I didn't know this but my kid took my nice car and I took a Uber rideshare ping from home. All I had to drive was my rusty but trusty almost 600,000 mile Toyota.
I called the PAX right away and explained what happened so they could cancel and get another driver right away. The PAX began to beg for me to pick her up telling me that she have been trying to get a ride for 10 minutes. The pickup was a few blocks from my house so I agreed but I told her I would pick her up in my Toyota. The girl said that would be OK. I went to the pickup and picked up the girl and drove her to her college dorm. There is not a single car on the road. The route was all city roads no freeway. When we got to the dropoff we talked a few minutes about what is happening with the world. I guess we talked for about 20 minutes on lots of different things and then she noticed the pictures of my grandson. I told her about him and all the fun we have together. I showed her a bunch of pictures of him and we talked some more about her family and how she was apart from them and missed them. This girl really wanted to talk. Normally talking with someone you just met can be difficult but it was really a nice conversation. I think we could have talked for at least a few hours, but after about a hour I got a call from home and we parted ways. When she hopped out of my car she said thanks grandpa it was really nice talking with you and she tried to hand me a $20. I told her to keep it. Your a nicer person than most and you really need to save your money granddaughter. She smiled and thanked me again and then walked up to her building.
This is my last trip for the day and it's the most enjoyable person that I have met doing this kind of thing in a long time.
I wanted to share this because of how wonderful meeting this person was.
Do any of you have any great experiences with people you meet doing this and it makes your day in a wonderful way?
