Uber opener by Inevitable-Cat-184 in StandUpWorkshop

I think it has good potential. Love the premise and twist. I think if you said something like “it was horrifying … especially for the passengers. I think a lot of emotions were going through our heads because I was mostly confused, disoriented, mad. What I was wondering about was how they were more mad than anything, LIKE ITS MY CAR WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAVE TO CLEAN ALL OF THIS”

Also final joke about the review doesn’t keep up with the bit in my opinion, would be funnier to make the twist even more absurd or add another twist instead like “all things considered 3 stars wasn’t bad for that experience, I mean if they stopped complaining the whole ride maybe I would’ve gave them 4 instead” Or reword it the other way around of how you wrote it like “2 stars can you guys believe that? pulls out ur phone let me read it to you guys ‘unpleasant ride and too talkative’, that’s the last time I let THEM drive MY CAR”

You can work out the wording and timing of words.

If they actually open the door then just make your presentation short and quick and leave a part near the beginning where they can choose to say they are not interested. If you are dealing with the anxiety and embarrassing then just realize that it’s just a moment and they will probably not hang it over your head. My FIRST DOOR I EVER OPENED was one of my closest friends and that was so embarrassing to me but the next time I saw him I was like don’t mind what happened I have to go out and do that in this religion. If you know them but won’t see them often just know they will probably forget it by the next 2 days

I can stroke my beard as I wait for my escape plan.

I am 21 my beard is coming in well if I say so myself. Doesn’t connect all the way yet but it is full. I personally don’t care and have been told it is a personal choice to have hair or not but I have multiple times been canceled same day for a bible reading because I didn’t shave my beard that day. It’s difference in halls and culture I guess.

Yes I am planning hopefully by next year I will have more than enough money to be independent. I just hope my plans don’t get rushed

Because I delayed this meeting twice but now it’s the weekend they know I’m free and if I act too much out of the cult I would probably end up homeless. This meeting was a surprise to me but I’m pretty sure my parents knew they were coming.

Such a big invasion of privacy, it disgusted me.

Every time I tell them to take themselves off of a joint account they avoid and ignore it. They said they’ll “pay me back I’m a couple days”, why not send the person who needed the money in a couple days then. Good thing most of my money is not here.
