So I drove last saturday, I had like 22 rides combined and only made $160 over 10 hours... Tonight, a Thursday I logged in at 9 and off at 12 and made $65 in 5 rides... plus $7 in cash tips
Ride 1 - Uber - My first ride started at 9:30pm and was the first time I ever felt the need to break some rules... John, an experienced uber rider actually called me while I was on my way to ensure I knew how to get to his very nice Eastlake home - I walked through the directions with him and could tell he had some urgency in his voice... I arrived and he was standing on the curb, his destination Placentia Linda Hospital, His wife had been admitted earlier and he forgot his cell phone at work... It was time to turn and burn - we got there in 11 minutes, we both were pretty stressed - I gave him a card and asked him to update me as well as if he needed a ride home, I'd come get him...He gave me a tip in a handshake, 2 Hours later, he sent me a text, his wife was OK, just dealing with a bit of stress and had an anxiety attack she thought was a heart attack.... Much love and prayers to John and his wife!
Ride 2 - Lyft - a quick pickup at the Nixon Library - Nathan was headed to Newport after attending a wedding - who knew you can get Married at the Nixon Library?!? He was a 27 year old executive, the 20 min ride was very enjoyable, focused mainly on his crush on the Brides sister - he didn't get her number, Nice in app tip of $3 - thanks Nathan!
Ride 3 - Uber - a Pickup from Cassidy's and quick run to La Cave - they were loud and obnoxious but still had fun!
Ride 4 - Uber - a ride from the old Hooters - can't remember the new name but the boat used to be docked there - a very lucrative ride home..... The ladies were gorgeous and the guy was very generous - handshake tip #2
Ride 5 - Lyft - this rider was about 5 minutes before coming out - but she told me she ordered too early, it was pretty late so I waited - she and her BF came out drunk... Waze had me on a good fast track to his home but he wanted me to take a different route - This was 7 miles further - I'm OK with that up until they started fighting evidently he cannot control his "F" bombs around her father.... it started to escalate - at about 1 mile from home I said things need to chill or you're walking home... They chilled and I was happy to drop them off and drive home offline....
Done!
