Driving people around is no easy business.
About 25 years ago I had a summer job at a very tony country club. Six figure joining fee, five figure continuing membership dues, and that got you nothing but the privilege of paying top dollar for rounds, food, etc.
Not me, but my friend told me he drove someone in an Uber from a private airport to a gigantic house in town. During the trip she told him she had never been to a grocery store or basically any other department store. Friend of mine drove for Nicolas Cage. The dude had a handler. If you wanted to talk you would have to talk to the handler who would then deliver the message to Mr. Cage. IN THE CAR.Billy Bob Thornton was doing radio press for a movie about to come out, meaning he had to stop by 6-7 radio stations for interviews. He wanted to have a cigarette in the vehicle on the way to the next interview but I had to let him know our company has a no smoking policy in our vehicles.
Not a chauffeur but I worked as a busboy for a very rich country club. I know it cost at least a couple hundred thousand for continuing membership fees. I constantly had to be going from table to table while the rich people were dining and I would overheat snippets of conversation. Heard one group of younger adult men talk about how they broke into the basement of one of Taylor swifts homes.I drove 2 big time movie directors once. It was about a 30 minute drive to their jet.
They went to another bar, he handed my friend another hundred dollars and told him to look out the window and turn up the radio . None of us really believed my friend when this happened until the guy he drove got arrested for assault and possession of like 6 months later.One time I was driving a young woman and right before the destination she screamed for me to pull over. When I asked her what was wrong she pointed to the couple that was kissing in front of the building. Apparently the man was her fiancé. She didn't get out, she didn't cry, but she did ask if I could take her back to where I picked her up.
On another occasion he asked me why I wasn't in college yet and gave me an"Ohhh right" when I told him I couldn't afford to go yet and had to save up. Yeah, it was the late 80s and I was a young woman, one of the only female limo drivers at the time in that city. Scored a sweet leather jacket with the tips from that night.My sister was in a limo once and asked the driver about his most interesting ride. The driver said that he picked up some models who were going to a PETA demonstration,"I'd rather be bare than in fur" or whatever it was.
I overheard the Chancellor and the head of the Athletics department discussing an enormous, multimillion dollar training facility that was being commissioned on land that we were buying off campus. Our current training facilities are fairly new and our sports teams do not draw any crowds. We also bought an entire campus over a hundred miles away. F**k this place, and f**k the administration.
He went into extensive detail about how the most recent vault he broke in to, the Bellagio vault in Las Vegas. It started with access through a construction entrance, he then climbed through an open window, jimmied a door open, found an unattended security pass and strolled into the vault. Friend of mine worked for an upscale concierge chauffeur service. His most memorable moment came when he lost Marie Osmond. Fairly simple gig, go to airport and pick up Marie Osmond, who was to be the featured entertainer at a private event. Plane comes in, he meets her, she has carryon bag but her checked suitcase, containing her stage dresses and makeup, is missing.
She has in the meantime taken a cab to the gig, thinking she has been forgotten. Lots of apologies eventually ensued and there were no repercussions.Buddy of mine ended up picking up a Netflix producer while doing uber. He said they had a great conversation as he brought him to his hotel. The producer invited him up for a drink and since my friend was a film student he thought it'd be a good idea to go and try to get some good networking in.
As a result, a lot of the members like to show off their influence by inviting guests who would otherwise be unable to play at the club.We were given a heads up that the governor would be coming and they wanted us to know how to act around him. We were told he wanted to be treated like anyone else but they didn't want us to gawk. So, I guess to make sure us dumb caddies weren't gawking, we were instructed to not look at or acknowledge the governor.
1. Drew Barrymore was a frequent guest and there was always a lot of tension between her and her ex who always came with his extremely young new gf/wife. She wasn’t super friendly , seemed constantly stressed, and I felt kind of bad for her. Didn’t seem like a fun life. Mitt Romney, Morgan Freeman, and a bunch of big time Athletes were also frequent guests.
5. It was a small island with an equally small nightlife, so for fun, we would grab a drink and an ice cream cone, and hop on the yachts and sailboats parked at the docks. We’d explore and pretend we were sailors or captains for the night. Once we hopped on Johnny Dep’s super yacht while he was out at dinner. We actually managed to hang out for a hot minute before security finally kicked us off.
Finally see an AskReddit that pertains specifically to me and it’s already 2.5k comments deep 🤦🏼♂️ The company I work for had a contract with the company he worked for so he would drive me to the office once every 6 months for like 3 years.- She hired the company to driver her to New York. The catch was she wanted to detour through Knoxville so she could stop at every single Cracker Barrel along the route. She chose the route with the most Cracker Barrels. To quote him"Its Cracker Barrel they are all the same. She wanted to stop at Every...single...
So the guy finally gets the bag away from her and dumps it on the table in the back and is about to rail a line when the pops the sunroof on the freeway. The wind blows the around the inside of the limo like a tornado. At this point in the story, the driver is cracking up and says"The was frantic and tried to snort the dust out of the carpet. Ah hahaha". I am cracking up he is cracking up. I thought he was going to crash just telling me the story.
He goes to a phone outside his neighborhood and calls the agent. The agent asks him about every stop and every person the lady he drove stopped or met. They get descriptions and then let him go.This could have all been b******t but I loved seeing that guy because for a couple of hours a year we would sit in a car and shoot the s**t and have a great time.
2. Was driving a well known person from a fashion show to her hotel to stay the night before the flight on the next morning. As a prestige driver, the less you speak the better, until this mid-aged lady asked him where were the bars open at night. Cordially, my brother explained that it was around 2 kms away from her hotel, to what she replies that she wants him to take her there. Until then, all good.
2. I picked up a couple girls from A Chi O and they spent the entire ride talking about how it was ridiculous that one of the girls' parents planned on making her pay for her own apartment after graduation and there was nothing even livable under $2K a month. The school is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
