My MAGA encounter last night

I drive Uber to supplement my other job. I picked up a guy in a nice area in Houston's Spring Branch neighborhood. He was going about 8 miles to the Greenway Plaza area to a bar called Kirby Icehouse.

I generally have my radio on Houston Public Radio which is an NPR station. There was a segment on where they were talking about malnutrition in Gaza, I think. He asked me what I was listening to and I said Houston Public Radio and he said "Well, it sounds like some Muslim propaganda". I was taken aback that he would say that and I said. "I don't need your opinion about what I'm listening to, do you want me to change it". He said yes and I changed it to a rock station.

We got to our exit and then we turned on Westheimer and got stopped at the train and it was a really long train, and then another train in the opposite direction. It seemed like forever. I had right away changed the subject but it was awkward and after the train left I just couldn't keep from saying. "Can I give you a suggestion?" He said yes and I said "Next time you ride Uber, you don't have to give me your racist opinion of what I'm listening to. Just ask to change the channel."

He said "Well, I don't want to listen to your opinions either"

I said "Fine, then just say 'Could we please turn the radio to something else?' "

Then he said "Well, I'm paying you."

That's where I said "Not anymore. I want you out of my car."

I pulled over real quick and he said "I don't want to ride with you either. I'm reporting you. MAGA" and slammed the door.

I called Uber right away and reported the incident. I made sure that I told them that the guy said "Muslim propaganda" The guy I talked to had an foreign accent so he very well could have been a Muslim. He said that he didn't think I did anything wrong since I've been driving for Uber and have a good rating and over 2000 rides. It shook me up a little so I used the next half-hour or so to go get more gas and eat a cookie.

Left him on the side of the road, plus left money on the table. 

Competing bouncy, as always:

I dropped into a Subway sandwich place last night, and there were 2 middle aged, heavily tattooed skin heads that came in later. Tight black T-shirt’s and black short pants. Each had a long pistol holstered around the waist. Their truck parked outside was black with huge American flags in the bed. The truck was festooned with trump and Martha McSally posters.

Paging Dr. Freud... Looks like this DUmmy's subconscious listens to a lot of Frankie Goes to Hollywood!

And after receiving the dude's $$ DU-member cannabis_flower promptly slandered the passenger. I wonder how appreciative Uber would be of cannabis_flower's DU forum name.

I sent it to them.  They make it a pain, but you can do it.

I sent it to them.

Even without the dude(tte)'s real name, the pick-up and destination points would allow figuring out who the driver was. And I doubt having a -impaired driver would thrill Uber's legal department.

Posted at CU something similar here.  Noticed that the Uber or Lyft bouncy is becoming more common than the traditional waiting room, grocery store or gas station bouncy.

 Bouncies involving Uber or Lyft are trendy.

Aren't both those companies anti-union? What are the DUmmies doing supporting companies that hurt their union brothers?
