Be it Lyft, or Uber…..
Rideshare driving is a pretty strange gig. A whole bunch of different people get in your car and you drive them places.
Most are really nice folks. Some are quiet. Some like to talk. Some are just strange.
You get your average number of conspiracy theorists who want to talk about the various groups who are controlling the world, and trying to enslave us.
You get the ones who want to discuss the Second Coming.
And you get the angry ones. The ones who don’t really know what they are doing when they book a ride. The ones who want to go to a store, or bank….and then return them home. But they tend to forget, or don’t understand what they are doing and are pretty incensed when you tell them you are dropping them off, and they have to book another ride.
There tends to be a lot of foul language, gnashing of teeth, and slamming of doors when that information is shared.
And then I just smile, and pull away to pick up my next rider.
Never knowing if that rider is someones sweet Grandmother, or a serial killer.
Though most are just normal people going to, and from work. Traveling to a friends house, going to the store, coming home from a store.
Or are they?
