But our stories are similar — and boring too — in comparison to this British man who was expected to pay a whopping sum of nearly ₹32 lakh to Uber for a 6.4-kilometer trip. Only because he was drunk. Or Uber was, but we’ll find out.

After a drunken night, 22-year-old Oliver Kaplan was left in shivers when he saw a message from Uber. “When I woke up hungover the next morning, the last thing I expected was a charge of over £35,000 [$39,317],” New York Post quoted him.

Apparently, the preceding day, Kaplan had planned to meet his friends at a pub in England called Witchwood after finishing his work for the day. He booked an Uber from Buxton Inn in Manchester to the Witchwood pub. Originally, the price quoted on the app was somewhere between $11 to $12, which he happily accepted. The ride lasted 15 minutes and, like most of us, he forgot about.

Until he woke up the next morning to see the hefty sum of over £35,000 couldn’t be withdrawn because of insufficient bank funds. Upon seeing the gut-wrenching price, Kaplan immediately contacted the Uber customer service department to find out what the eff went wrong.

Apparently, there was a goof-up at Uber’s end where the location of Witchwood pub in Manchester, England got switched with Witchwood park in Victoria, Australia.

Kaplan was grateful that he didn’t have that much money, otherwise, he’d have to chase Uber for a refund. “It could have landed me in all sorts of financial trouble. Thankfully they [Uber] were really good about it, and made it right straight away — but it was a stressful half an hour, to say the least,” he added.

Now that’s an aadha-ghanta of a lifetime!
