#uberseattle

Traffic sucked and that’s annoying. 

- Picked up a girl that thought ridesharing would be faster then the bus, she came to realize that the commute from Georgetown to Pikes Place Market takes a lot longer at 430 at night rather then at 530 in the morning. 

- Stayed sitting in traffic for 30 some minutes in downtown Seattle before deciding that it wasn’t worth it. 

- Had 3 riders cancel. Probably because the app tells them I’m 2-3min away and with traffic it’s more like 10 and I’m just sitting there stuck. 

- Picked up a girl for a 1mile ride that took 15min...yes walking would’ve been faster but she was cool about it. Decided to stay out of downtown after that. 

- Picked up a student from Hong Kong who thinks Seattle is a very sparse city. 

- Picked up 3 girls that kept whispering with each other and then one girl was having the others put their fingers onto her phone so they could access it...who does that?!?

- Picked up a guy that is thinking about investing in Bellevue. He’s from San Francisco and has been to Seattle a lot but it was pretty obvious that he’s not real clear on his strategy. 

- Picked up a lady from her work party...who then tried to get my advice on whether she should go to another bar to hit on a co-worker or whether that was gonna make her look like a stalker. I told her that since he had given her the time and place of where he was hanging out that wasn’t stalking. It was a funny conversation. My guess is she did end up going back out later because she really wanted too. 

- Picked up a teacher and over the ride found out he was a legit real estate investor from since 2000. The difference between him and the guy earlier was pretty funny. I realized he was really legit when he mentioned a property that his group had just sold that they had purchased in 2009...right after the RE crash in this area. 

- Had a super awkward high-five with a dude that had me drive him from the game up to a bar near his house. He said I was a bad-ass driver because I knocked his 15min drive down to 12 even with the map throwing a weird route.

- Great conversation with a guy that looked like he was 16 but was actually a computer programmer and doing pretty well for himself. 

- Picked up 3 dudes and took them a half mile to a McDonalds...which was closed but they still got out anyway and though I stayed in the area a bit I didn’t get called back.
