My beloved tells me constantly I am actually too friendly with people.
That said, he also knows I have PTSP and my Fight-Or-Flight reaction is really good. Discovered that trait years ago when recovering from an event at my workplace.
I do understand where you and saxophonist are coming from.
My beloved freaked out when he was listening several years ago to the racist Jesse Jackson talk about when he was a waiter how he would spit on the food of white people who he didn’t like.
Until that moment it had never crossed on either of our minds that people could be that evil and vicious.
Since then, he will not be seated in an area where a black mail is the server. My beloved is from New York and he thought he’d heard of everything until he heard Jesse admit to doing that action. Yuck.
We’re really cautious in our own way... in the past 20 or so years we can count on one hand (with fingers left over) of the people we’ve allowed into our home who were not workmen. Of those workman, we are extremely careful when hiring.
Maybe not.I have had long chats with many UBER drivers and found it enjoyable.Maybe the author has the same and felt led to bring this up.
We’re cool. 8!)
Why would anyone talk to an Uber driver about anything?
Heck, a lot of Freepers ask the same about you. Why ask you anything about anything, to quote Game of Thrones...”You know nothing...”.
Well I do Lyft part-time and I have had convos with my riders that covers everything from marriage to politics.
I have a 5.0 rating, 2 proposals and one local political run for school board under my belt.
Here, where I've been for 20 years and am somewhat comfortable, I might say a couple of things.
But not to strangers.
Thanks for asking. The new companys name is Tryp. Theyve been beta testing their apps in south Florida for two months The CEO said Tryp will be up and running in four markets by end of 2019, and 46 more by end of 2020. The next ones to open up will be Orlando and New Orleans. The company had 2,000 drivers signed up in Miami/Ft Lauderdale market when it launched there. Los Angeles County had over 5,000 drivers already signed up. If the company can get regulatory approval there, Im sure thatll be one of the markets to open next year.
Drivers love the better pay and the stock options, and that Tryp drivers are the companys customers. Passengers are enthusiastic about Tryps features related to safety and price. And both drivers and passengers love Tryps free referral system. Every time someone you refer takes a ride, you get 40 cents. If your balance from these 40-cent referral fees is less than $25, you can use your balance to pay for Tryp rides. If your balance is above that, you can cash it out. If someone you referred upgrades from being a (free) passenger to being a Driver, youll earn a $25 commission when they pay their $98 setup fee, and youll earn a 30% commission every time they pay their monthly subscription that allows them to accept hails from passengers. It would be a pleasure and an honor to refer any of my FRiends here. Inbox me if youd like to be referred!
All I’ll say is you misunderstood what I said.
LOL
