Strangest Uber Experience - what's yours?

Today I caught an uber ride from downtown Houston to Westchase, about a 20 minute ride. I get in and the driver is listening to a motivational speaker, which was weird. It got really strange when the same 5 minute speech played on a loop 3 more times during that ride. My favorite piece of the speech was "unleash the beast inside of you".
90% of the uber drivers are pretty good, but there's always a few outliers.
Whatchya got?

Tried to get one to pick me up from a train station. Guy called me and told me he had to pick me up from somewhere else and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where he was or why the frick he couldn't pick me up at my requested location. Eventually gave up and cancelled.

I got jumped outside of Madigan's while exiting my uber ride. Uber driver was a steroid coke head dude and got out and beat the crap out of my assailant. I thanked him, walked into Madigan's and grabbed an ice cold Abita Strawberry.

Driver picked me up and took me exactly where I wanted to go. I promptly paid him and went on my way. I'd never taken an uber before so it was all so strange to me.

Had some old guy take me to Hobby airport. He was just a weird dude and talked about when he was suicidal and stuff.

Picked up in a fairly new s550 in Indianapolis. Older driver. Said he was retired and bored during the day. Not a great driver. Heavy on the peddles.

Got in uber intoxicated. They didn't know where the best strip club was. I found this strange as taxi drivers are always aware.

Ex governor Edwin Edwards daughter picked us up one afternoon. Very awkward ride.

Nothing exciting, just had an older chick in a Lexus take us to the airport...she was jacked up on whatever, just talked and talked the whole time...but what made it strange was that she told the same story over and over again as we rode there. She'd end the story, we'd go "oh yeah," and she'd just start it again like it was new. Heard it like five or six times in 35 minutes.
Eta...wasn't even a good story, she was just unhappy with the way Uber drivers have to deal with airport rules.

3:40am going to the airport and I was picked up by a little old Italian lady who couldn't read her phone, didn't know how to get to the airport, drove 50 on the interstate, and weaved in and out of lanes.
It was terrifying. And she wouldn't stop talking about the fact that she drove at night because she got too hot during the day and could not take the sun. But I use uber all the time and 90% of the time it's all fine.

Had a driver pick us up to take us to buckhead one night. She pulls up in this little green scion and she's gorgeous. She starts talking to me and my friends about how the nights going and then she asked If any of us had girlfriends, to which we all said no. She said oh that's too bad. She turned out to be a swinger and was going to some big sex party later that night.

Can't say I've had any strange experiences in my limited Uber use.
Had one guy from Kurdistan pick me up in San Diego. One of the most American loving SOB's I've ever met. Nice guy.
