Limited Uber
On Monday, I called an
Uber cab to take me to the hospital for a phlebotomy session and to pick up my
prescription. The trip was less than 20 minutes and what I was accustomed to
had changed. I used to sit in the front seat with the driver and attempt to
engage in conversation.
This time, I was in
the back seat, wearing a mask, and though there was some driver-rider
conversation, I cannot say it was free-flowing as would normally be the case
with anyone interested. Breathe, I barely could, but not to suffocation, I even
got to blow my nose and I was eventually delivered to my destination.
Flatulent Uber
Before all this
pandemic situation however, one considers the case of James Mallett and what a
hammer or a hitter he might have been when he let rip the expulsion of gases in
flatulence that the Uber driver had no other option but to ask Mr Mallett to
exit his vehicle.
Chasers Night Club to
which Mr Mallett was going already inebriated seems to have a reputation of
patrons resorting to unladylike and ungentlemanly conduct, but one should not
be too prejudiced about certain unseemly forms of expression.
Breathless Uber
The driver, Aleksander
Bonchev, who has since returned to Bulgaria must have had a hell of a night
already before Mr. Mallett compounded it with sharing uninvited bodily functions
with the unwitting driver. A fracas resulted in Mr. Mallett beating up Mr
Bonchev and in self-defence Mr. Mallett was knocked down.
On the blurt of a
fart and everything else that happened afterwards, it became a criminal matter,
it has gone to court with Mr. Mallett getting a six-month jail term suspended
for 18 months. One can only wonder what he has been bound over for, the obvious
being not losing his temper regardless of his state of sobriety, whether he has
to plug it in and withhold with great restrain his effluvium, dare he even
breathe, that is if Uber has not already banned him from riding their cabs.
What a difference a
fart makes and quite radically to people’s lives.
