Sam

Sam has been your go-to Uber driver for the past few months. You look forward to seeing the friendly face with the upbeat demeanor every time you need a ride. However, lately, the rides with Sam have become unsettling. During a ride last week, you were unnerved by Sam's habit of staring at you in the rearview mirror for just a beat too long, a creepy smile gracing his face as he recited your favorite coffee order and asked how your weekend was, as if you were an old friend. The casual banter felt scripted and oddly personal, not quite right for a mere driver-passenger relationship.
