Licensed to laugh! Instagram account reveals the funniest, strangest, and most confusing things people have ever overheard in an Uber
Generally, people summon an Uber when they just want to get from Point A to Point B — but sometimes, they get some unexpected entertainment with their ride.
Passengers — and drivers — are sharing some of their funniest and strangest stories from Uber rides with the @Overheard Instagram account, transcribing the humorous and sometimes bizarre conversations they've listened to while in a car.
Some have caught snatches of phone calls out of context, while others get their anecdotes from friends and couples riding together.
Sometimes, it's the driver and a passenger having an odd conversation, about everything from Uber ratings to relationships to travel.
The funny Instagram account has nearly half a million followers, and also has some highlight reels for Uber Pools, missed connections, and five-star drivers.
