I was out driving one night when I got a request for a ride to that main airport at 3am. It was only midnight, so I decided to go home and take a nap until I needed to pick the passenger up.
I woke up, had a 5-hour energy, and headed off to get the
passenger. I was two minutes from the pick-up location when I was notified that
the ride had been canceled.
WTF. I stayed up for the next few hours hoping for all
the rides I missed by going back home and taking a nap… not bloody likely. The
3a - 5a was always pretty quiet. And tonight, especially so. It did not make up
for my missed time. The drunks were all home and passed out in their beds.
And so there I was, wired and unable to sleep, as well as
super annoyed and frustrated that someone would cancel at the last possible
minute. Why didn’t they cancel two hours earlier before I had the energy shot and
when I could have stayed on the road or gone to bed?!?
ARRRRRGH.
One of the pitfalls of ride-sharing that I got to learn
tonight.
