"Gee, I'm so excited to drive for Uber today! I don't need the extra money, I just love it!"

I've never taken an uber, but I've met many uber drivers, and I've actually heard this several times.

It's not like they are being forced to work, and many like the random interaction with people better than sitting at home.

I know one retired guy that drives for Uber on occasion. He sold his family business to his son and has more money than I wold know what to do with, but drives Uber just for fun.

Anyway, I have no real point, but these people exist.
