Angry Females

[mrpercentage]

Two angry females just tried to have sex with me.

So Im Uber driving and the first I pick up at 3am. She is drunk and I didn't notice but she got in the back with her beer. Complains about boyfriend. Says he stayed out till 6am the other day and wouldn't answer her calls. Then starts to get around to me-- 20 questions the works. I politely steer around it.

The second-- wow-- bombshell in screw me please heels and a black tight stretchy dress with fair skin and dark curly hair. Yes, she stumbles into my car.
"Do you work for lift too"
Me, "No"
"Thats too bad they have an option to tip"
Me, "Don't worry about it"
"I really want to tip you bad"
Me, "Its no big deal"
"But I give REALLY BIG tips"
Me, "Its alright"
"Hey are you sure you are going the right way"
Me, "Think so I typed in the GPS" [check GPS yes right way]
"You are going to give me the long ride. I just know it. You are going to fuck me so hard."
Me, "I can go anyway you like, just let me know"
"As long as you head south we are good"
Me *crickets*
"Hey how old are you?"
Me, "36"
"Does it get better when you are older"
Me, "Yes"
"You wouldn't Josh me would you"
Me, "No I wouldn't do that."
"How does it get better."
Me, "You figure out what you really want, and get better at what you like."
"Oh yeah, I know what I WANT. [giggles] No I don't."

Holy shit guys do not make your females mad. Thank God I have a little more control these days. No fuck-me-so-hard female in a tight dress is worth blowing up my marriage and leaving my kids with a broken home.

I know you probably think Im gay. Im not. I assure you I thought about it more than I should have.

Has anyone but me noticed the recent trend toward calling women "females"? I suppose it's not technically incorrect, but it sounds kind of dehumanizing, like you're talking about an animal.
Anyway, if being an Uber driver can lead to a more significant social interaction (like sex), why not?

[GuitarStv]

What about that interaction led you to believe that the women were mad?

[astvilla]

What about that interaction led you to believe that the women were mad?

I'm guessing cause the women wanted to cheat with some random Uber driver because the boyfriend wasn't answering his phone and didn't come back to 6 am.  I guess that's enough justification for the woman to go out and want to cheat w/a random stranger.  Everyone is sleeping with each other a lot more in today's culture, ain't the same like back in the old days, relationships are more fluid, less boundaries.  I'm also guessing OP doesn't fancy himself because if women are willing to sleep with him, then they really must be MAD!

OP is worried about marriage and wrecking family but is picking up passengers with Uber at 3am.  Exactly what kind of passenger demographic do you pick up at 3 am usually and how that isn't ruining marriage or raising suspicion or putting OP into possibly entangling situation though is beyond me.

Hold on, astvilla! Just because someone is out drinking at 3am doesn't make them a bad person. I, for one, am a very stable, married and happy person. I also occasionally (twice a year, maybe) go out and get polluted enough to need a ride home late at night.

[mrpercentage]

Actually 3-7 is good for airport runs. I'm graveyard shift on my government job. Uber on my days off while family is sleeping. Bars close at 2. I intentionally avoid that drama. And I Uber to invest in Exxon. Lol. True story

[mrpercentage]

G'night.

it always makes me wonder ... female whats? lions? tigers? mice? marmots?

I agree referring to human beings as "females" sounds very odd to my ears. My pet theories are either that the current generation grew up talking about "guys" and "girls" and once we hit a certain age people of the non-male gender clearly couldn't be called girls anymore but "men" and "women" is what you'd call people of your parents generation, not your peers. Or alternatively that there's a pretty wide age range where some people of that age will be offended to be called girls (implies not-adult) and other people the same age will be offended to be called women (implies old).

But I have exactly zero data to back up either one.

Military sexual harassment training encourages this.  Girl/lady/woman/chick can all be misinterpreted.  Female is a fact.  Or at least it used to be before transgendered was a gender.

How can woman be misinterpreted?

[astvilla]

Idk, calling them females sounds like a way to be politically correct though.  To avoid insulting women who don't think men that identify as women are women? Or other way around?  It is technically fact, maybe trying to avoid any heat from people who might feel offended thinking woman/women all behave this way.  Female just makes it sound more scientific and takes the edge off? I can see how a different negative connotation than what might have been originally came out of the change.

Haven't you watched the news or this forum?  People can misinterpret a little tiny thing, ignore the rest, and jump down your throat holding you against the wall for a misinterpretation.  We gotta be politically correct these days to not offend people.

Except that there is nothing, IMO, politically incorrect about the word woman.  Would you object to the word man?  This makes no sense to me.  And that is why I asked, if the military is encouraging it, what is their logic train?

[Uturn]

I was stationed with this girl who carried a report chit in her pocket already filled out for sexual harassment.  All she had to do was put in the name and date.  It's because you have people like her that are so offended, that the powers that be must set definitions.  Male and female are the official non-offensive words. 

She whipped out her report chit on me once because I told her to shut the fuck up.  Since fuck is a sexually explicit word, sexual harassment.

*coughs*
Just a few corrections.
;P

For the record, I am an angry female.

