I drove for 6 hours last night, from 8pm until 2am, and made $150. Around 1am I got a call to pick someone up in the Sunset. When I arrived at the house off Noriega there was chaos. There were a group of three guys, one who looked Mexican and really drunk, in the street shouting and arguing with another group of three guys. I pulled up to a safe distance to watch and the drunk was really drunk and trying to fight pretty much everyone, including his buddies (one asian one white) who were trying to pull him away from the other guys. The drunk guy was pounding his chest like a gorilla and challenging them all to a fight but the white guys didn’t seem too interested in fighting.
After watching this go on for a few minutes I remembered I’m actually supposed to be picking someone up, and after looking at the app I realized it was the drunk Mexican I’m supposed to pick up. I didn’t want to get in the middle of all of this so decided to just continue watching from my car. I did keep the car running so I could take off if needed.
The Mexican guys friends eventually got him calmed down and away from the other guys (all white), and the white guys seemed like they were trying to calm him down as well. Just when things seemed like they were about to subside, the biggest white guy walked over to shake the drunk guys hand and the drunk guy swatted his hand away and pushed him. The white guy came back and shoved him hard. The drunk came at the guy swinging with haymakers but was unable to land anything before the three white guys were on him and kicked the shit out of him. His two friends just left, walking quickly down the street, while the drunk guy got his ass kicked really bad. He took several shots to the head and then went to the ground. It only took about 30 seconds before he was on the ground and not trying to fight back anymore, he had was in self-defense mode. Once the guys had made their point they got in to a car and left as well. I got out of the car to check on the drunk guy and he was had sobered up a little bit from the beating and actually seemed pretty scared. I asked him if he needed an ambulance and he said no. I told him I was his Uber driver and asked if he still needed a ride. He said yes, got in the car, and I dropped him off over in the Marina. He was bleeding from the head and some got on my leather seats but I was able to clean it off with some specialty cleaner that I have. Just another night driving around drunk assholes. Love it.
