Nigerian lady Alma Asibobi recently shared on her Twitter page an incident where she canceled a Bolt ride after the driver addressed her as “darling.”
Expressing her surprise and discomfort at being called such an endearing term by the driver, she decided to cancel the ride in response to the perceived unprofessionalism.
In her words;
“I ordered a Bolt in PH, and the driver called me. I said, “Hi, good evening.” Driver: “Hello, darling, how are you doing?” Me, completely bewildered: “I’m sorry, what did you say?” BD: “I said, How are you doing, darling?” Darling ke? I just hung up and canceled the ride,” she posted on Saturday, November 11.
“I don’t think anything has left me this speechless in a long time. Darling, as in how? From where to where? Port-Harcourt please.”
