ridesharing driver also living in car

Three minutes into their trip to the grand reopening of an old neighborhood bar, friends Sandy J. and Thalia F. realized that the vehicle transporting them was also their driver’s home. “Oh my god I think he might be sleeping in here,” Thalia said, leaning over to whisper in her companion’s ear whilst pointing out to her a tube of toothpaste and toothbrush poking from a seat-back pocket of the 2007 Toyota Tercel. Sandy responded by wincing and scrunching up her nose at the suddenly weird but previously nonexistent smells her brain began to conjure into being. “There’s a lot of room in here, actually, for sleeping,” she said, glancing up at the vehicle’s generously high roof and giggling, which prompted her friend to giggle too, which then lead to both women giggling uproariously for a few minutes.

Sensing his customers’ mockery of him, their driver shuddered internally and choked back an upwelling of tears as he begged That Which Cannot Be Named to not let either of the women submit a bad report to his dispatching company and take away his ability to pick up and drop off people - the job being primary means of him supporting himself and his family back in Belarus and him living in it being his only option given skyrocketing area rents.

witty friend praises choice of car insurance commercial

For totally the very first time in the long history of mankind, local funnyman Dale Ivan Young jokingly said he liked the commercial chosen by a popular video-streaming website to play immediately before the trailer for a new blockbuster film. “Wow, this flick looks awesome - thanks for showing this to me,” Young said, chuckling over the familiar, repetitive quacking of a feathered corporate mascot while grinning and flashing his eyes at the person whose turn it was to select something to watch. “I can’t wait to see it, ha ha ha,” he continued, patting a love-handle as he furtively made brief eye contact with each of the six other people leaning over a small mobile device trying to get a glimpse of its display.

His meagre spunk apparently spent, Dale absolutely would not - by hook or by crook - offer up a solid, clear opinion about the upcoming film in question, instead sidling away from the group in order to perform a pretend inspection of his vaporizer under the light of a nearby overhead lamp.
