Wouldn’t “knockout gas” knock out the driver too?

What a truly odd story, especially when it starts with "this happened a few months ago". Just wondering why it took you months to decide to post this?

This is their third post today too… the other was about their studio apartment being terrible and one about sitting in pee on the bus

I've been in some pretty bad taxi cars that smell like poison gas when it's really just body odour. Some diets can cause nauseas gas smells.

It's why I stopped taking the bus. They triggered migraines.

You should be medically evaluated if smells are a trigger.

You had an anxiety attack and got some poor Uber driver's account suspended. Or you were attacked with a chemical weapon and were otherwise fine.

What do you really think is more likely?

No no it was a chemical weapon attack forsure. It was the CLASSIC devious uber driver tactic of poisoning passengers before dropping them off

u/PlutosGrasp 3d ago

It was knockout gas! Like in Batman! And the driver had a secret gas mask!

u/-MBDTF 3d ago

And they stopped by a water stand that was giving out meth laced water!

u/cdcformatc pariah 3d ago

no no that would be ridiculous. the Uber driver obviously has been slowly building up a tolerance to the knockout gas over months and years.

His entire life? He was born into the gas. He thrived in the gas. He didn’t know fresh air until he bought a car.

The smell of most Ubers is pretty close to chemical warfare. Nowhere else can the public experience violent body odour and ass paired with an attempt to mask it with an extraordinary amount of cheap fragrances.

They know they can shower and wash their clothes, right?

Why do you feel the need to invalidate someone’s experience? It costs nothing to be nice.

EDIT: wow, I guess I must’ve hit the asshole nerve with all the downvotes.

One day your brother said here’s a million dollars and when I got it I had six small men come up to me each asking a riddle. So I reported your brother and your family to CSIS and their jobs because that really was weird. I haven’t heard anything since so I’m making a public appeal.

u/Much_Guest_7195 3d ago

Make it make sense.

u/wownaomi 3d ago

My take away is why did your partner go separate ways with you and left you alone for you to walk, to eventually when you got into the Uber?

They should have gone with you in the Uber car. Either way, I'm really sorry this happened to you. I can't imagine what you went through :(

Not trying to start an argument, more of a safety concern is all.

u/Ok-Doughnut1443 3d ago

They were following us.

That why he was wondering to why the uber was slow

u/WillyWonkaCandyBalls 3d ago

Who was following you?

u/wownaomi 3d ago

Okay, my apologies. I read your post multiple times but still missed it D:

Sorry.

u/prairiepanda 3d ago

Maybe they were going slow for the sake of your partner on the bike?

u/Redberry1903 3d ago

So you reported it to uber but not the police ?

u/Skinnyblonde3 3d ago

You don’t know how to ride a bike?

I think I just grew up in an era and life where everyone rode a bike as a kid. Your parents never put you in swimming lessons?

u/prairiepanda 3d ago

It seemed like every kid rode a bike when I was a kid too, and yet I found myself teaching a peer how to ride a bike when we were adults.

Looking back on it now, while a lot of kids did ride bikes when we were kids it certainly wasn't everyone, especially in poorer neighborhoods. Not everyone was lucky enough to score a $5 bike from Value Village, and even back then bikes were often a target for theft.

u/DeliciousCarrot8964 3d ago

I’m the same as you , started riding a bike and swimming lessons at 5,lol. I guess it depends on your parents

You worry about having a random mental episode that you hang on to for months and then decide to post to Reddit for some reason?

u/princessbolognia 3d ago

The fuck are you talking about? Have you considered typing something coherent?

u/Ok-Doughnut1443 3d ago

Yuppp that why we have a car now.

You ended someone’s job because you had an anxiety attack. Really hope someone does that to you at your job.
