NEVER take candy, gum or water from Uber drivers. This is exactly why.

Can’t even take a Uber to your destination with someone trynna do some slick shit

Damn..please reblogg

I see people in the notes dismissing this as an urban legend, and I want you all to PLEASE BE AWARE that this is a real thing that can happen. Two days ago a serial predator dubbed the “Ride Share Rapist” was caught in California. 

This one worked for Lyft, and he captured his victims by cruising around bars, pulling up next to women who were clearly waiting on a ride, and pretending to be their driver. He abducted and raped at least four women this way during the last five years. Police think it’s likely there are many other victims they don’t know about.

It’s fucking crazy that we normalized getting into a stranger’s unmarked car and telling him where we live or work, but please remember that’s what you’re doing every time you take an Uber. 

Be safe out there, and stay alert.

reasons that i was going 9 mph over the speed limit today: the lumberjack in the big red chevy truck behind me on this double-lined road was in a hurry and also was using a slightly more powerful bluetooth radio to play his music, but he was using the same frequency that i use, and he was just playing Party In The Usa on repeat, so every time he caught up to me my music started fading out and “i pUT MY HANDS UP THEY’RE PLAYIN MY SONG” started blaring from my speakers and i was justly running for my fucking life
