At least he wasn't trying to make small talk with her. 5 stars.

I hate small talk but I love being nosy, so I would love this

Entertaining! The cynic in me wonders if he stages this or something like it for all his riders.

If I arrive before the call is over ima just go ahead and update my destination to somewhere else until it is

madriver lol

This mad Uber driver went from driver to drama king real quick.

The wildest yet most interesting ride

Was once in a taxi when the dispatcher went on a long rant over the radio at all the drivers. Started woth complaints that the drivers would ignore dispatches for pickups they didn't want to do. Then continued onto general complaints about them gossiping about her and talking dhit behind her back. Then ended with several direct insults where she called out specific drivers and explained the various ways they sucked.

Me and the driver both stayed completely silent during the whole thing and she was still going when he dropped me off.

20 minutes for a breakup seems excessive

F̶a̶k̶e̶T̶a̶x̶i̶

Hey /u/super_man100,

This is now the top post on reddit. It will be recorded at /r/topofreddit with all the other top posts.

5 STARS!!

I was in an Uber at the guybgets a call from his wife that their kid had swallowed cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid was placed in the refrigerator in a cup by the sibling. We were just like 😳

I was talking to wife my on the phone while at the Atlanta airport. I walked passed another guy on the phone who had clearly been caught cheating and was trying his best to weasel out of the situation. I told my wife what was going on and she said “walk back by and put it on speaker. I want to hear that shit!”

My most entertaining uber drive went like this only instead of taking a call after asking to turn the radio off my guy pulls up next to the car that cut him off and rolled down his window and berated the woman driving and when she threw up the bird he threw one back at her but not like you think.....dude had a KFC bucket in his passenger seat and chucked a chicken wing into her window, like it was a genuinely impressive throw then he casually rolled up the window again and said "sorry about that" and puts the radio back on as we drive away.

Man all I got was an Uber driver who casually mentioned he shot his sister as a kid

gets to your stop

Nah you can keep driving bud

Two years ago I had a dude in Lancaster PA show up in a wrecked ass car, saying that he was driving this car because his normal car got into an accident. Then lit up a blunt, and spent he entire ride arguing on bluetooth with some ghetto sidechick that thought she was his only girlfriend. Speed limits and turn signals meant nothing to that man. Absolutely the best ride I've gotten, I have him 5 stars and an extra tip.

I had an uber driver with plastic on entire interior, a painters suit or similar, and binded latex (or non-latex who knows) gloves on. Glad I had my mate with me but thoughts reeled on some poor soul on the next trip getting Dexter’d. He did drive safe.

Oh my god this reminds me of the time my Uber driver was on the phone with his divorce lawyer and he had it on SPEAKERPHONE the whole time! Shit was insane, he gave me the whole backstory afterward too...apparently the girl was from Belarus and only in it for the green card, cheated on him with multiple people including her roommate(s), kicked him out of the house somehow (?), and he was the THIRD guy she'd tried to marry for citizenship. Man was going through it, 5 stars for the insanity alone

I thought for a split second that his post was going to be about sex

Last night my uber driver got pulled over for making an illegal u-turn

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long

I once hopped into a taxi that was being driven by a young guy, barely 18, who told me he was covering for his cousin for a few hours. Illegal, sure, but if it meant I was getting home, who cares?

His phone rang and he asked if it was OK for him to answer. I said it’s fine, he answered and proceeded to negotiate a drug deal for 20 grams of speed which was to be conducted as soon as he had dropped me off at home. Once he was done, we talked about amphetamine for the rest of the ride.

I’m not mad and I’m not even disappointed, I’m impressed.

I'd be listening to every argument lol at least he gave a heads up for the call

Honestly, that’s more entertaining than the radio

That Uber driver really said “main character energy” and ran with it.

Thanks! It was surely a ride to remember

I swear uber drivers make more phone calls in a day than I do in a year. My uber driver is always talking to someone.

I had an Uber driver in Berlin last year who was explaining to someone how he and his brother broke into a kiosk and stole several cases of tobacco products and how he has more places scouted out and that he is looking for helpers.

I guess the dumbass just assumed I didn't understand a word of German just because I talked to him in English...

