Questions to ask your Uber Driver instead of “busy night?” Megan Rundle
So you’ve decided to be the alpha on tonight’s adventure out in the town. The weaklings have crawled into the backseat, maybe even the fake seats in the boot, to avoid the terrifying front with the Uber driver. But you – you’re obviously the natural born leader of the group, Destiny’s Child’s Beyonce, the Wiggles’ yellow Wiggle (Greg). The front doesn’t scare you! But there’s one thing you’ve never been able to master: that dreaded conversation starter that will determine whether you’re just the everyday classic front seat rider OR a master in the art of Uber conversation. Luckily for you, I’ve put together a few questions to take you to the next level. You’ll be less of an Uber amateur and more of an Uber conversational beast. How fast does this thing go? The Uber driver is obviously an expert in cars, and you wouldn’t want them to think they’re sitting next to some idiot. This question allows you to not only appear as an eager motorhead but also allows you to possibly experience a wild ride that will not only benefit you but everyone on board. The most epic answer to this question would be “check this out” and then they speed down Mitchell Freeway, getting you and your passengers to the front of The Court line as soon as possible. Don’t worry, if they ask how fast your car is, just joke: “never fast enough hey?” - or something to pretend like you know what you’re talking about. 68
