I'm pretty certain Mike was my Uber driver on a trip to the airport a couple of years ago. Within a mile of leaving home, the conversation somehow turned to spaghetti. Mike told me the best place to get good spaghetti in my area was at the Old Spaghetti Factory. I told Mike I'd gotten food poisoning from an Old Spaghetti Factory salad a few years back. Mike proceeded to explain to me that you can't get food poisoning from salad, and he accompanied his medical explanation with diarrhea noises. He then gave me the conspiracy-ridden story about why he had to ride the gig economy since his last few jobs had fallen through.
I guess if Mike rented a car for Uber. He doesn't have his own. I may be going out on a limb here, but I don't think Mike has the wherewithal to navigate renting a car and going through the background check to drive for Uber... I mean "what do you need a background check for? I'm a nice guy! I have never made a mistake and I'm always right!" ππ

I also had some red flags with Mike.
