    That reminds me. I ordered Uber eats and the driver, a black girl, drives up and it’s hysterical. She’s telling me how her last delivery was a racist PoS, threatened cops on her, and she’s so sorry about my order but angry about the situation. I’m just standing there hungry for my food.

    We sat on the porch and I let her calm down, then I dont know why, but I asked if she wanted a hug. She was taken back but she agreed, and it was a super weird hug. But she felt better I think. I dunno.

      I just had a mental image of an awkward hug while shoving french fries into your face over her shoulder and fuckin lost it.

      The weirdest thing about that story is a black girl who isn’t used to racism. Shitty thought, huh?

        What, like she has the cops called on her every week or something? I’d be pretty stressed about that, especially if it meant my next delivery might not tip me.
