11/03/18

The night was busy with back to back requests, but it didn't feel busy.

First request I have had for someone specifically wanting to go to downtown Round Rock for the evening.  There are numerous restaurants and bars in downtown Round Rock and this group was not wanting to deal with the madness of downtown Austin.  Makes sense.

It was several requests before I ended up in downtown Austin.  After dropping off on West 6th, I had a request from a little further over on West 6th right before Whole Foods.  The app showed that the pick up was on the south side of the street.  The only people that I saw there was a couple and they did not look like they were waiting for an Uber.  It would have been hard to catch a ride when you are making out like it is the end of the world.  I am sure they were about to get a ride to the closest apartment or hotel.  I turned into the parking lot near this spectacle and was going to try and circle around and see where my passenger was.  I then received a phone call from the passenger and she said they saw me turn into the parking lot and they were on the other side of 6th street from where I turned.  I told them not to worry that I was circling back around and would be there in a few seconds.  I looped around 5th to West and back to 6th.  I saw a group of ladies with one of them happily jumping up and down and waving at me.  It was a group of 6 ladies and they were a bachelorette party.  As they all got in I asked them if they saw that couple making out like there was no tomorrow and told them that was what had distracted me.  They all laughed and the lady in the passenger seat said that she blew her penis whistle to try and get me attention.  There was a moment of silence after her comment and it was not to remember the deceased.  I made some sort of acknowledgment to her penis whistle comment and all of the ladies in the back laughed.  There was one lady in particular that giggled at everything I said after that.

A large number of female passengers again tonight.  It makes me wonder what the statistics or demographics for Uber riders looks like.  It would be interesting to see those numbers.

I had a ride that ended up near 290 and Mopac so I took 360 out and around in the general direction of home.  It was about 12:30am and I did not get any additional requests as I pulled up to Whataburger to contemplate the conversations and activities of the night over a Combo meal #20.
