30 Uber Drivers Talk About Their Weirdest, Creepiest Passengers 

By

10. Picked up a couple from a wedding reception for a long trip. One rule I had was to let the passenger(s) initiate conversation.

So besides the usual pleasantries, nothing, which is unusual for a couple.

I heard some kissing, pretty common, then some movement, and before long I realized these two were fucking. I recall there being an old towel in the boot (don’t ask, I was the driver not the owner) I said “uh, I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but if I pull over and stop the meter, I can get you both a towel” and they’re like “why? We aren’t doing anything?” so I said “ok, well i’m pretty relaxed with what goes on here, legally you cant drink in a cab, but I allow it as long as the person takes the empties, and if you wanted to continue with your activities, i’m going to need to give you guys a towel. If theres any mess, I have to charge a cleaning fee on top of whats already going to be a long fare otherwise”. After a few seconds I hear “alright then”.

So I get it out the boot, pass it over, and get driving again. $120 fare, the guy gives me $150 and tells me to keep it. They weren’t nasty, I think they just thought they were being secretive.

11. Picked up a dude and his girlfriend in a well known bar district early evening during the summer. Dude is fine but gf is fucking wasted. I’m talking slurring speech, can’t walk, etc. Dude tells me where he’s going and I start the trip. As soon as a I take off she says she wants to go back. Dude keeps telling her that they’re going home but she keeps saying “go back go back go back.” Then she starts saying she doesn’t feel well. I tell her that if she feels like she is going to throw up, let me know so I can pull over and let her out. She says pull over so I do. She gets out and then just starts cussing me out for no reason and kicks at my door and the side of the car all while the dude is trying to hold her back. I take off and leave them there. First 1 star review I ever gave a passenger.
