After a couple of pints, I placed excessive confidence in the Uber driver’s ability to bring me home. He may have confused me with a (caretaker) cabinet minister on a junket. Luckily, Uber HQ have now rectified the near-marathon journey.
It’s a guy with a SatNav, what do you expect? Do you not know the way home yourself?
Jaaysus…. how long did that take? Id ask for the money back AND argue they own you a free fair for inconvenience. After a few pints you must have been close to soiling the taxi.
Cool story, bro : /
One to tell the grandkids andrew
Should have got a black cab and saved us all the excitement
Had the same in Dublin with a cab driver. He locked the doors when I questioned why we were going the complete opposite direction to my destination. Drove to Pearse St Garda station and locked me in the car. Guards came out, I showed them the GPS on my phone and they let me go. Turns out he had no tax or taxi license. Silly man.
I had a tour de dublin 4&6 when going from the rds to rathmines rd. Journey there cost €10. On the return we were on €16 but quite far from home. I questioned him, he got angry. Told him he was only getting a tenner so he pulled into to rathmines Garda station. Rang the bell a few times at reception but the guards were out for tea. Threw yer man a tenner and told him he was lucky. Bleedin cowboyz
Few pints of what ? Chloroform ? You could grow a beard in the time that journey took. Was the tube not running ?
