  Blow and go:

  The driver has had at least 1 DUI and has to essentially have a mobile breathalyzer to be able to drive. Kinda surprised Uber allows this, but I’m sure their pool of workers in some areas is limited so they have to.

  There's thing called the internet. You can highlight a piece of text, such as "blow-n-go", and search to find the meaning. I just did it for that express purpose. Highly recommended.
  
  There are so many ways to bypass an ignition interlock device, that I would never get into a rideshare that had one. What if the original infractions was not even alcohol, but weed or something else?

  ^ there’s more than one result for “blow-n-go” so if you want context it’s best to ask what the OP meant using a fairly ambiguous phrase.

  I drive myself because that way I cand rest assured the driver has been drinking beer and smoking weed.

  “There are so many ways to bypass an ignition interlock device, that I would never get into a rideshare that had one. What if the original infractions was not even alcohol, but weed or something else?”
  
  When I first got in I didn’t even notice. Night time, at a stop light he had to blow in it - I was like “oh f%#!.” Luckily he was dropping me off about 200 yards down the road.
  
  I could write a book. “Stories on the road,” nobody would read it, but at least there’s be some good stories in it.

  I thought this was a Billy Joel story.
  
  Anyway, my story, such as it is: Booked a Lyft to take me to the strip club, female driver expressed interest, I talked her into coming inside, we both spent a few hours there doing our own thing, she drove me home. Guess I'll have to embellish if I send it to the Forum.

  I have only very seldom Uber or Lyft. Blow-n-go is a new concept for me. If my Uber or Lyft arrived with a blow-n-go I'd refuse to get in. I don't know how the app works, if that would cost me points or whatever, I'd report to the company. That's absolutely not something I'd find trustworthy for hiring someone to do driving. I mean, if the bartender at my local pub had a blow-n-go I'd still allow him to pull a pint for me, and if the mechanic changing my tires had a blow-n-go I'd still hire him to change my tires, and I'd be appreciative of a stripper who said she had a blow-n-go because that would be an easy conversation starter about other blows-n-gos. But a driver arriving to do driving with a device that indicates that a court has judged that he has been an irresponsibly dangerous driver about alcohol? No thanks.

  Blow-n-go is when a stripper asks me for a ride home after work. She's gotta blow me while I'm driving. The faster she goes, the faster the car goes. If she slows down or stops, it's gonna take a really long time for her to get home.

  Not an Uber or Lyft but a New York taxi. Late ass night at work, coworker and I were taking a cab (we lived 5 minutes apart). Coworker tells me about the New York Athletic Club as a great place to meet people. We arrive at his place, he gets out.
  
  The minute he gets out, the cab driver starts on this manic rant about "you should go there, it's for all the sluts you're going to meet there! Yes, women like that make like worth living. You know I like to take a Viagra and just hammer them, you know, only like 10-15 minutes or it dries them out..."
  I'm just going "yeah," "uh huh," "cool," while thinking "Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick, it's midnight and I've gotta be back at work in 6 hours, and I'm subjected to this shit."
  
  Experiences like that and it's no surprise why Uber/Lyft are just destroying these dirty ass taxis that smell like ass crack sweat after squats day at the gym.

  ^ yeah the majority of my Uber trips are uneventful. I’m only had 3 bad experiences that I can recall and who knows how many Uber trips I’ve taken… a lot.
  
  I still take cabs occasionally, and they usually suck, no matter where I am.

  WRT blow and go, I thought OP was talking about Diamond Dolls Pompano, or some other wham bam extras factory. As in he takes an Uber to the club and has him wait outside for the 3 minutes it takes to get a blow and go.

  You’re being generous at 3 minutes with these PLs (myself included).

  Uber and Lyft is expensive. Only when I have to. It’s like $40 to get across town, fuck all that.

  I feel just the opposite if an Uber had a blow and go. That’s more protection against a drunk driver than you’d ever get.
