When I get in a Lyft or Uber, I always greet them with a how’s it going or something like that. Several years ago, I hopped into this truck. I said hello, how are you. No answer. So I asked if they were doing ok and still no answer. Shortly while he was pointing at a note that I obviously couldn’t see, he said in broken speach that he was def. After we figured out that he can’t hear me and I can’t see his note, we get along great. I’ve ridden with him multiple times since.

Last month, I took a Lyft. As soon as I got in the car, the driver was like, dude, I know you from somewhere. It took us a bit to figure it out, but he and I had met once at a party back in 2007 smoking, drinking and getting crazy. Fun times.

Kind of related, several years ago, I briefly dated a DoorDash driver. I don’t see her very often but from time to time if she sees me out and about walking in town, she will stop and ask if I want or need a ride.

I’ve also made a really good friend from an Uber ride. While out and about in 2018, one of my stops was at a computer repair place where I was trying to get a powerjack replaced on the motherboard of a BrailleNote MPower. Even though I had the replacement jack, they didn’t want to repair it. Uber driver Jim who I had already had great conversations with about mostly music and concerts offered to put the new jack on to the motherboard for me. He took the motherboard home and repaired it. He returned it to me the next day. Since then, we’ve hungout, partyed and have went to a few concerts.

A few months ago, I had the longest Uber ride and trip to Walmart ever. There was a fatal accident on the interstate and we sat there for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Strangely, my driver was also a new neighbor who had just moved in a few weeks prior. He moved from Indianapolis, which I used to live in Indiana and spent lots of time in Indianapolis. I used to play in the clubs around Indy as well as going to tuns of concerts, partying and many other things in and around Indianapolis. Anyway, he and I made the best of our time stuck in the car and talked about anything and everything and really got along. Sadly, a 16 year old guy lost his life in that accident. RIP!!! Shortly after that day, I took the driver and his family soup and welcoming them in to my neighborhood. I haven’t had another Uber ride with him but we’ve hungout a bit since then.

Smoked a joint with a couple friends on an Uber ride and we all got faded as fuck

The wildest, in a good way was in 2019 where one ride turned into dinner and drinks followed by a six month fling. Her and I are still great friends.
