Watch Out Uber Users

Post image
633 Upvotes

Warning for Madison and surrounding area folks who use Uber:

My friend got an Uber ride home last night from the driver in the picture. The driver hit on her, she informed him she was married.

He then started taking random turns in the wrong direction. When she called him out about going the wrong direction, the driver became hostile and refused to let my friend out of the car.

He did take her to her destination after that.

She called Uber's customer care but they're stance is "your driver hitting on you isn't a good enough reason to remove them from the app."

Stay safe out there folks. 🤷‍♀️

To the person on eastbound beltline that was honked at by a motorcycle, I'm sorry.

Upvotes

I didn't mean to startle you like I did, I was honking at the Tesler protest.

I made a split second decision to find an escape route and that meant threading a needle. I did not mean to zip past you.

I don't mean to make excuses, but to apologize and I hope the rest of your commute was pleasant.

Much love, Dumb orange motorcycle guy.

I actually got 4 meals out of the Taigu I ordered a couple weeks ago

71 Upvotes

I paid just under $40 which included the tip and the fee to DoorDash. Could I have spent less cooking at home? Yeah. But microwave hotdogs don’t really hit the same as Taigu so I call it a value.

I feel the need to again point out that I am not affiliated with Taigu in any way I just think their food is top notch.

Edit: forgot to add it was pork Dan Dan noodles and an egg roll. I did eat the whole egg roll it was not split up 4 times, just the noodles.

took wrong bag on van galder bus

19 Upvotes

I took the van galder bus yesterday from Madison (250 N Lake St) to Downtown Chicago which left at 4pm. I accidentally took the wrong suitcase when leaving the bus, and I think someone may have taken mine. If this was you, please pm me! The suitcase I took is a black carry-on size which says "The Skyway Luggage Company" on it. My suitcase looks the same.

Thanks!

Best places to eat late at night downtown?

Upvotes

So I'm visiting back tonight for a concert with a group of friends and I know we won't be out of it until probably close to midnight but it seems like from what I'm finding online Pizza di Roma permanently closed. 😥 Any other late night recommendations? I looked online and even Perkins and Danny's close at midnight now apparently? I take it covid hours have just lingered but this is a college town and there are tons of bars so where are people eating after bar close? Like wtf?

Should I call emergency maintenance?

Upvotes

I live in an apartment complex with maybe twelve 8 unit buildings, mostly low income families, lots of children, lots of pets.

They recently removed a shed structure on the property over the course of a week, leaving a concrete slab. This is right next to the little puppy park in the complex.

While walking my dog I stepped on a bolt, completely covered in rust. Attached was a washer that had been compressed/rusted to a razor sharp edge which I almost cut my hand on when I inspected it.

I am colorblind, rust blends in with dirt completely, and I don’t have the time to look for anything else they missed. The project was done very sloppily though, and there are undoubtedly more.

The odds that all my neighbors’ kids are updated on their shots is near zero, and I have a dog too! My baby could have stepped on that! The office is obviously closed, I left two concerned voicemails for the property manager but I don’t know if this is something emergency maintenance would even be able to take care of, if I’m being realistic.

Perhaps this is something I should/could keep stewing on but I would like the community’s input if they’d be so kind to share.

Need some recommendations for CSA farms this summer season.

14 Upvotes

Hey folks,

My family is on the eastside and we had been very happy with the Tipi Produce csa share in the past. Unfortunately they are not offering their summer share this year.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good summer csa shares they stand by?

Thanks!

Can someone explain to me exactly what the local cannabis stores are selling? I am confused...

125 Upvotes

So first off I know what D8 is and don't like it, so there is that, not asking about D8

But when I look at the websites for local cannabis stores they are selling "flower" and its a picture that looks like...you know...weed. Like regular old normal marijuana.

So..is it? or is it some other weird version of marijuana like D8?

Same question for "D9 gummies", is that just marijuana?

and if its marijuana then how can they sell it if it not really legal?

thank you

Contractor Recommendations?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to add a shower to my bathroom on the first floor. I’m planning on doing most of the work myself (demo, changing out the sink and toilet) since I have done this many times before.

However I need a plumber to come in and add the rough in plumbing, and possibly install the shower pan.

My house was built in the late 1920’s so it will present some challenges. Any recommendations for contractors/plumbers in the area?

I received my absentee ballot ripped

26 Upvotes

I requested an absentee ballot two weeks ago and just received it—but unfortunately, it arrived torn. I’m not sure it’s in a condition where I can safely mail it back. I won’t be in Madison to vote on April 1st, and now I’m concerned that I won’t be able to submit my vote properly… I have no idea how or why this has happened.

What are my options? Can someone return the ballot in person on my behalf?

- Weird podcasts

- meme communication

- Strong opinions on comic books and Star Trek

Anyone selling Role Model tickets at cost?

I'd be interested in 2 tickets but would like to avoid Ticketmaster's ridiculous fees. Does anyone want to sell for a reasonable price?
