Since day one of Ubering I have been out for several more stints. I tried to make mental notes and even used the Notes on my iphone to keep track of the rides worth sharing. There are just too many, so for this post I will use more of a bullet format to share the quotes, strange circumstances, and reflections. Enjoy;
- "Ya know, you are like the first Uber drivers. Kinda normal and quirky. Many of the new Uber drivers are ex-cab drivers"
- One guy from the northern burbs of Chicago was proud that his parents were opening a pizza place that is part of a small chain. Aurelios! Don't get me started. Best pizza ever. Sweet sauce and baked on cheese.... in case you need to be forewarned.
- If you make it to The Litehouse for some food in Hyde Park, ask for Rico. Well, he corrected me, he goes by T-Y ( tee-why ). I drove him to his family's restaurant from the South Loop.
- I would love to tell you about Angry Chinawoman. That is my name for her. AC had a heavy accent. When people yell at you in a heavy accent, it is hard to not giggle inside. Somehow it was my fault it was cold out. It was in the 60's! I hope winter makes her move back to China. She was mean.
- I assumed my last ride at 10PM in downtown Chicago would be local. Nope. The very young lady ( ends up she was at least 21 ) wanted to go to Des Plaines. It is the City of Destiny.... look it up. That brought us to a small run down house with more cars in the drive and lawn than there were bedrooms. She asked for me to wait a few then take her to a bar. While waiting I watched two guys smoke a bong on the couch and another guy come out and stare at me while he urinated on the lawn. I think I helped her buy drugs. If she did buy them, she then gave them to the douche with a Vape Cigarette in the parking lot of Chasers bar in Niles. Quite a tour of the NW burbs.
- Time stamp this post. I did get to listen to some of the MLB All-Star game. American League won, so the last place Chicago White Sox will have home field advantage when they play in the World Series.
- One guy in his twenties said it is normal for his generation to stay out til 4. I told him I would never have made it til 4. Then we realized that my generation went out at 9 and partied til 2. His does not even go out til 11PM. So they are not a cooler generation, they are just tardy.
