I absolute despise catching Ubers, but sometimes it's my only choice for a work thing.

Why the fuck do they drive with that whole "go fast, sudden stop, go fast, sudden stop".

Literally makes me car sick.

I remember catching an Uber early morning in Paris. 130km/h speed limit to the airport, which additionally was treated as a mere suggestion. I was temporarily religious.

Buses do that too, gives me the irrits. Dude, you're braced against the steering wheel and pedals, we aren't.
