Angering the Chinese and Good Pizza

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.
