I did a lot
of driving this week. In fact, on one
day I earned $191.00 so I am feeling pretty impressed with myself. That being said I had several interesting
experiences that were first time occurrences in my short driving career.
OOPS! I have been driving long enough that I often go to the same facilities to take someone to or pick someone up from. The last ride of my day brought some delight when I found out that the person I would be picking up lived about 40 miles away (which meant I was going to make some good money!) I always call before I get to the place to let the people know when I will arrive and the color and make of my car. When I arrived on sight. no one was outside. but after a few minutes people started coming out. I unlocked my door and rolled down my window so I could make sure I picked up the right person. Out comes a man who walked directly to my car, opens the back door and climbs in. I said, are you ? (His name) and he replied yes with a smile on his face. I told him welcome and then gave him the address of his destination and asked if that was also right. Again he smiled and said yes. So off I go. We had driven about 10 minutes when my phone rang. When I answered it, a member of the facility staff asked if I was driving anyone. I said yes, repeated his name, and then she asked if he had on a red shirt. He did. She then said that is not ….. So at the next exit off the freeway I headed back to the facility with this two-word passenger. When I got back, he opened the door, I said goodbye and he walked back into the building. Sadly, another ride had been ordered for my correct passenger and I made no money off of that trip. From now on the door stays locked until the passenger tells me their name.
