A few years back I suffered from a strange vertigo health issue which showed up out the blue and caused me to feel dizzy. Around that time, I had to travel to North Carolina for a business trip that I could not miss. My wife said that she wanted to accompany me on the trip, along with my daughter. They were both concerned about me.
On our hour-long Uber ride to the airport, vertigo struck. As I sat in the front of the car, I couldn't help myself, vertigo came on in a rush and I threw up all over his seat. I was so embarrassed.
Quietly, I asked the Uber driver to pull over so that I could deal with the mess I created. After some clean-up and freshwater, my wife asked me if we should cancel the trip and head back home. I told her that I felt OK and asked to go to the airport.
The Uber driver got us to the airport safely and in plenty of time. He even helped us load the luggage into a cart. When he was about to depart, I told him I was sorry for what happened and I thanked him for his understanding and kindness. With a gentle smile he said "no worries, my friend. you take care."
The Uber driver never showed a tinge of disappointment or anger toward me. Thankfully, the rest of the trip was uneventful and we returned home safely.
My wife and I were recollecting the kindness of the Uber driver and were so glad that we could give him a generous tip. May his tribe grow.
