Exactly. I’ve “seen some things” but this was a new one.
He arrived to pick me up. She was in the front passenger seat and maybe a little out of it but that’s not exactly unusual…
A few minutes later, she was completely slumped over and taking gasping breaths. When I asked the driver if she was ok he said “She’s homeless and needs to get in to recovery but I’m taking care of her”. I can only assume (given the fairly rapid onset) he/she/them consumed drugs shortly before picking me up.
Needless to say, he wasn’t. After calling 911 I messaged the Lyft support team and provided pictures, etc of what (unfortunately) looks like a dead person. They followed the script and may or may not have done anything.
Meanwhile, the authorities took it very seriously (as I described) and likely saved her life.
