On one of my Uber rides here in Canada, the driver spent the entire ride listening on loudspeaker to a woman going about her day. She was doing the dishes, coughing, breathing, humming a tune, walking. She was clearly alone. I have no idea if she knew that he was spying on her.
I was transporting my mother from her first immunotherapy round (hence the Uber) and didn’t want any aggravation but we were both very creeped out.
Who can guess what the driver’s name was and why it wasn’t either Jack or Jacques?
Hang in there Kid, remember le franglais, Frappe la rue, Jacques ;-D

Every Uber driver is Abdul-something. Abdulrahman, Abdulsahid, Abdulhakim. It’s getting so you’ll be lucky to find a Jacques anywhere.

HIAS and UNHCR have a lot to answer for, absolutely.

Well, the West killed each other over religious differences for more than two centuries. But the Muslims have been killing each other, as well as ourselves, for more than 17 centuries, so perhaps, just perhaps, it would be completely assinine to bring members of their religious arguments into the West ;-D

You mean 14 centuries.
