It's hard enough finding a rideshare driver during peak hour, but imagine getting your brother, too.

The stars aligned for Praveen Raj, who was surprised to get matched with his elder brother on ride-sharing app Grab, on Tuesday.

His brother, Pritheevy, didn't waste a moment to troll him first though, and started sending him messages in the app to hurry to the pick-up point.

And at the end of the trip, Praveen kindly gave his brother a five-star rating, but added in the comments: "Driver a bit ugly."

Praveen told Mashablehe was surprised to see his brother on the app, because he wasn't looking at the matching screen while booking. Grab's interface shows you which drivers are nearby, before a match is made.

"Yes, I did get charged [for the ride] but I'll get it back in other ways," he said.

"But he made me sit in front though, unlike in the back as usual, because apparently he wasn't my 'driver'," he added.

His brother, Pritheevy, said the driver app doesn't show the rider's name until the trip is accepted, so he didn't realise he was getting Praveen, either.

"He wanted to sit at the back, but I demanded he sit in front," he confirmed.

And the ride was already prepaid on the app once the match was made, so there wasn't any backing out of paying for it, he said.

"(Praveen) has been asking me to return the $11 he paid, but I'm not planning to," said Pritheevy.

Now that's what we call revenge.
