I’ve had my fair share of Uber rides during the last decade, and fortunately for everyone involved, nearly all of them have been pretty uneventful — which is what you want from a rideshare.
You get in the car, exchange pleasantries, maybe chit-chat a bit and then you’re dropped off at your destination. Business as usual.
Things don’t always work out that way.
It’s (hopefully) rare when it happens, but yeah, there are times when you’ll have a bad or weird Uber experience. I’ve been yelled at by a driver who couldn’t easily find me on the street. I’ve also had to wake up a driver who fell asleep at the wheel at a red light.Â
