On the flip side: I have my sad tragic backstory down to a science. I can blow through it in like 3 sentences because I get asked so often about how much I make, how long I’ve been ubering, my marital status and my 4 different majors in college (I live near a college town, so this comes up often once they discover I’m an alum).
I’ve been wondering about that. My last guy sold me some cinderella story about how he worked for no pay to renovate an old drug den into a house, but one day he found money under the floorboards, and used it to buy a hotel in his home country, delivering the final moral; life is worth living, chance may smile upon you.
Really decent, super friendly guy, but I didn’t believe his story at all because he was excellent with the pacing, vocal inflection, side themes to tie it all together, and the satisfying conclusion coincided exactly at the point I needed to leave the car. It was a fantastic story, and I hope it’s true, but damn did he have that story down to a science. He could write for Disney.

I drive for uber and I always just wait until someone talks to me first.
Otherwise I have my playlist on and we can just vibe.

I usually just say Hi, and that’s enough to get a convo going, and before I know it I’m deep into into their background.
My knowledge of Sri Lankan politics is higher than it should be
