Uber Eats Deliveries Meet Murphy's Law

[@RestlessMule]

Man, it bugs the heck out of me if I hear sirens and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. Nice music choice @18:00; I don’t think I’ve heard that one before. I hate going to downtown of any city because of the parking situation and there’s usually a lot of one way streets.

Yes, we are very sneaky sometimes. That intersection is where three main roads all come together with a sweet red light camera to boot. As you probably know, my affection with traffic lights always shine through. Nothing beats that one near my neck of the woods. Forever bitter about that one with the no turn on red that always waits for me. Yep, that's Norfolk! I always feel like a tourist or new driver going over there. People walking everywhere too and paying to park. No thank you! The song is called One More Ride by Isola James. Love me some Epidemic Sound!

In Singapore, we don't have Uber eats but we have GrabFood, Food Panda, Deliveroo, and Lalamove. The incentives for clocking more jobs can sometimes lead to risky situations eg rushing on the road. Thanks for sharing your journey. Often it's challenging to document while working, but you do so rigorously. Lovely to watch!

Although it may seem silly, your safety trumps the food deliveries. I enjoy doing it because in my area I get to ride and make money in the process. Filming is an additional plus to that. Take care and be safe.

@@FYERFIGHTER defo! Life is more important! Thanks for the reminder. The risks from food delivery by driving were shared with me by a friend. As for me, I did it by walking, which has some degree of freedom--eg no vehicle other than my sore ankles and blisters on soles to maintain--but has its own kinds of risk too eg falling down after tripping on a slight ie almost nonexistent kerb. 😅

[@FYERFIGHTER]

Stay safe! I've watched others do bicycle and walking routes. It's seems fun especially if it's during free time and making extra money. Do you or have you thought about making videos???

[@schoolneverteach]

@@FYERFIGHTER making videos? All the time! If u mean making videos of my food delivery walks, no, cos I only did the work for half year when covid hit in 2020 and stopped after a blood blister hit, and of cos I regret not recording footages of my food deliveries then. I do have another channel of pov faceless walking called @5canwalk but that's super low stakes-- no talk, no face, no editing. This current channel is not quite video making I know, more slideshows of stock photos but it's what I can cope with a three-day-week day job.... If u have any suggestions for me, pls let me know! Of cos I have been wanting to one day talk to the camera and press upload. Why did u ask?

[@FYERFIGHTER]

Just wondering if you recorded deliveries. I do it from time to time on the channel. One thing with youtube, just start even before you are ready. Don't delete your first videos. Nice to see where you came from and shows improvement! 💪

Loved this. You know if you accept an order on Ubereats by mistake or change your mind, you can just cancel it. I think you click on the help or ? mark in the corner and it gives a list of reasons you can choose for canceling. 😊

[@FYERFIGHTER]

Thank You! Yeah, I just checked and saw that I have completed 383 deliveries lifetime with Uber Eats and I actually cancelled my very first order about a month ago. Long story short, like 10 drinks from Wendy's and they were out of two types they wanted. Drive thru only with a long wait. BYE! Hahaha Thank you for the tip and keep em coming if you notice anything else.

that car is to nice to hustle in brother X.X

[@FYERFIGHTER]

Wanted it for over a decade before I bought it. Now that I have it, I wanna enjoy it, right?! I hear ya though and take it as a compliment. Uber Eats gives me an excuse to take it out for a couple of hours too.

[@UnWantedH3R0]

@@FYERFIGHTER that’s fair , but mannnn Uber and DoorDash gives you them miles !

[@FYERFIGHTER]

@UnWantedH3R0 S(miles) ok, that was 🧀 but you get it. Hahahaha I only do Uber Eats maybe 2 or 3 times a month for 2 to 3 hours. It just depends on free time and if I feel like it. Little bit of exercise, little bit of money, and a little bit of fun, especially if I bring the camera along.

[@UnWantedH3R0]

@@FYERFIGHTER ohhh see when you put it that way makes wayyy more sense , then hell yea bro go on you man imma be rooting for you ^~^

[@FYERFIGHTER]

Thanks! Ready for episode 2 on your channel for the Walking Dead! 💪

[@stephen2wheels]

So many things can go wrong 😂

[@FYERFIGHTER]

It was a fun evening, regardless. ALWAYS an adventure when messing with Uber Eats!
