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..

He must have been uber drunk.
I see what you did there. ^
As did everyone else
Wow a philly fan calling someone a bad person. The Irony isn’t lost on me…
At least he isn’t from New York.
Hey Jack, go shove a peach up your asshole. -GA
He should send Bo Wallace the bill
I doubt the tab would only be $900. I’ll take a fucking uber 10 miles and its $30.
At that rate it’s $3 a mile. It’s not even 250 miles from Atlanta to the AL/MS line, which at that rate would be $750. It is quite feasibly “only” $900
As an Atlantan and proud Georgian, fuck you Jack.
Your name makes this a tad ironic don’t ya think?
The city of brotherly love? Gaaaaaayyyy. I’ll take Atlanta.
This was proven to be fake
Nice try.
Strong words from Jack Hammer to the entire state of Georgia
Please help I’m still stuck in Mississippi
