I was driving my usual Saturday night bar circuit. It was surge time but still nothing on the heat map. Got a pickup shortly before closing time, turned out destination was 35. miles out into the barren burbs. 41 minute estimate, so no long pickup warning. There goes my night.
2 minutes from destination, the guy realizes he left his keys at the pickup spot. So this deadmile return trip turned into a paid round trip. The guy remained pretty good natured, was a friendly ride both ways, and even gave a $13 tip. Total $90 for an 80 minute 70 mile ride. The unfortunate pax paid $136 for a useless round trip.
You just never know in this game.
