[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have kids? When do you drive the most? When do you make the most money? Have you ever been hit on by a drink passenger? If so, ever do anything? Do people you work with know you drive? Ever pick up someone you know?[/quote]

No kids and single...a girlfriend/wife would not put up with this kind of lifestyle.   Friday & Saturday 7pm until around 4am are the true money hours, and I typically drive Saturday & Sunday.  I'm ugly, so no and n/a...I typically say only five words on the usual ride: "Hello" and "Have a good day!" at the end.  I'm not much of a talker and would much rather zone out while cruising around town.  Yes, people I work with know, and I've practically started a personal car service amongst coworkers after word spread.   I've picked up a handful of people that I know.

[quote=Anonymous]What's some good advice/driving tips for an easily overwhelmed driver?[/quote]

Have patience, be focused, and be kind.  If you continually struggle with driving uber, go get a real job because you're not cut out for it.  This about as low as it gets on the required job skills totem pole.

[quote=Anonymous]What's your craziest passenger story?[/quote]
[quote=Anonymous]Any funny stories of clients? [/quote]

I have none, other than people getting insanely drunk, people awkwardly making out, drug-deal pickups and dropoffs all over town, "working ladies", dudes using uberPOOL to hit on captive women...but this is pretty typical for any driver.   If a ride gets really crazy, I kick them out on the side of the road, no joke.  My car, my rules.  I'm not dealing with drunken b.s. while I have all of our lives in my hands.

[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone puked in your car?[/quote]

Yes, multiple times.  I hope for it, especially at the end of the night when I'm already done anyways.  A puker in your car is a very profitable occurrence...an easy $100-$250 depending on the severity.  I do carry barf bags and they've came in handy multiple times, but there are others who just cannot hold their liquor.[/quote]
