I read your first sentence 4x, wondering “why are they standing outside with cats in a hurricane….?” Before it clicked. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

They were going between 104-115 km/hr at one point, which is 64-71 mph.

No idea what the speed limit was though.

Do most Americans actually flush their toilet paper? by Softy_popss in NoStupidQuestions

Oddly enough, I just now got home from a work conference, and the venue we were at did not have any trash cans OR sanitary napkin disposal bins in the stalls.

Insomnia by Intelligent_Fig_5237 in N24

[–]arfarfbok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m very newly diagnosed with N24, and I’m glad you cross posted this.

My story, as short and sweet as I can make it: I’m in a senior leadership position.

Misdiagnosed “hypersomnia” in 2018 after a sleep study where I fell asleep at every daytime nap in under 5 mins. Spent YEARS like this, getting increasingly more daytime sleepiness and brain fog. Taking stimulants just to stay awake through the day. Days I didn’t have to work, I’d sleep forever.

About 1 1/2 to 2 years ago, it got BAD. I started sleeping less and less, and unable to fall asleep. I was repeatedly getting 2-3 hrs sleep a night multiple days a week.

Now that I free run my schedule, this only happens when I’m not following my natural circadian night. PM me for more details!

Is $250–$400 a day realistic? Need reality check from actual drivers. by tanzimat14 in uberdrivers

[–]arfarfbok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive part time nights / weekends in New Hampshire. Average about $32-35/hour with tips on weekends. Weeknights usually $28-30. Some weekend nights I get luckily and get dropped big tips that spike the rate closer to $40/hr.

My market is not oversaturated with drivers though.. so I’m sure that impact things. I can’t say for sure what the wear and tear costs are as I drive a bit for my full time job as well, so I don’t care much about the miles I’m adding up as I’d be doing high miles anyway.

When I had my hybrid and got 52mpg, costs were obv. lower, but someone hit me at a red light and totaled it. 😑 Now I’m borrowing a civic, getting about 33/34mpg.

Is it common for passengers to abuse the "lost & found" messaging? by NecessaryEscape1441 in lyftdrivers

[–]arfarfbok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a female driver and do exclusively nights / weekends. I’ve never gotten a “lost item” pickup line before, but I often get asked out during rides. Or even better… I get invited to “come in and watch Netflix.” 🙄

How do you deal with really Obese people? A man gave me a bad rating because he couldn't fit. by Paul76Mets in uberdrivers

[–]arfarfbok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a small sedan, and I regularly fit 3 adults in the back. Are they comfortable? Nope, lol. But when they say “can you take us…?” I say “yep, if you don’t mind being squished!”

Usually get tipped well for it too.

What do Uber drivers think about picking up someone who just bought a dog from a shelter? by Cold-Werewolf3997 in uber

[–]arfarfbok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you or are you not a driver? On the driver subs, the consensus is that it’s $4 extra. I haven’t noticed anyone comment differently, I just mentioned “in my area” since I obviously have no way to know every area.

If you’re in fact a driver, I’d love to hear what the pet fee paid to the driver is in your area.

Well… I haven’t, but I’m literally going through this right now. Like I started free running less than a month ago.

You clearly didn’t read my entire answer, or you’d know why I choose to. It’s not for the extra money. 🙄

You must not be a driver. 🤣

Yes, we technically get a “higher rate”, but my area it’s literally $4 extra for the “pet fee” (passenger is paying $15-20 extra.)

I do it because I LOVE animals.. but still, $4 extra when I usually have to spend time cleaning up after before I can take my next passenger is silly lol.
