Most Head Shakingly Bad Thing of the Week



Deputy Consul General Of Israel Allegedly Forced Out Of Uber Ride For Speaking Hebrew On Phone
CHICAGO (CBS) – The Deputy Consul General of Israel to the Midwest, Itay Milner, says he was ten minutes into his Uber ride on Lower Wacker Drive Thursday night when he was thrown out by the driver.

Milner wrote in a Facebook post, “I just had the worst experience of my life. I was just thrown out of an Uber in the middle of the highway only because I answered my phone in my mother tongue.”

He adds, “Ten minutes into my ride with no prior interaction between the driver and myself, it took only two words in Hebrew to get my driver [to] start yelling at me ‘Get the $#@* out of my car!'”

He continued: “It did not help when I told him that I can’t go out in the middle of the highway. It was like I wasn’t a person for him anymore. When I asked him if it’s because I’m speaking Hebrew he said yes and kept yelling at me to get out. I am not easily intimidated, but that scared me and I ran out of there, walking in the middle of the road.

“I never thought something like this could happen in America, such awful racism. This cannot be tolerated!”

"Lordy Lordy" TSB I guess you really aren't safe riding an Uber... and the "witch-hunt" seems to be unravelling fast!

I've never trusted Uber drivers. You have no idea who they are.

TSB: The last time this happened in Hawaii in 2011 with the same two volcanoes draining and a 7.0 earthquake it was 6 days until the "big one" hit at Fukashima. Will it happen again? There is a tremendous amount of pressure building under the Pacific plate and about 15 volcanoes erupting. I'll be watching for "Dutchsinse's weekly EQ forecast tonite. gwb

Funny this story didn't make the search engines! It has to be really frustrating when you are only worth a few hundred million.
