[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of phone do you have? I assume that you need to look at it a lot while working (accept fares, GPS, rate passengers) - how do you do this safely?

Do you listen in on people's conversations as you drive?

Have you seen drug deals happen? What do you do with that, or obviously underage drunk people (or other illegal things, I guess?)[/quote]

iPhone 6s.  I'm a pro with the phone.  I can work the app and text without looking.  I can do about 90% of the trips in DC, Arlington, & Alexandria without using the GPS.  Getting really, really good with operating the app is big key to success.  You gotta be quick and make snap judgments.

I mean it's in one and ear and out the other, but I do hear.  People do this thing when they're inside a paid ride called "cabbie treatment" almost by instinct.  It's as if I am deaf and invisible.  People will say anything and everything without any filter whatsoever, ESPECIALLY ON THE PHONE.  Worst convo to overhear?  a break-up/fight...ughhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes, totally, all the time.  As in, I pick up a rider and we go to the ATM, then go to dealer's house to get the goods, and then take them back home.  In DC I absolutely do not care...weed's legal and it's not a crime.  Surge doesn't matter to ppl jonesing for a fix, lol.  I highly doubt it's ever anything harder than pot.  And I've done the reverse...driving a dealer all over DC making stops to deliver.  Pot culture in DC is kinda wild nowadays with the practical legalization at this point.

What do I do? I take anyone where they need to go safely and then watch the fruits of my labor flow into my bank account. [/quote]
