Cab rides can either create an awkward or a comfortable situation for the driver and the rider. Being stuck with another person for minutes or hours at length isn¡¯t something most of us look forward to, but sometimes opening up to a stranger becomes the easiest thing to do.?
Imagur
A former Uber driver recently had an emotional ride with ¡°an absolutely hammered girl¡± he¡¯d picked up from the bar. He was getting ready with his cleaning equipment to wipe down the mess he was sure the girl was going to create with her vomit, but instead she told him her harrowing story.
She stepped into his car, apologised for being so drunk and asked him if they could drive around a little while with the windows down. Then she asked him if he¡¯d ever thought of dying.
¡°Yeah, I guess so,¡± he replied.
The girl told him that she was suffering from cancer, which was in her brain and it was too late for her to consider chemotherapy. The driver¡¯s heart was pounding. At the bar that night, she was celebrating with her colleagues, who had thrown her a going-away party. Since she didn¡¯t have the heart to tell them about her illness, she told them that she was being relocated abroad.
¡°I just didn¡¯t tell them that abroad was heaven,¡± she told him.
¡°Jesus. Fucking. Christ. I turned off my app and cried my ass all the way home,¡± wrote the driver online.
