“There were three empty seats in the back but he just went straight to sitting shotgun with no hesitation,” explained Uber driver Travis O’Sullivan, who was visibly rattled by the experience. “I looked around to see if there were any other passengers but it was just him. It totally caught me off guard.”

“As soon as I started driving, he began adjusting the radio and air conditioning system,” continued O’Sullivan, who went on to describe the rider’s further attempts to get inside his psyche. “Total power move right there. Before I could even react, he reclined his chair and started giving me directions from his own phone.”

At press time, the passenger offered O’Sullivan a mint.
