Today (Saturday) was probably one of my most epic nights - I had a Bachelorette party as well as a 31 year old who might have partied a bit harder than she could handle... Tonight lent itself to the better of storied "Behind the Windshield"...
I started a bit later tonight - was getting over sitting in a parking lot for a while so I headed out at Midnight...
Fare 1 - Uber - 4 intoxicated 30+ year old ladies celebrating a marriage of one - yes Bachelorette style party.... I guess as we get a bit older we can afford to spend a bit more - pickup from Hop Scotch - destination was "The 80's Bar and Grille" - the entire drive was discussion of perversion - the lady in the passenger seat multiple times told to "make me happy" to get the short ride for free - I wasn't in to that but did laugh quite a few times - the Maid of Honor did, however show some respectful interest... I may be heading to a wedding soon...Interesting ride for sure...
Fare 2 - Uber - Dude at 80's - sat 6 minutes, he got in the car and said can we wait another 5 minutes - I asked where we were going, he said DTF - I said no, cancel and re-order - he was too drunk, gave myself 5 stars and accepted the $5 cancellation - might be a bit shady however if you order Uber you need to be ready....
Fare 3 - Uber - AMC tro west Fullerton, quick ride, nice couple...
Fare 4 - Uber - got a call for DTF 7 miles away - a nice 31 year old celebrating her Birthday... I was a bit shocked at how many presents we loaded into the car yet she was going home to a gifted hotel alone... A few minutes of saying goodbye she finally hopped into the back seat... I let her friends take my photo and that of my car and plates, even though Uber has that info - I assured them I wasn't a crazy lunatic and we were on or way - 5 miles to the destination... First thing she asked me was what kind of Girl Scout cookies I preferred - Caramel D's for sure - she hooked me up with a box... :) Great tip! She seemed totally fine when I picked her up but her level of sobriety seemed to decline quickly - her friends sent her off with a few shots in a row - she told me she felt sick so we pulled over quickly and I handed her a bag - fortunately we stopped quick enough and the bag worked... She was embarrassed and apologized profusely - we got to her Hotel and the concierge helped unload the gifts, she took the bag and thanked me for my hospitality and preparation... I saved her $200 from barfing in the car...
Fare 5 - Uber - a cool dude, a quick run to San Dimas - Thought at first it said Simi Valley which I would have declined due to being tired, and it raining however I then saw the map and said no problem!
This evening re-vamped the fun of driving, I laughed more than I have in a long while...
