Today was the most insane chaotice Uber anarchy so far. UT is like a black hole, if you get within 2 miles it will attempt to suck you in.

I pull up to drop off pax. A group of ladies is standing there, and ask me if I can give them a ride. I tell them that one of them has an Uber app that I can. One lady walks up with her phone, her previous ride rating screen is still up.

She sends two stars, and proceeds to say

"Oops, i didnt mean to do that! Joey was a great driver! Oh well" All the ladies laughed, and then pinged me for their ride.

Lmao! I had this rather crazy chic singing along to all my music today. Completely in the wrong key and at the top of her lungs.

Is Rainey only 2 miles from DKR?
I was getting stadium pings all the way over there last night.

Its exactly 2 miles. Not by road but from point to point.

I was able to get a couple of decent fares from the stadium. Thanks to the score being lopsided at the end of the 3rd.

I don't know why all the complaining. Saturday was the best I've had since sxsw. Cleared $340 in 12 hours on Uber x

Oh yeah!! Well I cleared $425 in 11 hours!!! I mean as long as we are throwing crazy number around! Oh, and I also 75% of my passengers tipped.

Since we are talking about ratings. When pax doesn't rate at all our ratings go down. I had two trips on Friday in that slow a$! Market they call San Antonio and no ratings at all dropped my overall rating. That's upsetting. Both my pax where cool with no issues and even jammed out with one per his request. Come on Uber.

I took two lyfts on Saturday to and from the game. Best experiences ever!! I used their sweet promos and got cheap rides while uber was charging 2.5x. ****ing unbelievable that Lyft doesn't do better in the market.

The tip screen at the end said $1, 2, 5, other. ****ing awesome!!! Such a ridiculous scam/tragedy what Uber is doing with the tips.

The way the surges were happening I can believe it. Spent most of my time on Lyft working towards the $750 bonus. For the weekend 40 Lyft rides and 3 Uber rides. 2 of the 3 rides were surge rides. After Ubers cut I got $38.45 + $8 tip. Spent about 1hr 15 min on Uber app. Last ride I seen the surge numbers ending so switch right back over to Lyft. Seen a 200% Lyft area but was to far away and most of pings were 25% to 50% areas. Still nice money overall.

Once UT football ends I figure we will go back down to the normal $150-$200 weekend numbers.
