Remember on class trips when you would leave the bus but always wonder what the bus driver did while you were gone?
You would, of course, get instantly distracted by being in school shortly after, but there would always be that small delay when you thought about how it wasn't fair the driver couldn't come in to do whatever activity you were doing.
Liam Murphy decided to end this awful trend of leaving drivers behind to wait for everyone to finish his or her fun.

According to a post on Liam's Facebook, the Ireland native was in Dubai when he decided to make a trip over to Abu Dhabi for a day at the Ferrari World theme park, supposedly the largest indoor theme park in the world.
Usually, park goers rent taxis for the day and have the drivers wait outside the park while they're inside.
Liam, who was traveling alone on business, struck up a conversation with his driver, Shakiha, and found out, despite dropping off tourists at Ferrari World for the past 14 years, he's never actually been inside.
Tickets run about $69 per person, but that is too expensive for Shakiha; he told Liam he sends most of his money back to his family in India.
Liam heard Shakiha's story and took the opportunity to do something nice for his driver by offering to pay for Shakiha's ticket into the park.
The duo's adventure was posted to Facebook, and the pictures are incredibly sweet.

Here's Shakiha checking out a Ferrari at the park.
Liam and Shakiha went on the Fiorano GT Challenge.

Liam wrote in the post,
Got a taxi from Dubai to Abu Dhabi today. Indian taxi driver living here 14 yrs yet was never in Ferrari World. He was going to wait in the car for 4 hrs. Today I made his dreams come true for the laugh....'I will pray God for you sir'....some craic with the hoore all day. His first ever roller coaster ride was on the fastest in the world. 'I do not feel well sir". Shakiha will sleep well tonight.'
After a long day of touring the park, Liam even bought Shakiha some pizza.
Liam sounds like a great guy. Also, Ferrari World looks dope.
