Come on, Uber!

I would like this too, but we don't have Uber in my city (I have to check for sure, but I'm pretty certain).
I have never in my life been in a taxi, Uber, Lyft, or the like. I drive or take public transportation (which I have done in many cities). I'm not sure if mystery shopping would change my thoughts or not.
I take Uber often when visiting Chicago, never had a problem, but certainly hear others do...when it works it's great.
Live consciously....
I drive for Uber and Lyft in addition to mystery shopping. I'd much rather be mystery shopped than deal with the bullshit arbitrary 5 star rating.

I'm always surprised when I hear someone say they have never done something that most folks consider commonplace such as never taking a taxi. Taxis, I thought, were ubiquitous and not limited to city residents. So it surprises me to hear that someone has never taken a taxi. I've never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my life. I know folks who have never pumped their own gas, used an ATM, used a drive through window for anything (fast food, banking, etc.), never had a bank loan, never ridden a bike.
Some "nevers" are location-dependent. If you don't live in a city, it makes sense that you haven't taken a subway or possibly a bus.
Is there something that you have never done that surprises people when you tell them?
I've never seen The Godfather or Animal House.

I've never ridden a bicycle, played with a hula hoop, seen most movies or popular tv shows, never sent a text message or ridden a public bus. Also never ridden in a taxi, smoked a cigarette or had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I've never been able to stay up on water skis - absolute fail. Weak ankles
@LisaSTL The Sound of Music? The Sound of Music? You are the first person I've ever heard say that.
@cettie, all that needs to go in your book! Maybe skipping the mundane stuff left you with more time for those unique adventures.
@hoju, I've never seen Star Wars and even with all the cultural references to it I don't have a clue as to what it's about.
@cjbstar, I've been able to either--weak arms
I could never hold on.

But if one is looking for someone who has out-run a horny goat, found a dead body in the bushes, can psychoanalyze you while driving a dumptruck and bulldozer or give you a mediumistic reading, AND cuss out a miscreant in 10 languages while doing martial arts, then that's me.

I've never ridden in an Uber (but I have taken a taxi, a bus, a subway, a commuter train, a cable car and a tuk-tuk)
I've never (let me think), swam with the Dolphins, been on a jet ski, in a sailboat, race car, driven drunk...o.k. I've done all the things Cettie didn't do.....that's enough.
A word about Uber....while in Chicago visiting my daughter, who has an account with them ,we were on the street, not wanting to take the train back, she calls Uber, their there in 5 minutes, got home in 10 minutes for 5 bucks. Prices go up depending on the time, especially late at night. My friend had to get home and paid 65.00,
so beware.

Bubba, what I said was true, 5 bucks at 3::00 PM to go a few miles in Chicago and 65.00 in L.A. to get home from a play at 1:00 AM in the morning, Downtown L.A. to the Valley. Do you know L.A. and the distance, just asking.
You are still my comic relief.

A nun taught me to climb every mountain, forge every stream, follow every rainbow, til I found my dream.

I got the same advice! Turns out I didn't have to do ANY of that crap to find my dream. What a huge waste of time that was.

My mother never flew in an airplane. And where I used to work, I once saw two middle-age men who had obviously never ridden in an elevator before.
I've never used Uber or Lyft, and I'm kind of stumped as to why so many people I know seem to use it, when almost everyone here has a car by necessity, and we have a decent (not great) public transportation system that is a lot cheaper.
