There are two types of Uber riders: those who prefer to ride in complete silence and those who make random conversation to keep the ride from being awkward. Nine times out of 10, you can't avoid a chatty driver, so it's better to bite the bullet and prepare the typical conversation that will ensue during your trip. I've done my own personal research and reached out to friends who are drivers to compile a list of the top 32 frequently asked questions.
