1. Imagine if I could ever run on time for a social event. Like, ever.
2. Welllll, I guess public transport is out, Uber is in.
3. But I did tell myself I'd save money this week.
4. I tell myself that every week.
5. Is it...time? Do I finally dive into Uber Pool?
6. Oh god, what if I have to talk to people?
7. Actually that'd be a great pre-party warmup.
8. OK, it is so much cheaper to travel via Uber Pool and it's only a couple of minutes away.
9. How have I never done this before?
10. Probably because the thought of talking to strangers sometimes makes me feel like I'm back in primary school, with Mum telling me I can go up and order the pink sprinkled donut at the counter by myself, like a big girl, but I want her to come up with me — and also order for me.
11. Wait, what if I share a ride with someone who does talk to me?
12. Or what if...I meet my new best friend.
13. OH MY GOD, what if I meet my soulmate?
14. "How did you guys meet, a dating app?"
15. "No, no, actually we locked eyes for the first time...in our Uber Pool ride."
16. This is the meet-cute I deserve.
17. Has there been a movie made about people falling in love on an Uber Pool trip? There should be.
18. OK, here goes nothing, I'm doing it, goodbye social anxiety, hello Uber Pool.
19. I'm the first one here, phew.
20. Oop, OK we're picking up someone on the way!
21. Do I look OK?
22. This is nowhere near as bad as I thought.
23. The small talk isn't even painful, me, my new Uber Pool BFF and the driver are about to become the three best friends anyone could ever have.
24. Can't believe I've been justifying that public transport is easier this whole time like a moron.
25. I'm going to take an Uber Pool trip home after the party and see if I get one of those rides with neon lights.
26. Am I more excited to Uber Pool home post-party than go to the actual party?
27. Yes. Yes I am.
28. Should I just get out at my destination and then re-order an Uber Pool trip home?
29. No, that might be pushing it.
30. My friends aren't even going to believe I'm finally on time and not talking about being stuck in a tunnel on a train.
31. Goodbye to my new friend, enjoy your Saturday evening.
32. Would it be weird to say "I'll miss you"?
33. I won't say that. Maybe we'll share an Uber Pool ride home together.
34. Maybe we'll exchange friendship bracelets.
35. Would it be bad if I took an Uber Pool trip to work every time it rained now?
36. I think I'm going to do it.
37. It feels like carpooling on a school trip, I'm nostalgic AF.
38. Plus, it's got to be better for the environment than me driving my single ass around in a car.
39. Look at me, doing my part to ease congestion on the roads. A conscientious queen.
40. Oooh, maybe with the savings I made getting here, I can Uber Pool my way via drive-thru on the way home.
41. And that's on being financially savvy. Thanks Uber Pool!
