Do You Have an Uber Story That Tops This? [VIDEO]

Over the weekend, I took an Uber to meet my friends at a bar and I had the weirdest driver.

So I get my text that the Uber had arrived and as I walk out of my apartment I hear, "Michelle?!" In a very loud exciting voice. Ok, this guy is gonna be my new BFF I thought.

"That's me."

"Welcome to your Uber!" I got in the car and the driver continued to be hilariously awesome. "We are going to Lombard!" He shouted as if Lombard was code word for Disneyland.

At this point I realized my driver looked very familiar... kind of like the dad/man from Garfield. Yep, that's pretty much what my driver looked like.

"I'll start the counter as soon as I get out of your parking lot, it's a little strange, I don't think when they make these lots they think about drivers."

I didn't really respond because I had a free code, so really he could've started the counter whenever, but I smiled and said, yeah, it's a pain.

Then, it was time. "Michelle, I'm starting your clock now."

Ok...

At this point, I realized that we were listening to some very loud instrumental music. He must've read my mind because that's when he decided to tell me that, "if you don't like this music, please let me know because I have a plenty of CDs we can listen to."

This guy was prepared.

The ride wasn't too long and once we were close, my driver asked what was going on at the bar I was going to, "oh a friend's birthday," I said, to which he replied, "oh birthdays! Birthdays are the best!"

As we pulled up to the bar, my driver commented about the rain saying, "if you'd like, when we get there I can walk you to the door with my 'umbrelllllla'." See the above video for the umbrella discussion with movements.

While that was very nice, it was completely unnecessary, and hilarious.

It was also the funniest thing I've ever experienced in an Uber. What's your best Uber story?
