Nine Uber Horror Stories
Uber MNL Tips

If you've ever had a night out in 2016, you've probably ridden in an uber back home. Luckily (or maybe not-so-luckily), most of us just have a standard ride - either awkwardly, silently, or weirdly talkative. But nothing extreme happens, right? You're just grateful for the person who gives up their early Saturday mornings to drive your sloppy self home, but sometimes I bet you wish you had a wild story about your ride home. Here are nine stories to make you count your blessings next time you have an uneventful Uber ride.


1. So I was waiting with a friend in our small college town outside of a bar. This car pulled up with rims and blacked out windows. His window was down so I asked his name and he told us to get in but don't use the door on the drivers side (police were standing on that side because that's were you exits the bar) so we got in and there was a guy in the passengers seat. We started driving and the passenger started rolling up a brown paper bag, and started counting stacks of money in the front set. The driver was high as a kite, could barely form a sentence and would laugh at himself. I would say, "Take a right here," and he would say he didn't see a road.

2. There's an Uber driver at my school who like bumps music and has lights and stuff in his car. And he posts on Insta constantly (@uberleroy). i've never gotten him but he's apparently a gt.

-Christina from Delaware


3. Used Uber to go to a party. Juan picks me and my little up. We talk, he's like our age and from Gainesville. We love Juan and tripsy-y tell him we hope he picks us back up. Fast forward to 2 am. A girl picks us up. Once again our age. Me and my little are slammed and want Taco Bell. HOMEGIRL takes us. And goes, "Oh I'm glad you live so close to me you're my last ride of the night." Found out she lives in my boyfriend's complex and her dog has played with our dog before at the dog park. Then we find out SHE'S JUANS GIRLFRIEND. We shit a brick. Best night ever.

-Maryjane from Florida


4. I had an Uber driver pick me and a friend up from downtown one night, and he kept talking about how much he loved driving Uber and it was an easy job blah blah. Then he runs a red light and got pulled over and we had to sit there for like 30 minutes. And then he tried to make me pay for the ride! LOL nah, not happening.

- Paige from Georgia


5. One of mine got pulled over while I was in the car lol. It was pouring rain and nighttime, and he didn't have his headlights on...so like pretty unsafe. He kept apologizing and begging us not to tell anyone he got pulled over.
Another time, my uber driver who was probably 5-10 years older than me was really friendly and talkative for the 10 minute ride. After he dropped me off, he texted me something like "hey I really enjoyed getting to know you. Text me if you ever want to hang out"

- Kaitlyn from Pennsylvania


6. An Uber this weekend picked us up in a giant pickup truck (in the middle of DC). People were driving a little crazy so he just stuck his hand out the window and stopped traffic from inside his car when he wanted to change lanes. It was great.

- Ashley from North Carolina


7. An Uber picked me up once just to take my friends and I for a late night Taco Bell run, and he was asking us if we worked and stuff and when he found out we all made minimum wage in the food industry, he gave us a free ride!

- Kelsey from Florida


8. We got in, he asked if we wanted air on/off. Windows up/down. Told us we could listen to anything we wanted & had an aux cord. Offered us snacks. And told us about his business he use to have delivering food, kinda like grubhub but he done it on his own.

- Brittany


9. One time my Uber driver was deaf and I got in the car and was telling her to turn because it would be faster and then trying to make small talk... and I thought she was just being a b**** when she completely ignored me.

- Kisha from Virginia


Wait, some of these don't sound that bad. Keep Ubering on, my friends.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
