That's right. A puke and a unicorn not only on the same night, but on the same ride!

2000+ rides under my belt Uber and Lyft combined in about 18 months.
Probably 75% of those late night rides. And I had zero pukes. That's right zero!

I was pretty proud of that, but at the same time, I secretly wanted one.
Just like a quarterback wants his first interception and a prison guard wants his first prison riot, i wanted a puke.

And boy, did it ever leave me wanting another!

It's about 1:30 am and I'm patiently waiting for the surge.
I get a 1.9x on Uber and start heading that way.
But it doesn't feel right.
So I turn on Lyft and just before I arrive I get a 200% primetime. Score!!!!
That's 3x Uber surge for you noobs.
So I drive right past my Uber pax and pickup my Lyft pax about 2 blocks away.

Not only was this ride 25 miles, but it was 25 miles in the direction of my house!!!!
So at this point I knew this would be my last ride.
$100 ride to end my night.
I was pretty happy that entire ride.
Both pax, young couple, sleeping entire ride.

When we arrive, there's a gate. I pull up close enough so she can reach the keypad.
I wake her up and roll down her window.

Then all hell broke loose!

Here's the beauty of what happened.
98.3% of puke went out the window.
This was my last ride so zero down time!

I had no problem shining a light in her face to take that picture ^
She was so out of it I don't think she knew what happened.
And her man would have slept through a hurricane.

Anyway, what I made on this ride alone would have been a good night.
But I actually made more on Uber. So it was a GREAT night.

Everything about this ride was perfect.

Went straight to car wash and washed it for $2.50.
Used my Kirkland disinfectant wipes that I already carry in the car to wipe inside.

I'm happy. Wife is happy.

Bring on the pukes!!!

Oh man hopefully you got all that in the window and it does not stink up inside the window enclosure
Don't think it got in deep.
When I rolled up the window there was just some on the top.
None has slid down.

Did your Uber pax ever cancel, or are they still standing there staring at their phone, waiting for you?
Haha the moment I made contact with my Lyft pax, I cancelled.
Don't think my Uber pax realized I drove by. Didn't get any calls.

Based on the surge, pretty sure their next request was even higher.

You're welcome, fellow drivers.

My biggest one ride payout I think is about $120.

So the ride alone came close. But add the damage fee and it's a record for me.
That for sure Unicorn.....I did good on the Uber safety driver that puked on the outside of
my car a couple months before the Arizona murder... Still no where near the take you got....that's a pot of gold!!!!

Just had my first puke experience tonight. Happened as I was pulling into drunk piece of shits driveway.. I’m so pissed right now I called Uber Support and was told I have to wait for a specialist to look at the photos and I should keep my receipts for the cleaning...

That sucks. But congrats on the initiation!

Anyhow, don't fret it. Just file the claim through the app and submit multiple photos. You'll get your $150 for that one, don't worry. And just remember, that fee goes straight to the puker's pocket book. He'll think twice before over indulging and calling an Uber next time around.
