Another day in the life of a Miami Uber driver—and let me tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster. From chasing non-existent surges to picking up crying college girls fresh out of frat parties, this vlog dives into the chaos (not chaos, but you know) that is my Saturday. I rant about the absurdity of $4 rides and passengers who split fares like they’re buying dollar menu tacos. Seriously, why do I even accept some of these trips? I break down Uber’s shady practices, like monitoring driver and customer battery levels and nickel-and-diming everyone involved. It’s predatory, plain and simple.

Highlights include a pregnant woman in labor (yes, for $4!), sorority meltdowns, and the mystery of why Miami's surges never show up when you need them. But it’s not all bad. One kind passenger left a $20 tip after retrieving her purse, proving there’s hope in humanity yet. I even found time to dream up my side hustle as an OnlyFans manager—kidding… mostly.

Stick around as I navigate frat parties, low-paying rides, and my ongoing existential crisis about this job. Will I hit my $100 goal? Or will Uber finally break me? Watch to find out and, as always, Diamond Transition!
