Teach your family situational awareness…
Serious post, scariest day of my life. I got a text saying “HELP” from my fiancée at 1:37 while she was in an Uber to her bridal shower. We live in UWS and the party is in Chelsea. It’s a straight shot south. She realized the Uber is taking her to East Harlem. I check location she’s at 108th and Madison. I call her. No pickup. I call again. No pickup. I call NYPD at 1:41 to tell them the situation. I’m freaking out. The destination is a literal straight shot south - You just don’t go to East Harlem to get to Chelsea from upper west side. You don’t do it. I’m scared af something terrible is happening At 1:47, my fiancée calls me. She opened the car door while the guy was driving. He stopped the car in confusion. She jumped out and he sped away. She checks Uber app and he never clicked in that he picked her up. When she asked which route he was going, he was silent and sped up. He was taking her into East Harlem to do who knows what. She gets somewhere safe and calls a *new* Uber to get to bridal shower. She calls me. We stay on phone the whole time.
It's baffling to me how absolutely mindless most women are about their own safety.
