across Platforms
From Reddit to Twitter (now X), the review is gaining traction with hashtags like #HairyRide, #CabComedy, and #OpenHairTerror. Influencers and meme pages have already jumped on board, remixing the incident with popular Bollywood tracks and memes.
Community Speaks: “We’ve Been There Too!”
Turns out, this isn’t a one-off event. Many users began sharing similar experiences, with one commenting:
“I once got off a ride with strands of someone else’s hair in my mouth. Traumatized.”
A Teachable Moment for Bike Taxi Riders
While hilarious, the story also highlights a small, yet practical point—hygiene and safety matter on two-wheelers. Hair can block the passenger’s view, create distraction, or even cause mild injury at high speed.
Final Word: This Review Wins the Internet Today
In a digital space cluttered with complaints and 1-star rants, this review stands out for its comedic timing, visual impact, and unintentional poetry. It’s not just feedback—it’s entertainment.
