In between those there was a rider that smelled like a dirty goat and a very intriguing female who was very interested in conversation. She did not mind sharing details of her life and I cautiously entered into her conversations. I later found out that she was a hair stylist and that explained almost everything that I was wondering about. She wanted my phone number as she was going to be needing a ride a little later and wanted to call directly. And about 45 minutes later she did. On the way over to pick her up in Leander, 2 ride requests were made. I am sure one of them would have been for downtown and once I get the first downtown ride, the night is on. I got close and texted her that should make the ride request and I should be the closest. She called and said that she wanted to just pay cash instead of go go through Uber. I dont like doing things like this but I took her on her errands and we continued the previous conversations along the way. Once I dropped her off, I turned Uber back on and headed south once again.
Picked up some well off and super nice ladies in the Brushy Creek area. They were headed to the Domain. Once they were in the vehicle I complimented them on how nice they looked tonight and they all 3 exploded with gratitude. Lots and lots of conversation and comments about the man in their life and how those men would interfere with what an independent lady was accustomed to. Really interesting conversation between them and on a couple of occasions they included me. When I dropped them off I thanked them and told them I felt like I should get out and hug all of them. They thought that was so nice and reached up to the front seat and patted me on the shoulder.
Picked up one couple from a club on Burnet Road and took them to a place in the middle of an industrial complex. There was some kind of club in there and it was full. Not sure what it was. We stopped at a convenience store on the way and while the man was inside his wife talked about how much she still loved her husband and she showed me the ring that he had recently bought for her. When he returned the conversation eventually lead to a point where I commented that she had shown me the ring. She said that she was amazed that he had selected such a beautiful ring. The man confessed that he had help from the male jeweler but that the ring being displayed on the felt finger thing had made all the difference. Such though that he thought about buying the felt finger thing as well. We all had a really large laugh about that comment.
It took 9 trips and 11:30pm before someone was going downtown. Picked up 3 young ladies on the 4th floor of the Red Garage at the Domain and began the trek to downtown. OMG, my brain was so tired by the time a dropped them off. Listening to them talk about one of their friends and their circle of friends and who knew who in each circle of friends and the guy that one of them should stay away from and the friend that only hangs with this one guy because no one else will hang with her, HOLY SHIT! Give me a conversation with some sustenance. As we exited Mopac and closed in on the 5th street split, I begin preparing myself mentally for the extremely heavy traffic that I felt like I would be finding. Indeed, when dropping them off at West 6th and Neches the traffic was bumper to bumper as anticipated. The streets were alive.
I immediately got another ride request that was about 50 feet away. Somehow I managed to get over 2 lanes in standstill traffic, and pick up the waiting couple. We steered to the right on Rio Grande street and escaped the madness of West 6th street. Dropped them off and had another pick up waiting. Picked them up and received another request before I had finished dropping them off. Then one of the drunk little pricks threw up in the middle seat and on my back. I was pissed and when we got to the drop off spot I got out to see what the hell the damage was. The kids friend was apologizing profusely and was not getting a response from me. He offered to go get some paper towels and I accepted the offer. I was super pissed. They were looking at me like they were about to get their ass kicked and the thought did cross my mind when the kid started throwing up again in the yard where I dropped them off. I was going to put my foot in his ass and push him over into his own vomit. His friend and I cleaned up the mess fairly well considering it was after midnight and we couldn't see very well in the darkness. This whole time the next rider is waiting to be picked up. I finally got the disaster to a point where I felt like I could pick up the next rider without them knowing there had been an incident, and left. Once I picked up and dropped off the next rider, I turned off the app and headed towards home. I was also almost out of gas so I stopped in at the HEB and did some more clean up and put gas in the vehicle. Still pissed. I turned it in to Uber to charge a clean up fee and I gave the rider a low Star rating.
The next morning it was apparent how bad of a job that was actually done in the clean up. The sunshine of the day revealed much more clean up was needed. I am still pissed. A new fucking car and this punk is throwing up in it.
