A story from December

It was dark outside. I am heading down a one way service road. My theory is that it is always better to undershoot a turn than to overshoot it on a one way. Passengers get irritated if we have to go a mile or two to get back to the one way...but they always appreciate a simple uturn.

So, I undershoot the entrance to a huge business complex. Then i get pinged for another ride. SWEET. We go around the back to the front. I drive to the pin. There is a huge marquee, but the name of his company is not on it.

There is a lady standing in front of the adjacent building, we ask her if she knows of the business. She does not.

So we go back on the street. No more marquees. We go across the street. I see an address 14201. I look at the address in the app. 14241. I said that it must be the first building. We pull up. I see the address. 14241. He is sweet. Thanks me for my persistence. Tips and gets out of the car.

I close out the ride. My next ride is 14221. NO FUCKING WAY.

I hope 50 feet pull up in front of the same lady, roll down the window, and say: Dorothy, I believe we have met. I am tanya your uber driver.

We both howled with laughter. 

She was the nicest lady ever.
