    The only time we ever had to rent a car, we asked for a minivan type vehicle, having a house full of kids, The only thing they had available was a practically brand new Dodge Charger. The two weeks we had that car, my husband volunteered to run every errand he could think of just to play with that car. 🤣🤣

    This was one of the top three stories you shared in your book. It brought me back to so many times when people would be quiet a bunch of the ride and then getting closer to the end, spout out when to turn or slow down or whatever when I got close, as if I didn’t know where I was going the whole time due to the map Uber provided me.

    There's no place like home whether it be in your own comfy car, or home after having the bejeebers scared out of you from the possibility of being arrested,lol. Eddie I know it wasn't funny then, but it's really funny now, especially with the colorful descriptions,lol. Great story. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!👍❤️

    My craziest Uber ride happened one late night in Denver. I picked up two young men who were clearly intoxicated. While we were on the highway going about 70 one of them opens the back door to vomit outside of it with no seatbelt on! I yelled at his friend to grab him afraid he was going to fall out while I slowed down to pull over but was afraid to pull over too quickly as to make sure that wasn’t the cause of him falling out. Luckily everyone was ok.

    Too funny. The teeth are looking fine. I remember when driving people telling me I needed a dash cam and i still don’t have one. Maybe if I drove more…but no need at the moment

    As a fellow Uber driver, I certainly have some stories of many varieties.
    One that comes to mind is when I was accepted a trip at 2ish in the morning to pick up this clearly distressed and almost certainly cracked out kid (I'd say between 19-22). He gets in my backseat, kind of breathing heavily and panting (as if he just ran the 50 yard dash while smoking a cigarette) with a disheveled look and messing around trying to get the damn complicated seat belt on. So naturally, like with everyone who gets into my car, I greet him by, "what's up man? how are you?". He responds with this elongated R... "rrrrrrough" is how it sounded. I tell him that I'm sorry to hear that to which he abruptly replies with, "It's not your fault." Thinking to myself "I mean that would be shitty if somehow in a 6 second exchange that somehow I would be the sole reason as to why his entire evening had gone to shit". So as we drive along, I come up with the bright idea to be a bit more investigative and curious and make the mistake of asking him... "May I ask why your night is so rough" and immediately afterwards he barks (no pun intended) "WELL IT WASN'T YOUR FACE ON THE INTERNET SUCKIN DICK, NOW WAS IT?!" ... I said.. "that's true... so what kind of music do you like?" because wtf does anyone say after hearing some shit like that? It's not by any means my "craziest" story, but it's a fairly quick one that was "noteworthy" to say the least. I appreciate your vids man.

    I was called out for being nervous this morning by a guy that was zombiefied from being awake for a few days. It was 4:30am in a apartment complexes with people living in their cars and on the sidewalk. The people I picked up climbed out of a window so yes I was nervous.

    I have some crazy stories for sure. Some I’m not sure are even appropriate to be in the comments section. A pickup from a bar with a single guy who went from nice to talking about his “member” the entire ride, to a schizophrenic women I took home that changed personalities multiple times (yet was scared to end the ride early)….to a lady who called me “bitch” 10+ times on her ride….to five 6 foot plus African American men wanting to get into a little Kia Rio at 2am on a Saturday night….a couple breaking up in the back of my car….another couple absolutely destroying the back of my car with snacks they got from the gas station….to being propositioned from the father of the guy who ordered the ride to get his dad home safe….to just some other crazy stuff. Can’t even tell you how many times I was asked if I wanted to come in for a drink or to come smoke some weed as I’m dropping people off. People are crazy on the weekends.

      Guys can be such AHats, why would a female want a dissertation on your fkng penis, you should have pulled up to a police station and told him to go ahead and share with a cop. The schizophrenics multiple personalities, too funny (now at least lol). I'd say you have some great stories.
      Yeah, no way would I drive an Uber being a female.

    Man i have 2 stories where i was made out to be a murderous kidnapping, Uber driver lol.
    One lady she was older. Nigerian didn’t speak really good English and I was following over his directions like I always do when the lady told me after I take the turn that she wanted to mind you she didn’t tell me in anyway before the turn to take it. , she kept saying wrong and I said the right path as you can see and it shows the navigation system on my car screen right in the middle very easy to see or on my phone, mind you I do have a dash camera!!! so anyways I’m driving. She continues to start mumbling throughout this whole trip. I’m asking her if everything‘s OK she’s not replying to me and I go over this bridge and as soon as I go over this bridge, she screams at the top of her lungs.HELP HELP HELP !!! so it shocks me then I start screaming after I get over the bridge. I pull over and start telling her to get out of my car. This whole ride has just been weird to me and you know what she does….. starts laughing hysterically saying I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry, different way.. again all she had to do was look at the screen showing that I was taking her to her home at this point I was traumatized and pissed off but I took her home two minutes that we had. She continued to say I’m sorry. Well laughing she got out of my car and drove away as fast as I could…
    2nd story I was driving a girl and her friend Home one was really drunk. One wasn’t drunk at all and I’m driving them to the drunk boyfriend’s house so as I’m driving, I’m just trying to make small talk. I had to stop two times for the drunk lady to puke out of the car. The sober lady keeps saying she’s very very grateful and thank you for your kindness all this so i am thinking the ride isvgoing good but all the sober lady keeps saying is Are you sure you wanna go over there and not come home with me just tell me what you wanna do you I’m already halfway to the boyfriend’s house because the girls said that’s what she wanted to do about five times now and keeps asking her over and over and over again.. anytime just i am trying to talk. Sober girl now is very weird with me and doesn’t answer and then starts texting. Just very awkward. So I stop talking. So she realizes we’re close to the boyfriends house ask the drunk girl one more time. The drunk girl says I’m staying at my boyfriend’s house and now we help this lady get out of the car. The boyfriend comes out and gets out of the car I get back in the car and Sober says can you take me home to my place and I said OK she’s like I’ll just pay you on Venmo and I said OK that’s great its better for me. So she Venmo me the money and automatically says I’m just letting you know I share my location with everybody. People know where I’m at…. at this point, I understand so I say to her yeah I share my location with people as well. People know where I’m at…. Just because I was so sick of this trip. And she says oh who do you share with your girlfriend and I say I share with a couple friends.. that makes sense why you’ve been weird this whole ride I’ve done nothing but try to be nice to you guys and help your drunk friend and you were telling me how kind I was I don’t know why I deserve this weirdness.. She proceeds to tell me that it’s weird that I have a hat on as a Uber driver. That’s some serial killer type stuff.. and I tell her no it’s not. That’s just your mind perceiving your thoughts in your biases. And she says I’m sorry I do watch a lot of murder mysteries. Its not you it’s just me so we talk a little bit more not really., And I tell her listen the last thing that I want is anything to do with any of my passengers besides take them home I want to go to my family and get my passenger home safe and I said a lot of media produces a lot of scare tactics and make the world out to be this rampant place with Uber drivers trying to kidnap people a lot is the other way around where passengers actually kill Uber drivers .. and she tells me maybe I shouldn’t wear a hat while Overing when she gets out and I tell her maybe you should look at what goes on that is good in the world and I hope you have a good night and that was that.. Not really exciting stories lol but they are both my stories lol 😆
