Stories from my Uber days

I drive Uber. I meet all kinds of people. Mostly good. Some bad. On this page I will post stories and thoughts from my Uber driving days. Have fun reading.

Dumbest Rider I've Ever Met

I came across the dumbest rider today and must be the absolute shortest ride.

I had to drive 10 minutes to "67 Albert Ave, Chatswood" to pick up the rider.

After I've arrived and waited for about 5 minutes, I received a text message: "There's a white car is that yous (sic)?"

That was 2:11pm.

I replied no. After a few more messages I called her. She said she's at the Interchange (train station). I told her I can't go there. I said I was at the address she specified.

Then she said she was at Westfield. So I drove to the street closest to the train station and asked if she knew where Zara was (see Victor Street in map below). She said yes but it'd take her 5 minutes to get to me. I thought it was odd but ok.

Then she said she's at Nando's and asked me to pick her up there. I had to go around the block to get to her. She texted me at 2:20pm. I called and spoke to her so by the time I drove to the place, it would have been 2:25pm.

All up it's now at least 25 minutes to pick up the rider.

Then I found out where she's going - Meriton Serviced Apartments.

I've used Google Maps to show you the distance between where I picked her up and where she's going (look at the blue dots):

Dumbest Rider

67 Albert Ave is where that "Agency for Clinical Innovation" is on the map.

The stupid bitch could have walked for 8 minutes!

I told her she could have saved herself some money by walking.

She said "Oh really? Oops!"

I told her that she had walked further than she needed to. "Oops!" she said.

I showed her where her specified address was in relation to where I picked her up as we drove past. "Oops!" she said.

I showed her where her destination was. Another "Oops!".

Seems that's all she knew what to say.

25 minutes to pick up the rider, 2 minutes to reach the destination. Made $6.40.

I should have cancelled the trip as a no show. Would have made more money and save more time.

I don't care if you are NOT from around here....LOOK AT THE ADDRESSES - 67 Albert to 79 Albert - It's NOT THAT FAR!

This woman is not lazy. She's just stupid.
