I always love when the uber shows up reeking of weed. Sorry but I didnt use the service so some wasted dude can come pick me up.

Had a guy awhile back show up and had a woman in the front seat. Both smell like they just smoked. Im thinking ok I guess its his wife/gf. They have usher playing and like 2 minutes into the ride he asks her what her name is again.

Uber is pretty trash in BR with the people and the vehicles. One guy picked us up one night in a truck and the entire back half of the truck behind the back seats wasnt there. Just the frame and the wheels

That has to be one of the least shocking revelations ever put on this board.

For some reason they seem to be ashamed

That's stupid to me. You're working a job, which is better than the bums out there, providing a service that people need/don't want to do themselves

Nothing to be ashamed of

VRBO and AirBnB are also worthless now.
Find a condo for $400 a night, then they tack on a $300 cleaning fee, $150 processing fee, etc.



Pretty much if you are traveling alone or as a couple hotels are the way to go. Have to get into 4+ people to have it stary to make financial sense.

I did it for a while and there are quite a few passengers that are very condescending.

I had someone ask me to wait two hours for them in their apartment complex before they needed to go to the airport.

I was in NYC for work last month. Uber was like a magic trick.

Like there was an Uber driver waiting around every corner no matter where you were.
