me: I just need to finish listening to this thing before I get to my drop-off uber driver: ah, that reminds me of a time I had things to do that required minimal distraction, here is a 45-minute retelling

This may be a gender difference, in reporting or in substance, or it may be an EY-vs-humans difference; but I’ve yet to find an Uber driver who didn’t listen when I said “Sorry, I’d rather not talk right now.” And everyone I’ve heard report difficulty has been female.

I wonder what the mix is between “Victim does not ask as plainly and directly for silence” vs “Driver does not listen to woman” vs “Average man equally bothered but doesn’t report, EY is unusually direct.”

It was one of the first things I said in the car, but he clearly wanted to talk, so I chatted for a while. When there was a lull I said it again, and he ignored me again, and then finally I said it one last time and put my earbuds in. He continued to talk for several minutes.

It was genuine Grade A Mason Torture to hear, outside my earbuds, the muffled tone shifts indicative of someone asking me a question, and then ANOTHER question, but I was just about ready to literally get out of the car at the next traffic light

I do anticipate a likely population-level gender diff & certainly a Mason v. broader pop diff, which causes people like myself to appear capable of 0-60 murder shifts when really, we have just been telling you, in a cheerful tone, with a smile, that you are about to meet yout end