In all seriousness though, she likely had been dealing with institutionalized sexism for the past X years. Blaming women for using resources to defend themselves from verbal attacks like yours is bull.

Exactly

And given the definition for harassment is the reasonable person theory, unless there is a logic that says women is a politically incorrect (which I have ask for repeatedly), I am going to go with the other poster. "Has anyone but me noticed the recent trend toward calling women "females"? I suppose it's not technically incorrect, but it sounds kind of dehumanizing, like you're talking about an animal."  Especially when I heard female and men as the most common usage.

[Kaspian]

Amen, to that!  Apparently you can also get your throat jumped down for using a biological term too now.  :(

The problem with just using "woman" for freakin' everything is that it totally ruins language.  Once you make every single synonym incorrect, there is no poetry, no literature, no good writing.  All stories read like Ikea instructions. 

Why does almost every 4th thread here disintegrate into the girl/woman debate.  I wish people would fuckin' stop it.

[Sid Hoffman]

The word woman is sexist because it contains man in it, and is denigrating to females because it says they are nothing without man.

I'm not kidding, I have actually been told this before.

[Orvell]

Oh please give me a break.
Not wanting to be called "a female," especially in the context of this thread, is not restricting your use of language. You are not a victim here. The entire English language is still at your disposal, you just lack creativity and would prefer to us language that describes women as akin to cattle.
You know what. No.
I'm done with this thread.
The reason "every 4th thread" "devolves" like this is because no one is apparently paying attention to "the females" because we're just "angry."

[okits]

And I Uber to invest in Exxon.

My favourite line in this thread.

[Jack]

Anyone who thinks "shut the fuck up" is sexual harassment can shut the fuck up.

If anything, it's the opposite: avoiding the use of the word "fuck" because the person being spoken to is of a particular gender is itself sexist. Addressing female coworkers the same way one would treat male coworkers, with equally coarse language, is egalitarian!

You could argue that coarse language is inappropriate in the workplace regardless of the genders of those participating in the conversation, but that's an offense different from sexual harassment.

Serious question: Is this a joke?  He's working hard, which is great, but isn't unexpected.  As for not cheating, that's actually just living up to the expectation of marriage.  I mean maybe a pat on the back for doing the right thing, but hero?  That's a super-exaggeration.

[Uturn]

Anyone who has ever been an enlisted man person being, knows the word "fuck" is probably the nicest thing you will hear all day.

Female has male in it.  So you had one crazy so this is suppose to change your word choice to something that the average person would see as dehumanizing, at least when males are men and females are female?  That sounds like a great idea.  Seriously do people not think these things through?  I had to take a harassment course at work (all staff had to) and all of it was obvious and this conversation explains so much why we were being "taught" this obvious stuff.

[Kaspian]

Hahaha... Yeah, I've always given my guy friends a weird look when they start bragging that they had the chance but chose not to cheat.  Usually answer with, "You're not supposed to dumbass--you don't get a hero biscuit.  You want to hear about all the stuff I didn't steal today?  It's a pretty long list."

[Cathy]

The original post ("OP") in this thread is broadly objectionable for reasons that go beyond the use of the word "females" and the adjective "angry". To be sure, those linguistic choices are worth pointing out and discussing, but they are just symptoms of a more fundamental problem with the OP: namely, the OP assumes that the women mentioned in the story were interested in having sex with him, even though there is no evidence of that whatsoever.

According to the OP, the women mentioned in the OP were inebriated. On a fair reading, the women were not clearly articulating any wish other than a desire to be transported to their destination by the driver. The OP's conclusion that these women wanted to have sex with him is based on a "mythical assumption[] ... that women are walking around ... in a state of constant consent to sexual activity". R. v. Ewanchuk, [1999] 1 SCR 330, 1999 CanLII 711 at ¶ 87 (L'Heureux‑Dubé, J, concurring) (internal quotation marks omitted). The OP places a lot of emphasis on the clothing choices of one of the women, but those clothes were obviously chosen when they left their home, some number of hours ago. The clothes were not chosen for the purpose of conveying consent to sexual activity with a taxi driver many hours later (or with anyone, but certainly not with somebody they didn't even know they were going to meet until later). I acknowledge that one of the women allegedly said that "[y]ou are going to fuck me so hard", but (according to the OP) she was not speaking in a generally lucid manner, presumably due to alcohol or other intoxicants, and in context that statement cannot seriously be taken as an expression of consent to sexual activity. A more reasonable reading of the alleged exchanges is that these women simply wanted to verbally flirt to pass the time on their way home in the taxi -- not that they wanted to engage in any physical activity, sexual or otherwise.

[TheBuddha]

Good start to an erotic novel, though. Lots of money to be made in that genre. OP should finish the story and self-publish it.

I remember it from the 1980s. We were talking about dating and one guy said, "Well, when I'm out with a female . . ." It makes me think of cows and bulls.


As for the rest, I agree with Cathy. The women were drunk and flirting, not angry, and not seriously looking to have sex.

If he was driving a pizza delivery car instead of for Uber, I think I may have seen that story acted out once.

