Gas, Grass, or Crash

The trick with Uber is to never look out the driver’s windshield. Just look out the passenger windows and you’ll have fewer heart attacks.

Random nonsense three days a week
When we were in the US, we only used Uber at night (and practically for free thanks to those $20 -off-your-first-ride promos). It saves you from a lot of heart attacks when you can’t see anything 😉
I’ve had an Uber driver turn onto the oncoming lane one night, we all yelled at him to get into the proper lane. Lest to say I did feel my heart flutter and shake in my chest. I had to come to terms with my life during those moments.
What the carp?
How do some of these people even get their licenses?
Cracker Jacks boxes.
Hey, what could go wrong with a business based on untrained people in unmonitored equipment interacting with the public in potentially hazardous ways?
They call it a TAXI service or trucking or amusement parks or fast food or some such.
You would be amazed [ or is that horrified? ] on just how much businesses get away with to be able to squeeze those extra dollars out for the executive bonuses every year.
When heavily regulated taxi monopolies can show a prefect record of safety, clean and functional equipment, and no murderer/rapist/thief drivers, I’ll never use Uber again. But since they can’t, I’ll take my chances with well-reviewed private drivers.
Convenient But Harrowing? I’m guessing you meant Useful But Exasperating. Or Utilitarian But Excruciating or something.
Btw, about the ‘5 days a week’ in the page title – are you procrastinating, which I could get, or is there a hidden meaning, which I don’t get? Didn’t? Yet?
Never mind. I just realized it’s either 3 days a week, which is wrong if you’re paying at least 5 bucks a month, or 4 days a week, which is wrong if you don’t. This way it’s consistently wrong *and* historically justifiable, which obviously is the percentage bet. Or all politicians are full of it, but what are the odds of that.
Politicians are like diapers and need to be changed often and for the same reasons.
Only used it a few times but they were all better than the average taxi. Which says more about taxis than Uber I think.
My impression of taxis in NYC is that they won’t *quite* kill you. Probably the paperwork is a bitch.
I started singing the song from crazy taxi . I used to just drive around the ocean chasing whales
Someone should make a Crazy Uber game.
I’ve always had good drivers in Austin. Now that Uber took their ball and went home over being told they had to follow the same rules all the other taxi services do, I have yet to see the quality of any of the smaller companies that are eating their lunch, but I expect their drivers are mostly the ones Uber and Lyft left behind.
LOVE THE CRAZY TAXI REFERENCE!!!
The Offspring yelling out of the tv is perfection!
Huber used Uber.
Try taking an uber in a city like Las Vegas… and being a girl.
Suddenly every uber driver is a ‘John’ willing to trade sexual favors for a free car ride.
Once I had a guy play nothing but sexual innuendo music for the entire 30 minute ride. He was sorely disappointed when we reached my gate and I told him I could walk to my house from there.
