An Uber driver has shared via the microblogging platform X, how two ladies pretended to be dead to evade paying for the ride.
In a lengthy tweet, he disclosed that when he picked the girls up, they appeared dirty, intoxicated, and had a strong odor. During the trip, the ladies started foaming from the mouth and seemingly collapsed.
Out of fear, he drove them to the address on the app, and fortunately met three of their friends, who resuscitated them with water.
Despite the ordeal, he mentioned that when the ladies woke up, he requested his transport fare, and collected his money in full, much to their bemusement.
His tweet read;
โPicked up two ladies very early this morning from a hotel in Surulere to Lekki. Ladies came out almost naked, dirty, smelling and wasted. Ten minutes into the trip, I noticed a frightening silence and decided to look back just to be sure I wasnโt all by myself. To my surprise Ladies were totally crashed out with form dripping from their mouths with their phones on the seat, legs spread out like wildfire and a sight I never want to witness again. I was confused so I parked and called out to them but no response nor blink. Only thing left to do was to Head to their destination. Apparently someone would identify them. Got to their street, located the number and banged on the gate till the gateman came out worried about the noise I was making. Explained everything to him and allowed him have a look. โHa, na here them dey stayโ He said and hurriedly went in to call their friends. Another set of three ladies dashed out asking what happened and I had to explain to them again and again. โOya bring water pour themโ one said, told her not inside my car. So, we brought them out, put them on the ground and Watered the death spell inside of them. Gradually, they regained consciousness as the coughed and tried catching their breaths. All of these didnโt move me cos some use it as a pattern not to pay. Immediately I noticed they were back to reality, I asked for my money. The shock On their faces wasnโt funny. โOga relax naโ another said, โabeg make una pay me make I move, cos this drama I no understandโ. I was paid and with speed I left that zone before trouble will come again knocking. Ladies, if you intend dying, donโt book a ride. Just die in peace.โ
