“Today, I had the most traumatizing experience of my life. I got into an Uber cab after dinner with my colleagues. The cab driver was telling his friend on phone about customers being ‘very bad’. Suddenly, he turned to me and told me that as an educated woman I should leave work before 7:00 pm and not go out drinking with colleagues. I told him I didn't drink and asked him to mind his own business. He went on to call me a “slut” and also to say things like I can't even be his keep who cleans his shoes (sic),” the woman wrote in a post on social media.

Further explaining about her bad day, the woman said that after driving for sometime, the driver, Sunil Kumar slowed down the cab and demanded her to press the “safety button” on the Uber app.

Her post further claim that, "Instead of calling me, they (customer support) called the cab driver and he started telling the customer care person that ‘I am extremely drunk’. At this point, I had no choice but to start screaming asking the customer care to listen to me."

"The woman on the call spoke to me and I cried begging her to help me. She told me to get out of the cab and that she will book me another one immediately. Meanwhile, this cab driver started threatening me with things like ‘I will tear your clothes if you don't leave the cab now’ (sic)," the scared woman wrote.

Further highlighting over the incident, she said; “As I got down at 11.15 in the night at a not so busy road, I was waiting for a call from the customer care and also for my backup cab.

After waiting for 15 minutes and desperately writing messages to the Uber Customer Care, I received no support and I had to call my friends to help me."
