Oops of the week

A passenger holding their Infant Car Seat and baby …. NOT their Carry-On Spinner Suitcase!

It’s night and I’m responding to a passenger pick up request. En route I receive her text, “Would you please pull in as close as possible to my unit?” I arrive and text back “Yes, I’m here” and begin backing up close to her door as I see her come out with what appears to be a spinner suitcase. Immediately I assume, we’re headed to the airport. As she approaches the car … in the dark mind you … I roll down the window and ask “Would you like me to pop the trunk?”

Silence, and then she quietly responds, “No, it’s okay. I don’t think my new baby would like being in the trunk much.”

Oops! It was an infant car seat, NOT a spinner suitcase.

I'm a 61 year old Ride Share Driver, divorced father of 4, with 3 kids still in college. I'm a Combat Veteran, and on Disability after undergoing brain surgery soon after completing my 3d Ironman triathlon. The surgery changed the trajectory of my life. Serving as a 'coachman' and driving others helps me make ends meet, and keep my three kids in college, given allowable income limits set by Social Security. I enjoy serving others and as badly as I need the next buck, I encounter people every day that need it more than I do. Driving invariably brings me to places I can only dream about, so I'm grateful for the inspiration it brings.
