99% of the time, ride sharing apps like Uber are life savers – say, when they’re getting your drunk ass home, taking you to get food when you’re so hangry you might die, or saving you from paying $50 for parking at a concert.
The other 1% of the time, well, you end up with stories like the ones below.
From the sexual to the creepy to the just plain weird, a lot can go down in the back of a stranger’s car.
Here are 15 of the craziest things ever to happen in an Uber, Lyft, or Sidecar.
1. Colton
“I had a Lyft driver that was extremely attractive, and I was with 2 girls and one straight guy, and I got the front seat.
We were all pretty drunk, but the girls were beyond and kept hitting on him. I passively hit on him but not a lot. We were also just very curious about his sexuality and he was just like ‘I don’t know, I’m straight but shit happens.’
Anyways, as we were getting dropped off, he said if we wanted his number, since the girls kept asking for it, he’d say it once.
The girls missed it but I wrote it down and texted him. And he was like ‘I’m around the corner. Blow me?’ And… that’s the story of me blowing my ‘straight’ Lyft driver.”
2. Julianna
“One time I got an Uber home by myself and I was nervous as fuck.
I went to go sit in the back and the driver was probably like 25-26 and he said ‘Oh, you can sit in the front’ and I was texting my friends rapid fire.
And then he said ‘Do you ever have crusty people that make you sit in the back?’”
3. Mandy
“I was getting a ride home after going to a poetry slam and the driver complained the entire way about how girls my age just don’t want to get married and asked if I would marry a guy like him.
He looked like, 26. And if you asked me, I would say I looked pretty gay that night.”
