Which Ole Miss Fan Was This?

quote:

A Twitter user named @ompowderblues tweeted on Saturday that his cousin, Joseph Martin, left a New Year's Eve party at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, hailed an Uber cab, and then passed out.

The only problem was that he accidentally put his home address in Mississippi in the application. And yes, the driver actually drove him there.

The cab ride cost the poor guy $908.

His cousin also included a picture of the receipts in his tweets.

Am I the only one who doesn't see this as a problem?
I love Uber.
This story only enhances my opinion of em.

First, this seems ideal. Accidentally cutting out the horrible hangover commute? Check. Second, it seems really inexpensive given that the uber went two states.

My thoughts exactly.
The inebriated guy arrived home safely--as did everyone else on the road.
Story could've been much worse.
Plus ... their business plan is brilliant.
But that's a pro-capitalist post for another thread.

Ole Miss should have an automatic sitcom style laugh track playing in the background anytime they are on TV.

The laugh track should also automatically play anytime one clicks on an Ole Miss thread.

I would think pankReb because he often gets information wrong and types it out but I wish it was rebelgator. Well, because I just don't like him.

Has this not been posted yet? I heard it a few days back on the radio and assumed someone had to have brought it here.


What a nightmare.

Why? Would this somehow be bad for me? It's only $900

Maybe you're just being silly, but the hotel for two nights and the drive back home is easily under $300