[mrpercentage]

I may have called them that because I have a psychological barrier between me and them. I was a pizza guy in college and a cable guy before that. I have been hit on by several "girls" and a couple of gay guys. I think it involves maximum exposure to random people in personal settings. Doesn't happen everyday or even that often but I have had them drop a towel, leave panties on the cable jack, answer in a transparent teddy tell me they need to get my tip walked across the room and bend over slowly to get it, offer to do anything I want for $100, drop keys in a g-string repeatedly as I followed them up 3 flights of stairs with a pizza, talking dirty about the cableman in their house on the phone while I was in the room, or even a gay guy asking about gay porn as he rubbed his crotch. Look, the truth is stranger than fiction. Most of it was in Scottsdale, Az
I'm sure a couple of them were just messing with me. Even had a lady if that's what you want me to call her ask me what I thought about beasiality. Weird

[Jschange]

I am an angry female velociraptor

mrpercentage, so far, your two posts about 'being hit on' look like they belong on literotica or askreddit. I'm not going to dissect them, but they come across as icky, and make me think that I am glad never to have risked my safety by taking an uber.
 
If you're distressed by the sexual harassment you've experienced at work, you have my deepest sympathy and I hope you report these customers to your supervisors. I understand if that's why you used icky language, maybe you can revise some of your posts and we can be supportive. Ill try to be supportive anyway.  That's really cool that you've had lots of side jobs driving! Hope you stay safe

[mrpercentage]

Whatever half the women in the world are not Mother Terrsa or you apparently. We are the only ones that ever do wrong right? I'm ending here because I can see it's going bad as I can not even use a word like female. God forbid a sexually liberal female hit on a man. Never happens. Sex in the City is built on a man conspiracy of lies.

I take it you have never watched taxi cab confessions on HBO. Uber is a little safer as it is all tracked to cell phones.

[use2betrix]

A real man would have pictures to back up this story.

This is starting to feel more like Reddit all the time.

[mrpercentage]

Ha,
No pictures. Didn't act on any of the situations above but I enjoyed being involved in most of them. I wouldn't lie about that. I didn't do anything crazy, kept it as professional as I could, and I celebrate that as a small victory. Although I know a couple of coworkers think it's lame I didn't do anything. They said they would have. Then again no gonaherpasyphilaids for me. Thank you God

Perhaps I am perfectly equipped to deal with all I run into. Just sharing the real world. Don't need support or trophies. Had to tell someone but if I told my wife that would be the end of Uber for me. She already expressed concern that it was too close to the bars being open. Maybe I should push it to 4am to start.

[babysnowbyrd]

What about that interaction led you to believe that the women were mad?

OP is worried about marriage and wrecking family but is picking up passengers with Uber at 3am.  Exactly what kind of passenger demographic do you pick up at 3 am usually and how that isn't ruining marriage or raising suspicion or putting OP into possibly entangling situation though is beyond me.

Bar runs are the most lucrative time to drive in my area. I work full time, but drive for Uber/Lyft on the weekends from about 10pm to 3:30am. Drunk people need to get home! I've only had one bad experience in over 200 rides.

[mrpercentage]

Yeah two in one night was really weird. Most of the weird stuff I run into was as a cable/pizza man

[MrDelane]

This is starting to feel more like Reddit all the time.

Agreed.

[mrpercentage]

Nothing against bars. I mostly don't want anyone puking in my car. Being that I can choose when to drive, I avoid it. Best part of Uber is flexible hours. It is a service that should be done. Those girls were lucky a guy like me was out driving. Or unlucky if you are thinking dirty.

Perhaps these are stories I should take to my grave. Being my brothers keeper. My coworkers know my pizza/cable stories. Maybe I will keep Uber to myself. I'm not worried about destroying my family. I recognize long term consequences- that's all

Hmm... I'm not really in the mood to be identified for 'being' today. Or enlisted.. Maybe we could just say "...has even been an, knows..". Or would it be "..ever been a, knows.."? I won't get too bent out of shape, I guess, if you incorrectly identify me with a vowel article on a day that I'm identifying more with consonants. But you should be careful, because some people would. In fact, if I put up with your inappropriate consonant shaming it's exposing others who shouldn't have to put up with that kind of conduct.

You rarely ask for anything so I will respond even though I'm beginning to think this thread is a mistake. You guys are my think tank. I say exactly like I see it here. There is always the constraints of language in a text message but I share ideas here. That is the only reason. I suppose I could find a forum of lesser minded individuals but I think I would prefer keeping the harder truths I have seen to myself. Or perhaps present them differently. I think the Reddit post in this section before might have given me the idea but I will own it. Now I will move back on to investing where I am truly a long term troll

A place to discuss anything and everything. Want to chat about sports, politics, the weather, or any other miscellaneous topic that doesn't fit in the Mustachian discussions above? This is the place.

Sounds like the right place to me?  It can be a chore to just keep talking money, money, and money after a while.

If I locked every thread where people were offensive, or I didn't care for it, we'd have a lot more locked threads.  Fortunately (unfortunately?) the thread locking isn't just based on my whims.  ;)

For the record, no, personally I don't think this thread belongs on the MMM forums, and I don't think it should have ever been posted here to begin with.
