Weed? Like Dandelions?
April 23, 2020
The two laughing men appeared out of the dark, sliding diagonally across the ice slickened intersection. One of them slid into the front of my vehicle and scrabbled to keep his balance. Once they entered the vehicle the conversation went like this:
Hey, Bro! Can we smoke some weed in your car?
Sorry, you can’t smoke ANYTHING in my car!
Be cool, bro … you ever get pulled over while driving for LYFT?
Pulled over, by the police?
Yeah! … by the cops!
No, I usually wave at them as they go by and they wave back. They recognize the LYFT light in my windshield.
You BOSS then!
At that point the two gentlemen engaged in a five minute conversation, every word of which I heard … but only about one out of ten I actually understood.
It was just another experience in the life of a LYFT driver.
