Drunk Ole Miss Fan Passes Out In Uber In Atlanta, Wakes Up In Mississippi $900 Later
There have been plenty of horror stories in the last few months because of Uber and its astronomical surge prices for rides, but this story might just top them all. Ever wonder just how far an Uber driver will take you out of town? Apparently, Atlanta to Mississippi is not a problem.
Cousin left NYE @CFAPeachBowl party, got in @uber, woke up in Mississippi with a $900 tab. Accidentally entered home address and passed out.

Part of me is skeptical. This is the internet after all, and I’m almost positive Uber has a city limit that drivers won’t exceed. However, I can absolutely see this happening. First off, the dude just saw his school get its shit pushed in for all 60 minutes against TCU. Without question, the guy’s next objective was to drink away the memory of the abortion he just witnessed, including those three Bo Wallace interceptions. I’m assuming he tailgated and drank at the game, because, “Hell yes! Damn right! Hotty Toddy, gosh almighty. Who the hell are we?” He was easily blacked out before midnight and eventually, he got to the point of “fuck this city, I’m going home” drunk.
It just comes down to the moral compass of the Uber driver. Do I believe a person from Atlanta would take complete advantage of this passed out kid? Absolutely. From past experience, Atlantans are in the list of the top five worst human beings on the planet. Sure, I was rocking my Chase Utley T-shirt and I might have initiated the fight by pouring a beer on Jason Heyward’s head, but that’s no reason to publicly humiliate and physically drag out a grown ass man from a stadium. I have rights and shit, but I digress.
Just to recap, don’t be belligerent and get into an Uber alone. Also, never trust anyone from Atlanta, or really from the state of Georgia while we’re at it..

As an Atlantan and proud Georgian, fuck you Jack.

10 years ago at 3:43 pmPlease help I’m still stuck in Mississippi
10 years ago at 4:16 pmIf this really was proven to be fake, the idea probably came from what happened to me. I got blackout in a bar New Years eve after the game and apparently got robbed. Woke up in a random front yard to a medic and my iPhone, wallet, and shoes were missing along with 700 dollars withdrawn from my account.

10 years ago at 7:54 pmMan, I thought it was a good story
10 years ago at 12:17 pmUsed uber for the first time at daytona beach… the driver showed up drunker than me
10 years ago at 4:54 pmThe guy is OM Alum. He released his story, which does not line up with the allegations.
10 years ago at 9:15 pmI got charged 109$ on NYE for a 7 mile ride. So if this kid went 57 miles at the same rate I got charged that’s $900. I believe it because Uber price gauges it’s drunk passengers and then just refunds you if you actually catch them.
