Hitched a ride with a Lyft driver who showed me her $1,200 tip from one trip
So I'm in the back of this lady's car in Chicago last week, and she starts telling me about how she picked up a group of guys from a bachelor party who were in a hurry. They asked her to drive them from Wrigleyville all the way to O'Hare with a stop at a liquor store. The whole thing took like 25 minutes and the dude in the front seat handed her $1,200 in cash when they got out. She said he was a venture capitalist who just wanted to make someone's night. I was sitting there doing the math - that's more than I make in a week of training clients. Has anyone else heard of tips going that high for something so random?

Waited for my next Lyft to hand me a $5 tip and a protein bar wrapper, so I think that VC guy and I exist in completely parallel universes. Drove a guy to the airport last month who handed me a crumpled $20 and said "keep the change" when the fare was $19.75. Took him literally 2 minutes to realize I was the driver not some valet, awkward silence the whole way.
