A Close Call
A Close Call
So last Friday, me and my Filipina gf decided to go to her friends house (a filipino family of 3) to have a few beers and some Pinoy food. Around 9 pm and a little tipsy we decided to go home so called a Uber. He shows up 10 minutes later (says he had trouble finding the place) and off we go. To get to our place takes about 10 minutes. So as we get past the National Stadium, 4 motos approach us- 2 on the right and 2 on the left. I knew something was up immediately as they slowed down and made no effort to pass our slow-moving Uber. So I point at one of the guys on the right as a way of letting him know that I'm on to his game and then pull out my phone and pretend like I'm dialing someone. At this point, the 2 motos on the right go behind the Uber and then to the left of us with their 2 other buddies and they sped away. Was this a set up by the Uber driver as he seemed so calm the whole time? And does this kind of shit happen a lot here? If so, this place is fucked up as it was only 9 pm and we were going home by Uber. What do you guys think? And past experiences from you guys?

I usually get my girlfriend to pick me up on her "moto" and never have a problem!

Re: A Close Call
I don't see any real reason to think the Uber driver was involved. He stayed calm. Good for him. I also don't think getting on the phone would be enough to call off a crime ring consisting of 4 motos and a car.
Who else knew your whereabouts.....? Maybe it was some Filipino friends chasing you down to say you were about to miss a round of blackjack...

Re: A Close Call
No cars involved, General, and it was actually pretty scary and I don't scare easily. The phone was a heat of the moment thing- seemed like the only thing to do. What would YOU have done?General Mackevili wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 6:09 pm I don't see any real reason to think the Uber driver was involved. He stayed calm. Good for him.

Re: A Close Call
i always buy my hats in Manila and tell them straight out.
if they ask about my shoes i say i won them in a card game in Manila.
if JW or other christians come to the door i tell them i am a Jew. or a Catholic, they don't bother with abominations.
i have an answer for almost everything due to chronic anxiety
ppl to be wary of in KOW:
nigerians
ghanaians
kenyans
filipinos
girls named Sreymom, Ana, Ada, Neang, Sreyleak. there are some others but these are tops.

Re: A Close Call
One of those little tuk-tuk thingies you call to pick you up. I thought Uber used tuk-tuks here as well as cars. If not then my bad.Username Taken wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 6:31 pmSo, the Uber wasn't a car?
