It'll be a cold day in hell when I jump in the car of a complete stranger to get a lift home, regardless of where I'm coming from. I've got too many friends to put myself in that type of risky situation.
I've got a few acquaintances who swear by Uber's service, but there's just something about potentially waking up the next day shackled to a brick wall in someone's basement that doesn't give me the warm fuzzies.
