Educating the public, one git at a time

[mme_hardy]

Cheerful Uber driver, picking me up: "Have you had your ten thousand steps today?"
Me: "I'm disabled."
Him: "But you still need to exercise!"

Turns out he was a newly-certified personal trainer. I commented that as the disability came on, I'd been very grateful for a trainer who knew my limitations.

Cheerful driver: "You still need to do perfect reps! Just at 75% intensity!"

Very glad he's not *my* trainer.

I had an Uber driver tell me about his dead pet frog. I mean, that his pet frog had died, not that he had a zombie frog.

I am so used to being a magnet for people telling me bizarre stuff that it never occurred to me that he might have been attempting to follow company rules.

Zombie frog would've been more worth the listening, alas.
