A man breathing heavily, is severely overweight, and barely making his way up the sidewalk. He's coming from the parking deck. When he gets to the front gate, he leans up against a column holding his cane and asks, "Can you please call me a cab?"
The attendant says, "Sure, we'll call you a cab." The gate attendant reaches for his phone to look up taxi cab companies. When he does, he finds the first company doesn't even answer their phone, and neither did the second one. Then, his phone started acting goofy. So, he told the man leaning on the brick column to hold on. He'd be right back.
He made his way to the box office where there were two attendants. One of them was free and looked up immediately as he approached with phone in hand saying, "My phone is acting up and there is a man down here needing a taxi cab. Can you help me out?"
The attendant willingly complies and proceeds to search for taxi cabs. In the meanwhile, the gate keeper whose name is Will waits for the results. The box office attendant picks up the phone and dials a number, only to hang up after a few seconds. Will asked, "Did anybody answer? Because I tried a couple and nobody answered. Maybe we should just Uber it?"
Ranna, the girl in the booth responded with, "Well, you have to attach a credit card number to your Uber account. So, it would need to be his, not yours".
"Ohh", Will understood out loud...
"Can we just call Uber", he wondered...
"No. You can't call Uber", Ranna said.
"That seems like a business problem, doesn't it", he asked.
"Yeah, it seems like one to me too", she confirmed in agreement.
Ranna continued to dial for cabbies, and continued to get no answers repeatedly. Will said, "I guess the taxi cab companies decided if Uber doesn't have to answer their phones, then neither do they!"
She laughed out loud, as she dialed one last cab company...
Finally, somebody answered the phone. Ranna said, "Yes. We need a cab sent to this address", and then she paused, but only for a second, and then she hung up the phone again. She looked up at Will as he was asking, "What did they say?".
Ranna, just looked at him before bursting into laughter, as she reported, "He said, just Uber it!"
At this point Will backs away also in laughter at the situation, but remembering he is attending to a guest. So, he makes his way back over to the man who is by this time sitting in a chair provided by another attendant in Will's absence, because it truly does take a village, you know...
He steps up in front of the tired traveler who must have gotten lost in the wrong parking deck, because after Will explained that they couldn't get anybody to answer the phone with the cab companies, he asked, "Where is it you're trying to go sir?"
The man replied with, "Just across the street to that parking deck over there"...
"Will looked across the street and then back at the man and said, "Why do you want to go over there, and you can't make it that far on foot, huh?"
"No, I can't make it, but that's where I parked", the man explained.
Finally, after processing the whole scene and the information, Will asks for the man's keys and says he'll go get the car for him. The man said, "My wife is over there sitting in it. It's in the corner, over there on the side by the entrance".
Will makes his way over, finds the car, and the man's wife... and proceeds to start the vehicle after not being able to find the slot for the key for several attempts until the man's wife has to put it in the key slot for him! Go figure, huh? Can't make this stuff up, you know.
Anywayz, it all ends well as the clunky Caddi rolled across the street and the man was able to lift himself up and make it to the car as Will held the door for him to get in. And, away they went never to be heard from again, so far... Kinda like a day time cabbie anymore.
Just Uber It!
