Uber Patience
I’m reminded why I hate stepping out in public today. I hate the public. The public is stupid. Actually, things were going pretty well right up until the end. I went to the dentist, everything was fine. Teeth were simple to clean, no cavities. I should have known. Things were going too smoothly for someone with my luck. I order an Uber and I get a ride that’s 12 minutes away. Perfect. Just enough time to get some reading in. I pick up my book and go through a few pages then check back at my driver’s progress. 11 minutes away. I’m not the fastest reader, quite the opposite, I sometimes need to re-read passages because my mind gets distracted by just about everything, including an air conditioning turning on. I’m not sure why it was taking him so long to make the journey; it was a straight shot on the highway for 11 minutes with a 1 minute drive to where I was at after getting off it. But, no. I saw my uber driver move forward a few paces. Stop. Move forward. Stop. Head back. Stop....
