>>29045127Do it for the lulz. You only get drug tested if you get pulled over of crash.You’ll probably make more from your tax return when you write off gas, maintenance, and vehicle depreciation, than you will from an actual uber paycheck, but it’s a good way to get a little extra beer money, along with the occasional tip in the form of cash, goods, or services. Got some free steam game codes from developers I drove around during comicon.

Pick up two out of towners. They want to go to the bar down the street. It was literally half a mile drive. Milwaukee avenue was at a standstill. $10 well spent.

We were not supposed to get payed but would frequently get small tips here and there, once got a $50 bill and pizza voucher from a guy who owned a local pizza parlor, he was chill. Wouldn't do it again though, drunks smell and mess up your car.
Not me, but I like to hear stories of Uber drivers whenever I take one.He was driving a couple, and they were having a huge argument, something about a woman talking to the man at a party. They were arguing louder and louder, and eventually the woman asked the driver to stop the car. The man immediately said not to stop the car, and they bickered back and forth like this, while the driver just kept driving.Eventually the woman simply opened the door and jumped out of the moving car, rolling up on the asphalt. The driver said she was lucky he wasn't driving that fast. He immediately stopped, the man got out of the car and ended the fare, the woman was really fucked up.