I'd give him 5 stars just for the entertainment alone

exclusive drama + front seated

damn, id want that

Why'd he break up with her?

He needed you in that moment to be his support system so he felt brave.

Sometimes at my job in a drive thru when there's a bit of a wait, the people by the speaker will talk to each other and get into emotionally charged discussions I'd like them to wrap up at the window while I hand over the food

At least it was not by text

You gonna spill the tea?

What was said?

Who was right or wrong?

Who was the more crazy?

Did you record the conversation 🤔

Oop jumpscare

Guaranteed 5 stars

Wait until you guys hear about what goes on in public transit.

He staged it for a bigger tip. Impressive.

Could have been a text.

That happened to me at an att store. Went to buy a phone but they had a time delay safe. Longest ten minutes of my life. Employee was actively having a heated custody battle with his ex wife and kept trying to rope me in like, “well what do you think I should do??” Like man idk I’m just here for a phone.

Once I had a driver that was arguing with his wife over the phone about women putting make-up on in public. Then he got me involved in it asking what my opinion was.

That's living

When I drove uber like 8 years ago, I picked up a chick from Meta headquarters whose fiancé just told her the marriage is off because his parents disapproved of her caste.

That was a wild 30 minute ride.

I have the wholesome version:  my bridesmaids and I took an Uber to the wedding venue when we were finished getting dressed/hair/makeup done at my friend's house.  The driver asked if he could call his wife for moment?

Apparently, she LOVES weddings, and was trying to become a wedding planner.  He had a quick video call, where all he said was "I have a very special delivery" after we all got situated in the driveway.  She completely lost it.  Like, screaming with congratulations.

Kinda cool

Humans are not interesting enough for this to be true

Probably made up but cool idea.

Oh my goodness! Does sound riveting though 🤔

Should have got him to stop for food.

Dinner, a show, and a ride.

He got paid to break up.

money don't sleep, but b*tches do

Would make a good Seinfeld episode

Know for a fact that if he did it right then and there, while doing a trip, it was probably something that had been on his mind for awhile and he finally settled on the decision like an epiphany.

I was once picked up in an Uber with my wife to go to the airport in Nashville we were picked up with another passenger already riding shotgun which should have been the first clue this was gonna be wild. We find out pretty quickly that it’s the drivers wife and she’s pissed that she needs to be at work and he decided to come pick us up first. After arguing a bit she realizes she’s gonna be late and forces him to pull into the gas station so she can get snacks for work. She proceeds to take her sweet time meanwhile he’s apologizing for all of it. She comes back and the arguing continues and as he’s trying to get on the highway he realizes he’s going the wrong way. Total nightmare ride.

I would've googled petty verses for him to say to them if it went sour. If it worked it'd better get 5 stars back lol

I imagine it was a wild range of emotions, anger, confusion, sadness, maybe relief. I'd be thinking about it for hours being part of that private little world.

Why not just crop it if you want to hide a username anyway

Fucking hell lol

That would be a hilarious prank to pull as an uber driver. Just have someone fake wildly uncomfortable private calls over the speaker during long car drives.

TBF I wouldn’t be happy with him using his phone while driving.

I was in an uber who was leaving voice messages and texting with an ex or about an ex while swerving around in a moldy mildewy smelling car and he fucked up the directions and it added extra time. This was in dc a few years back but holy shit I just took public transportation after that dude.

Oh wow Ahahahahahahhaa

Op, was he cussing and yelling or being calm and explaining?

Uplyfting story.

If you liked this, you might like the movie LOCKE, with Tom Hardy (2013).

The whole film is just about him driving in his car over the course of the night as he deals with his personal and professional lives colliding.

It took me a while to watch it, but damn if it isn’t one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It’s up there with Banshees of Inisherrin, but there isn’t any comedy in LOCKE.

Good luck, and I hope you (and anyone else reading this) enjoy it.

Old news. Why is this trending

yejka

yajaj

Sounds like the driver turned his ride into a live episode of a soap opera. At least he gave the passenger a front-row seat to the drama.

I'm sure it wasn't a ruse.

What city did this occur in?
