25 Secrets Overheard by Taxi Drivers

The back of a taxicab, much like a confessional, is sacred. It feels like a liminal space where you can do or say anything without repercussions — maybe because you assume the driver isn’t listening.

The drivers of Reddit have put it in park and recalled the wildest things they’ve heard from behind the partition, and honestly, the divorce lawyers colluding with each other is the least surprising story.

HeberMonteiro Зу ago I've worked for Uber and once a passenger, a clearly intoxicated lady, told me she should have married her brother- in-law, cause her husband had a tiny dick and was much less handsome, but because the husband was also far richer, she married him.
