[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I LOVE your thread!  I wish I could hire you as my Uber driver; keep up the hustle!

My questions:

-- How do you keep drivers from talking to you?  Sometimes, I just want to stare out the window and go over a presentation for work in my head, not chat about where everyone's from.
-- Who was the weirdest rider you ever had and why?
-- Which university in the DC area has the best/worst riders?

Thanks!

- Past hello and confirming the address, I let the rider set the tone.  If they ask questions, I'll chat it up.  If they're silent, then so am I.  Feel free to ask your driver to zip it, s/he'll get over it.
-People who are high on something harder than pot are weird.  Thankfully every time I've drove someone really fucked up, they've had a pretty sober baby-sitter with them.  Echostage pick-ups at 3-4am in the morning are notorious for this.  A LOT of drugs get done there.  Nothing serious has ever happened, but this is about as risky as I'll go.  About 3 of those rides really stand out and all were crazy long rides to way-out VA...Reston/Manassas.  One had discussions of heading to either the hospital or home going back and forth...a little unnerving, but I dealt with it.
-GW is the best.  They most all seem to be pretty normal all-American kids and polite.  All the rest, GTown (especially), AU, and Catholic seem to be from a cut of society that I'll just never be a part of or understand.  I really get the "looked down upon" feeling from lots of them.  IDGAF, but still, it's a little sad that even I feel it in their tone.  Howard kids are, ummm, very urban, but fun...they break up the monotony.  I keep the radio on WPGC 24/7, so that helps me get cred I suppose, lolol.    Fun fact: There's a few white kids that go to Howard, around 5%.  I had no clue.  I could tell my white HU passenger got the question a lot from the way he answered it, lol.[/quote]

Thank you for your answer! :)[/quote]
