10. One passenger wasn’t so big on Bambi:
I had a passenger roll down the window and scream “SUCK MY FUCKING DICK” at a deer. She said she really didn’t like deer.
11. This driver has had to play therapist to some pretty heartbreaking personal stories:
Oftentimes you have to play therapist for drunk customers, they will lay out very personal details about their lives to you. One customer told me about how her ex-husband has been hospitalized several times due to complications from alcoholism, and that they told him that the next time he comes in, he’ll likely die. She told me that she really hopes that the father will die before her 17-year-old son turns 18 because she doesn’t want him to have the responsibility of having to decide to pull the plug.
12. One eavesdropping driver accidentally overheard some pretty grisly details:
A few months ago this lady came into my car whilst busily talking on her phone: “Yeah you can’t tell anyone on the team yet. No no, I haven’t told anyone at all.”
I was secretly eavesdropping, as I usually do, trying to figure out what kind of job she had.
“The details are kinda gruesome. The poor thing was lying there for a while after it happened because there was no one around. These bastards took everything from her and tried to steal her car but they apparently ran over her and they just booked it. Her body was practically split in two under one of the wheels. It was only a couple hours later someone saw it and called us. She was still alive when we got there. Hey, listen I gotta go. We’ll talk more soon.”
We had reached her destination: church. She got out of the car with a quick thank you.
