An auto driver scribbled a message in his vehicle that captivated everyone's attention. A passenger snapped a picture and shared it on social media, prompting a particular appeal. The plea, users suggest, was directed especially at female passengers who often addressed him in a manner he found irritating. Shared by 'nayascrackhouse' on social platform X, this post has already caught the eyes of over 150,000 viewers.

The driver earnestly requests not to be called 'Bhaiya' (brother) in a casual tone. Instead, he calls for more formal salutations like 'Brother,' 'Boss,' or 'Sir.' He emphasizes his discomfort with the endemic casual address. The endorsement this post has received is immense, with many likes and shares. Users also express their opinions through comments, one remarking, 'Our 'Bhaiya' has standards,' while another quips, 'Boss was more personal.'

A third user notes his fatigue of being casually addressed as 'brother' by female passengers, while the fourth comments on the personal nature of being called 'Boss.' It's speculated that this driver might hail from Mumbai or Bangalore, cities known for auto drivers who wear their hearts on their vehicles. Previously, another driver had a message about GPay not being available and refusing to stop at ATMs clearly displayed on his auto.

Recounting her story, a lady mentioned booking her ride via an app solely to discover the driver didn't accept UPI payments. She was unaware of this stipulation until arriving at the pickup point, as the driver hadn't informed her beforehand.
