Man Gets Mistaken For An Uber Twice With His Family In The Car

We’ve all misidentified someone as our Uber driver.

Okay, maybe that’s a stretch because any cab app gives you your driver’s number plate number, so you never make that mistake, but apparently people still do. I also call my driver to find out where they are and double-check the license plate number before getting in. While I understand that someone might make this mistake while drunk, it shouldn’t cause any problems. After all, it’s just a silly mistake, so what’s the big deal?

It’s certainly inconvenient to be hailed in the middle of traffic and have people banging on your door while your child is sleeping in the back of the car. Anyone who has children understands the agony of dealing with a sleepy child who has been awakened in the middle of their slumber; they are usually irritable and will cry over anything. So the guy who had this strange experience decided to share it on Reddit to see if anyone else had a similar experience.

They were in London to meet their friends.

And apparently, his wife’s car is a model that a lot of cab drivers use.

The first time it happened, he was able to drive away without a single glace.

Then it happens again and these ladies decide to bang on the car.

You would think it would be over by now but then a drunk guy comes running over.

He has to make a stop because he is in the way now.

He clears up the misunderstanding and they continue their journey once again.

What this has taught him is to hire a rental when he goes to London.

It’s surprising to see that it happened to him twice on the same day. While we’ve all seen videos of people mistaking someone for their Uber, this is a little excessive. What kind of person bangs on someone’s car and demands to be let in? And don’t Ubers usually park on the sidewalk so you can get in easier? I’m sure it’s the same everywhere, and it wasn’t late at night when drunk people would be everywhere. It was only nine o’clock! At the very least, it makes for a good funny story to tell others.

That is what usually happens but maybe these girls thought the driver didn’t know any better.

Perhaps they were drunk too?

Exactly! Most people double-check before getting in a car.

These people apparently.

This also happens a lot by the looks of things.

This may sound mean but it is very true.

Have you ever had something similar happen to you? Have you ever been mistaken for a cab driver and sat in your car without your permission?
