30 Uber Drivers Talk About Their Weirdest, Creepiest Passengers
14. I picked up a guy who wouldn’t stop talking to himself and kept mentioning he had taken a bunch of unknown pills earlier. He wasn’t aware of reality at all and would randomly get angry at me, screaming that I should be telling him jokes and entertaining him since I am his driver. When we were almost to his destination, he opened the door and jumped out of my car while it was still moving. Luckily I was near stopping and only going around 5mph when he did. He didn’t get hurt.
15. I was an Uber driver for about a year. Picked up a drunk younger guy at one bar to take him to another bar. We pull up to said bar and it is closed. Instead of staying logged in the app, the drunk slams a $100 bill on my dashboard and asks me to take him home. I actually attempt to do the right thing, but he insisted. I take his $100 and proceed to his house. On the way, he tells me how he is a R & D scientist in the medical field, and this is where the story gets odd. He also goes on to tell me how he’s in the mafia and killed me a man by stabbing him in the stomach. He then proceeds to slam another $100 bill on my dash and asks if I’ll hang out with him for a little while. The guy was smaller then I was and he was quite drunk so I figured “what the hell”. We get to the guys house, which is a mansion, and then sat in the car for about an hour shooting the shit. I then took my $200 and went home left to ponder if I had just become a prostitute and hope to god that was the guys actual house and that he wasn’t currently skinning the actual occupants.
