my travel in the last 5 years has gotten so predictable I think i've lost some muscle memory around orientation behaviors in new places... after some years of increasing convenience thanks to uber etc. being good, it's gotten much worse now and ubers etc are increasingly messy adversarial games with drivers

Past two Ubers I’ve ordered they obviously were still completing a Lyft ride when they accepted it, so they went from 1 mi away to 9 mi away. I cancelled and rebooked, same exact guy same issue.
