    I think they mean that’s for the client. I’d rather my driver not be drunk and high, cool as it may be.

        Lmao, really? Had my fair share of weirdos, but never drunk or high. At least not that I could tell.

          I have a friend that drives Uber. Literally high every time he works. He’s one of those stoners that claims he’s actually a better driver when high. You absolutely don’t know if the person driving you is under the influence. He vapes or does edibles, so there’s no odor, and he’s always wearing sunglasses.

            I know I’m way less aggressive when im baked. My wife gets stressed out driving with me unless I’ve had a few hoots.

          I was in an uber with a friend in some Baltimore traffic when the driver almost rear-ended the car in front of us. She was distracted talking to us, I think, was telling us about her life or something.

          Immediately after she slammed on the brakes, she admitted to us she was high as a kite, and then went into explaining how she hides it from her rides (uses the ozium stuff to make the smell disappear, leaving a window of time between pickups to ensure the car aired out, etc). Vaping wasn’t as commonplace back then, as I think Colorado and only one other state had legalised it at that point.

          But, like, damn lady… Why are you telling your two passengers this right after you almost got into a nasty wreck? We just wanted to get to the bar 😂
