There's a good reason why plenty of users have sworn off riding Uber Pool — the people.

If you've ever needed a quick cab on a budget, you know how clutch Uber Pool can be. But pooling in a packed car with thrifty strangers can lead to some pretty unique circumstances and memorable stories. Whether it's the driver or the passengers, someone (or everyone) is bound to make your next Uber Pool ride unforgettable.
