When I came back to the states from a long stay in Europe.....I was unemployed and I decided to make money by driving for Uber as I was looking for something more stable, permanent, and along the lines of my degree; however, I ended doing uber longer than expected because i kept traveling back and forth between the states and europe. My location was central jersey especially around Rutgers University coz Business was good esp. during Friday and Saturday nights. I met some really cool people and some ended up being my friends but also, I met some really fukked up people. Here are some stories I encountered........I got plenty more. I will try and shorten the stories. Grab a drink for a long read. Real stories
The crack head
This was definitely the most memorable story during my 1 year driving for uber. Here goes......
I picked up this white girl in New Brunswick around 8 p.m around the court house.......could have been maybe 25-28 years old but she looked 20 years older than that; frail dry skin, few teeth left in her mouth, dry shaggy blonde hair, with an odor that indicated she hadnt taken a shower in a few days. I immediately knew she was a junkie as soon as she walked into my car. I was to take her to Long Branch which was about 50 mins away and bring her back to New Brunswick.....cool. Long rides;more money. On our way to Long Branch, she recieved a call and she told me to head to a gas station on George St., New Brunswick. A black Charger pulled up with about 4/5 brothers inside. She told me to leave but to leave the meter running. Sure. She called me later maybe half an hour later and I pick her up from the same Charger and headed towards Long Branch.
When we got to Long Branch, this white dude came out (maybe in his 40s). Do the same thing? Yes.....keep the meter running. Later on.....I came to find out she stole $200 from the guys pants while they were fukking. How did I know? She talked alot and told me about it.
I threatened to call the cops if she didn't give me $60 .......lmao. fukk it. I wasn't gonna do it but I wanted a cut. Dropped her off in New Brunswick and this is what she told me before she left " You are a weird black dude. All black dudes wanna fukk me but you turned me down.....fukk you." (She had proposed a few bjs and for us to mess around in the back seat but........Nah!!!
Bob Marley's old friend:
This guy must have been in his mid to late 50s, short maybe standing at a height of 5'4, looked ethiopian which later he confirmed that he is Ethiopian. He had an awkward look to his face more like he didn't fit in with any group. When I received the ping........it was a lady's name. I got to some office building and a lady comes out holding the guy's hand. She explains to me if I can drop her brother off at home. "Sure"
Guys gets in......seats infront (I used to hate when riders did this but this case ended up to be different). I start off towards his destination and he asked what my name was in a very calm and soft manner. I tell him.
Then he apologizes for being a bother but I tell him.....nah you are not. Then he says he knows he is an awkward guy and apologizes again.
30 seconds later he asks my name and he apologizes once again (This happened almost every min till I dropped him off).
Then he says, if it wasnt for music.......he would have killed himself along time ago. This caught my attention with remorse. I start engaging in a converaation with him while he frequently apologized.
We talked on countries we have traveled to and as soon as I said Kenya. He looked at me and for the first time he smiled. He mentions that he has traveled with his band during his youth days around Kenya performing Reggae music. He continues by mentioning small towns that not many tourist know about apart from locals.
"So why did you move to the states and when did you move?" I asked
"I moved here in 1974 when Ethiopia was about to get into its civil war. Bob Marley brought me here." He replies
Are you serious? I asked. I am a very huge Marley fan and this got me excited.
.Why would marley bring you here? I continue with the questions.
The man tells me he is the one that wrote the famous song "Africans Unite" advising Africans war is not the solution. Marley heard the song and loved it while he was in Ethiopia for a visit.
He offered Bob Marley the song and told him to perform it since he is well known. Marley wanted to offer him money in return but he turned it down. So he asked Marley if he can take him with him to Miami when he returns and he agreed coz he didn't want to stick in Ethiopia when war was brewing.
To this point.......i didnt kniw what to believe.
I asked him whats one thing he liked and hated about bob marley. This what he said.
One thing he liked: Marley was very charismatic
One thing he didnt like: He was too nice to people and people used him for his money.
I dropped him off. Tho I have left alot of info. I dont wanna bore you guys.
The hot junkie white girl:
I picked this really cute white girl in New Brunswick around noon on a weekday. When u pick someone the app can tell u if its a drop or a stop. Stop meaning there is another destination after the stop.
Stop: Trenton
Our drive there we didnt talk much. I pull up to a very shady street in trenton and she calls someone "yo I am here. You got the bentley?"
She leaves the car comes back and we are off.
Destination: Franklin lakes.
She removes a belt, a spoon, and a lighter.......and goes to work.
Then thats when she starts talking.......I am a fukking loser. My dad has spent over $80,000 on rehab for me but I always run away coz I love heroin too much. She continues telling me all her problems while crying.
When we got to her dad's crib.......i couldnt believe it. Such a huge and gorgeous house.
The 18 year old slut
I pick this girl up at midnight with her friend at some rutgers frat party. I clearly remember it was around June/July. They are talking to themsleves and one of the girls says .....i cant believe I have had sex with 28 guys this summer and summer is not even over.
Her friend replies.....we are just having fun. Dont worry about it.
No bullshyt to anything. I got plenty of stories that made me question humanity. Shiet!!!!!
