Rideshare After Dark

Being a share ride driver working the late or overnight shift has its challenges. You have to manage the behavior of people who are sometimes intoxicated, mentally challenged, upset, and belligerent. I'm the nicest person in the world, and I always politely let people know I'm the captain of this ship. I am always respectful, and I expect it in return. When dealing with the public, you never know what you might see on any given ride from the funny to the perverse and everything in between. You have to be ready for anything and have a quick mind to overcome any situation. People and situations come at you quickly and in real time. These stories are just a snapshot of what I have had to deal with in doing over 30,000 Uber and Lyft rides. You will read that I've been in dangerous and life-threatening situations. You will read stories of passengers asking me to hurt people for them. You will read stories of me picking up criminals who just committed strong-arm robberies and tried to use me as a getaway driver. You will read stories of me having to put people out of my car for inappropriate behavior. And you will read lighthearted and funny stories, too, and everything in between. Thank you for going on this adventure with me, and I hope these stories make you scratch your head in wonder, laugh out loud, and think, What would you do?
