I was working on my other business marketing so not to waste my time while sitting. That is a new all time record for me. Took my one ride and finished the night hauling drunks. It then reminded me of why I don’t do bar rides. There is no way out of all those passengers only a few did cal on Uber.
So if those guys in the main lot want to shut guys like me out, they proved it.
Now that we can make noise in Condos for construction, looks like that’s all I will do and come back for Uber side gig in November along with a few cash rides...

I did a ride from Hertz Arena on Thursday, it was a 4.95 rider so I thought “ok most likely a good rider”.

WRONG.

They were all drunk. I hate riding drunks. They were not bad but had me nervous, telling ne that they would drive my car, to go to Miami and other stuff that had me almost rushing to their destination

Sorry to hear about that. I usually don’t have any problems working with passengers. I took five days off and had to drive to the hub in Fort Lauderdale today so that I can update my registration. It was interesting meeting other drivers from all around. Next time bring them back to the airport and cancel the ride Lol

Don't take them so serious. Key is to play along until they run up against real barriers, then be firm. They're like children.

I do not like driving drunks it either, but Saturday Night I picked up 2 guys at 1130 from Whiskey Park they were disgusting with their language and a huge Pain in the ass... and there were 5 stops involved ... Taco bell , the first guys home, the gas station and then the 2nd guys home and then back to the first guys home to give him his phone he left in my car. Every time they promised me a huge tip so i said you will have to give me cash now before I stop my care ( I made 80) plus the 2 Uber trips. The phone return was on the way to my house so though i was frustrated at this point at least I got paid. These 2 guys spent $110 to go 12 miles and I deserved it.I am positive a DUI is way more.

you're definitely right, a first-time DUI is ~100 times more $ (for starters)
