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.

Yeah I’d be suspicious of that too.
I mostly just give a brief rundown of where I’m from, my majors in college, that I met my wife in college, and a blurb about my pets and kids. Oh and usually something vague about my job as well.

You gotta start throwing in some cinderella themes. You didn’t just meet your wife in college; she was your childhood soulmate who moved away when you were young . After searching the world for her for several years, you decided to settle down and become an Uber driver, and your very first customer happened to be her. Those kids? All conceived in the very same car you’re driving now. Not sure where the pets come into it, but if you give me an hour or so, I can spin something
