Uber conversations are sometimes like a breath of fresh air, surprisingly enlightening and sometimes, even a life saver! Ben was having a hard day, he had to leave his car at the service center after it broke down. He requested for a ride on Uber and waited helplessly at the auto service. He notice a white Lexus car approaching and realized it’s the Uber driver Jack. He gets in..
Jack: Hey there Ben? How’re you doing?
Ben: Hey, how’s it going?
Jack: Heading Downtown?
Ben: Yup
Jack: How was your day?
Ben: Mmm…, wasn’t great. My car broke down, had to leave it at the auto service.
Jack: Oh no! Was it that bad?
Ben: Well yeah, should be done by tomorrow. Until then Uber it is!
Jack: Haha, Cool! So what do you do?
Ben: I’m into Digital Marketing and I work for…., sorry I used to work. Recently I lost my job as they had to cut down resources.
Jack: I’m so sorry, that’s too bad. Was it all off a sudden?
Ben: Well, technically yeah. They gave us a heads up before two days that we could expect lay offs. But that wasn’t of much help.
Jack: Hmmm, so currently looking for a job?
Ben: Yeah, job hunting. Gave a few interviews but still waiting to hear back. Can you please take left here?
Jack: Oh sure, the GPS on the app wasn’t taking me left, sorry about that!
Ben: Haha, that’s alright! You can stop here.
Jack: Alrighty. Hey Ben.., I have a…small Digital Marketing firm, may be you can find something that interests you.
Ben: Oh that’s great!!
Jack: Here’s my card, give me a call and later we can set up an interview for you if interested.
Ben: Oh, thanks a lot Jack! Will surely give you call, thank you very much for the offer!
Jack: No problem man! Have a good night!
Ben: Sure I will! Good night and see you soon!

Maybe your next post could be titled, “Mutual Guilt : How To Write More To Feel Less Bad.” 😝😝
The important thing is that despite your schedule and April morphing into May, you didn’t give up. You are a survivor, again. That is wonderful.😀
I look forward to your being regular here. 😊

This one caught my attention because I’ve driven for Uber and also found conversations with riders to be very interesting. I even thought about using it for the letter U. Some of those last letters have very few words to work with… I was glad your story ended the way it did.

Thank you so much! I use Uber everyday to get to work and I really have some very good conversations. That prompted me to write this. Very glad you could relate to this as well! 😊
