12/14/19

Started a little before 6:00pm and rides were almost constant until I turned off the app at about 1:00am.  Fairly straight-forward night with lots of Christmas parties although there was an atmosphere of impatience out in the traffic, especially downtown.

Some of these rideshare drivers are not very good at what they do.  Just because they have a car and can drive it doesn't mean that they are qualified to be on the streets as a rideshare driver.  It doesn't make it okay to stop and block lanes of traffic just because you turned on your emergency flashers while you wait for the passenger.  You need to get your ass and your emergency flashers and go around the block until the rider shows up.  They will just need to wait for you if they come out while you are on the other side of the block.

Several groups of girls and not any groups of guys.  Multiple trips to the Fairmont tonight.  

A couple of comments from the night.  These are each from different riders.

- "I don't trust drunk boys.  Girls are different.  They make noise and and act silly but boys are different and I don't trust them when they are drunk".

- " I told the guy that just because I was flirting does not mean that I want to have sex with him".

People talk about personal stuff when they are in the vehicle which is one of several reasons that I typically do not mention names in this blog although all I ever see as a ride share driver is the first name of the person's account that is being used.  Listening in on these conversations gives me a little window into a lot of differing opinions from a lot of different perspectives.  Many times it is an educational experience for me while other times it is an experience that will serve no purpose for me, or anyone, ever.

And to get to see all of the cool Christmas lights all over town, is great!

End of night taquito stop was at the Whataburger at 620 and Lake Creek Pkwy.
