I was coming home from work and called an Uber. The driver pulls up and I get in but he starts driving in the opposite direction from my house. At first I thought maybe he was just taking a different route but after like 10 minutes I started getting really paranoid. I kept checking the app and it looked like we were going completely the wrong way. I started thinking about all those true crime podcasts I listen to and convinced myself this guy was trying to fucking kidnap me. I was texting my friends my location and everything and I was so close to calling the police, but I finally worked up the courage to ask him where we were going and he said he was just following the gps to the address I gave him. Turns out my dumbass self had put in my old address from like 2 years ago by mistake. I felt so stupid and awkward for the rest of the ride. The poor guy was probably wondering why his passenger looked terrified the whole time. I gave him 5 stars and a good tip but I still cringe thinking about it.

TL;DR: got an uber and thought that he’s kidnapping me
