Gabrielle Union let her Uber driver use her washroom—and instantly regretted it

It’s rather common for your Uber driver to ask for a 5-star rating as they drop you off at your destination, but have you ever had them ask to use your bathroom? Well, Gabrielle Union can officially add that to her ‘weird Uber’ experience catalogue, just in time to ring in the new decade, no less. The actress, singer, and author took to Twitter yesterday to share that, despite trying to be responsible by using Uber on her NYE trip home, she had a rather regretful exchange with her driver. And by regretful exchange, we mean he asked to use her bathroom and, well… let’s just say he got pretty comfortable, in there. A little too comfortable.

Trying to be responsible & use UBER & our driver asked to use our bathroom 15-20 min later Dude dropped a deuce. Im pleased we clearly have a home & available reading material that screams "Come in, get comfortable and drop the kids off at the pool" Welcome to 2020 folks ?

She ended the tweet with ‘Welcome to 2020, folks’ and her (admittedly hilarious) story got us thinking, have any other stars had some awkward Uber rides? After all, we all have a rideshare story (or three) in our arsenal by now, so surely celebrities might have some, too.A quick search tells us that, yes, they definitely have.Back in 2015, Frozen star Kristen Bell made a mistake that most of us are far too familiar with—she selected Uber Pool, by accident. Uber Pool is the more cost-effective option where you split a cab ride with total strangers. The best part? She live-tweeted the whole experience.

Didn't know @uber had a carpool option, but my driver just pulled over and said "gotta pick someone else up". this should be fun.

I mean really, can you imagine hopping into your Uber and sliding in next to Kristen Bell? The Kristen Bell? We would give that trip a 5-star rating for sure, but, according to her tweets, her experience wasn’t all that enjoyable.

noone is talking. this silence is the only thing more awkward than if all of us were talking. #ubercarpool

Although her backseat companions were seemingly ‘mute’ to start, things took a sudden shift when one of them broke out in song.

Breaking News: one of them is singing. "take my hand, well make it swear. uhhhUUHH! livin on a prayer!" #ubercarpool

While we’re all for funny Uber stories to share with friends (or Twitter) later on, let’s hope that 2020 is a stink-free zone for celebs and regular folks alike.
