1. yep, uber is like apple. you can't make a comment without 30 people saying 'DUUUH, UBER did nothing wrong, the drunk bitch should have known they'd NINE-tuple her cab fare at 3am when people are typically at the top of their game.'

its also 3 am on halloween when you would have to pay me quite a bit to volunteer to drive people around. pay gets high enough, you start seeing drivers. pay gets too high, my car would be empty. seems reasonable.

2. i think there's some union/cab industry types that are pushing these stories into the spotlight so i wouldn't be surprised if there's something more going on behind-the-scenes to make these stories go viral.

definitely agree

3. lol at people saying a 20-something girl who doesn't make alot of money shouldn't be able to go enjoy a night out with friends just because she doesn't have much money in the bank.

she could have found a friend to drive for free. or not gone so far from home. or not drank too much. or saved more money. or waited for a taxi.
