Today, I woke up to a bunch of missed calls from a number I didn't know. I had called an Uber in my sleep. They charged a cancellation fee. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I crawled into bed at 2 in the morning. At 6 am, the telephone rang, waking me up. It was a wrong number. FML
Today, I saw a missed call on my phone. Thinking it was one of the multiple jobs I applied for, I called back. Turns out it was just a debt collector. FML
Today, I took the train home to save a few dollars on an Uber fare. I fell asleep on the train, got a fine for travelling outside of my paid zone, and had to take an even longer Uber home than it would have been from where I started. FML
Today, I got woken up by a text from an unknown number at 3 am saying, "haha I found your number." I ignored it and tried to go back to sleep. After hours of trying to fall asleep, my drowsiness was disturbed by another text from the same person saying, "Sorry, wrong number." FML
Today, I was going to an event with my friends and I'd told them I could pay for an Uber since I had a coupon for 70% off. It was only going to cost 5 bucks, but later I looked at my bank statement and an additional 15 bucks was taken from me. FML
Today, I woke up with a hangover. Reading my texts and emails, I then sort of remembered that in my drunken haze I'd booked a non-refundable flight to the wrong city for the same day. FML
Today, I fell asleep in a taxi. So did the taxi driver. FML
Today, I found out that the dream in which I drunkenly phoned my boss and called him a "fat useless piece of shit" actually did happen. I woke up to 10 missed calls and 5 angry texts stating I was fired. FML
Today, a guy who'd never used ride-share before asked for help at the airport. I thought we hadn't figured it out yet, so I canceled mine, which doubled my fare when I ordered it a minute later because we'd actually had figured it out. FML
Today, I called a taxi after a night of partying. When it arrived, I realised I had no cash, so I told the driver I'd quickly grab some from an ATM. He made me leave my phone with him as collateral in case I was pulling a prank. He drove off the moment I turned my back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Might want to put your phone somewhere away from where you sleep to prevent that from happening again. That or look into some sort of app or program that will keep your brain from being able to finish an order without you being awake.

I hope it was a 5-Star dream, because that stunt got you a 1-Star rating as a rider.

Fun fact: we drivers can't rate people who we cancel on or cancel on us. At least in my city

Next time you need to Gett some sleep to give yourself a Lyft, you better hide your phone. I know you can get in trouble Via your sleep; Juno that? If you goCatch a Cabify, Uber won't have to pay in advance. Maybe you should GoCar or GO-JEK. If the driver is good, she won't Careem from curb to curb like she has Wingz. Fasten your seatbelt if you're going to GrabTaxi, it's EasyTaxi, easy I'm telling you.

Do you know what "puns" are? It's a bunch of travel apps used as puns. But yeah, it is trying way too hard.

Just think: all that time you spent making that, you could have been doing something constructive.

They didn't literally call and speak with anyone... they just ordered a ride by touching all the wrong buttons in the app!
