nzoner 936 Posted September 30, 2019 Since the mrs(36C) is on disability and doesn't get out much and since fireworks is a seasonal business I've worn out my welcome staying home so thought I'd give this Uber thing a go.Have met some very interesting people so far including a woman from Israel,a student born in Russia,a student from Nepal and a woman who drives dump trucks and the like from state to state I'm not working the after bar crowd as I don't want to deal with drunks but after one week have already taken 5 trips to Kansas City which is about 50 miles away so that's been good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naomi 347 Posted October 1, 2019 Make sure you smile (or look positive somehow) in your pic. I think you probably would anyway but I can't tell you how many men don't look approachable in their pics and I wind up cancelling once I see who the app put me with. ...That is if you care about paranoid women like me, lol. I can do with neutral faces most of the time, but more men than you'd think scowl or look really pensive like they're phillybearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a real kicker,I've been on here griping about my Obamacare and it hit us yesterday while going over things that if I continue to Uber every dime I make will be for naught as I'll have to pay back every credit I was given.I've got a meeting tomorrow about hopefully obtaining some different healthcare.It seriously is a catch 22.

The weirdest experience I've had though was a few weeks ago. A gal in her late 20s/early 30s, an Aussie who married an American guy and they're doing 10 years here first, then there, then deciding which one to stick with. Anyway, she had a really clean sporty car and she was really pretty and classy. Completely outside the mold of what to expect. Great conversator, and had that classic seem to be loving life Aussie manner/vibe. I refrained (though it was kind of hard) from speaking to her needing to be careful. It was concerning. She sticks out like a sore thumb. But I figure her husband must give her some insight on the off chance it hasn't occured to her that she'll probably pick up some weirdos. (And no offense as there is certainly a range of types doing this, most basically good normal people, friendly and often colorful). There's been a few where their issues just kind of emanated off them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
