I have said this before, one of the most important things to an Uber driver, female Uber driver, is a clean bathroom. Seriously. Starbucks went to non gender bathrooms a few months ago. Ever since, I have been saving money.

Starbucks bathrooms are disgusting.



Tonight I really really had to go. Like bad. I wanted tea too, so I pulled into a Starbucks. Mad dash to the bathroom, knocking over chairs and shit. I am ready to unbutton my jeans and go. I open the door to the bathroom door. First thing I see is the sink. It is full of wet paper towels. There are paper towels all over the floor. I
Look to the left, good God. The toilet seat is up. There is splatter everywhere. Up underneath the seat all up in the bowl. The floor is wet. I quickly determine that this is not even a safe hover situation. It is absolutely foul. The other door was locked.

So, I am like fuck  it. I go order my beverage. Get it. Then think, I will try the other lavatory. As I am walking towards the door, a young man comes out zipping and adjusting his junk. Fuck fuck fuck. Turn on my heel and leave.

Starbucks, I am going to be saving even more money very soon. Your employees are not as attentive as they have been in the past. I am tired of impatient smug young people. If you can't offer a reasonably clean space to release the overpriced coffee and tea, please am done.

People judge an establishment on the cleanliness of the bathrooms. So far, you get a zero.

Step it up. Qt is looking real good.....

I pick up a guy just south of dfw. He is at a taco bell. Not unusual, but he has luggage. But he is going to the airport. Confirm the destination.  Terminal d.  I ask, how did you end up at a taco bell?

This is his story. About 6 yards ago when he was living in Washington,  he had a bunch of friends over from out of town.  The guy he was visiting here in Dallas was one of those friends.  He had to get a bunch of people to the airport train station etc.  So, he dropped this guy off at the train station That went directly to the airport.  Apparently it pissed him off. So in retribution, 6 years later,  he drops him off two miles from the airport at taco bell.

That is funny shit.  A little passive aggressive.  But funny.


The girl with the elaborate Gothic tattoo on her forehead across her brow down to her temple announces that she was raised on Chicken nuggets and macaroni n cheese.

I believe it sister. I believe it.

This is a rant.

I fucking hate Google.maps.  in addition, I am really irritated  with uber. About every 4 or 5 logins,  they force me to reselect my navigation.  Even though I have waze installed,  Google maps is my only choice.

Yesterday,  I could not get it to recognize waze.  So I was like fuck it.  I need to work. Big mistake. On a trip from the airport, two unclear routes. That is bad.  Real bad.  Even though people say they understand,  they don't and it effects my income.

So,  fuck Google maps.  Uninstalled.  Go to hell Google.  You bought waze yet your signature product still sucks balls.

And as for uber, I don't need to reconsider my decision in regards to my navigation choice. So instead of harassing me about navigation, how about if we address getting tolls added.? I have to audit my fares everyday, 70% do not have the appropriate toll added. Fix that. Lyft too.

Going down beach street, we see this car. It has a handmade student driver placard taped to the back. The car is full of people. My passenger takes my phone and takes this video. It is really hard to see....but it was an old man bundled up like an eskimo...he could barely see over the steering wheel. One of the funniest things I have ever seen.....along with the handmade sign....
I am working today. I actually like it. No traffic. Staying busy.

Picked up 3 people from North fort Worth to dfw. The Hispanic lady right behind me is on the phone for the entire ride. Her husband, English speaking, is right next to me. She was speaking very loud in a very passionate conversation in Spanish. He is talking to me. I am completely on sensory overload. I answer: que?? I can't fucking here you.......I gave them a tip to get out of my car.

Once again I am waiting at love field for my next ride. At love, we wait on the street. Parallel parking. I am sitting near the end of the block. I can see 20 or so cars in front of me. Very few can parallel park. Some don't pull out far enough. Others go in at to steep of an angle. And others just fuck it up 27 ways to Sunday.

If parallel parking were a required skill, I would be out here all alone.
A post from the past. These people were great. They were so excited about WWE. I could have taken them to okc Ann they still would have loved me.

I picked up 3 people at DFW from Boston. They are here for wwe. Really stoked. Driving from the airport to Dallas. I took a wrong turn.

I said on our right Is the Dr Pepper bottling plant. The feigned absolute joy. Pulled out their cell phones. Faked taking pictures. They were awesome.
