Uber - The fun begins where the pavement ends.

Unless you're impaired...
Probably for the same reason that people will take a different cab. It’s the one that showed up first and they are in too much of a hurry to care.
Uber - The fun begins where the pavement ends.
You can tell I’ve never used Uber.
Well it’s for them city folk.
Yeah but at leastaways it ain’t a hardscrabble one. Them be real dangerous.
I am betting the women were inebriated.
I think Travis McGee’s admonition to be polite and professional but have a plan to kill everyone you meet applies to Uber drivers.
Damn Straight
I am betting they were from Floriduh.
Thank goodness we got our gravelled a few years ago.
I don’t have a smart phone so have never used Uber. Never had the need or inclination to do so and it’s not on my list bucket list. Oh, all the fun I’m missing out on.
So, are they still going down the dirt road with the fake Uber driver? Just how long is that road anyhow?...
I live in South Carolina and I’m guessing that dirt road was as good or better than most of the paved roads I’ve seen here.

Sort of like this? Granted its Lyft and the passenger is the bad guy
“Hello, ladies. Hop in. Where ya goin’?”
“We’re going to Hooters where we work.”
“Oh, man. Excuse me while I lock all the doors. It’s for your own safety. Say, have you ever heard of the Story of O?”
“Is it about Cheerios?”
“Is it a Sesame Street episode?”
“No, the Story of O is about a guy doing nasty stuff to a girl, like I’m gonna do to you...”
“Stop the car. Let us out!”
“... starting with a quote from Rime of the Ancient Mariner...”
“Help, help!”
“... and then you’re going to write me an essay.”
“Just shoot us, please!”
Uber maps shows exactly where your driver is
Did I misunderstand you?
I had Uber pick my kids up Friday night
You even get a picture of your driver
It’s safer than a cab
No, I just never used Uber.
If that is the case, people don’t have much of an excuse for getting in the wrong car, correct?
They were “tired” and not at all drunk.
The Uber app already does all that.....and has for years
OK. And then what happened?
The passenger in the rear seat informed the driver that he was in the wrong location and that she was going to call 911 at which time the unidentified man snatched the phone from her hand.
The car stopped and both women exited on what was later identified as Mitchellville Road.
Police said the driver approached the women and one was able to grab the phone back and call 911.
The suspect fled and both women remained on scene until deputies arrived several minutes later.
“Although the driver’s intention in offering the women a ride is unknown, it is clear that both women were very fortunate to escape harm,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Authorities have not been able to identify the man but described him as having a dark complexion, possibly Hispanic or Indian, with a medium build, dark hair and approximately 5’3”.
