Oh yeah! A smorgasbord of four-letter words surrounding a cornucopia of f-bombs. A very colorful conversation with an ex military gentleman that was equally as interesting as it was colorful.
It is UT graduation this weekend. I had one rider tonight that will be part of those activities as he is part of the "UT Class of 2019". He didn't talk much but I was able to get out of him that he was glad to be graduating and would be going on to law school after a brief vacation period.
Dropped off the rider in an area near Mount Bonnell and couldn't find my way out of the damn neighborhood. I usually just turn around and retrace my steps but I was sure that I knew where the roads would lead me to. They did not lead me to anything except half a dozen cul de sacs on the sides of hills.
Wow how the tall, shapely, confident, well spoken, sociable, engaging, Australian accented female had my attention. Additionally, I was running extremely low on gasoline and was not sure how I was going to work in a gasoline stop. Like a dream she climbed into my vehicle and then said, "would it be okay if we stopped somewhere so I can buy some cigarettes". "Of course", I said, knowing that my problem had just been solved. There was a convenience store near by and we pulled up to it. "I'll be right back," she said as I was trying not go into shock at the $2.74 a gallon price of the gasoline. I had $10 pumped into the vehicle and was back in the drivers seat and she never knew what had happened, although it may have seemed odd to her that I was parking next to a gas pump when there was acres of parking next to the store.
I screwed up twice on one ride tonight, which has not happened before. I drove past the frickin' hard to see drive way when trying to pick them up, then I took the wrong entrance ramp getting on the freeway. I decided it was time to go home after this trip. I offered compensation to both (it was an Uber Pool ride and there were 2 people) and neither accepted stating everything was fine. Then I went home.
