You know those people who ask you to pass them something even though they’re physically closer to it? The folks who ask you to go run some obscene errand purely because they can’t be bothered? The humans who will ask you to change the channel despite the remote literally being within arm’s reach?
As my nearest ‘n dearests will begrudgingly agree, I’m one of those people. I’m lazy. And as all lazy people have fantasised about at one stage or another, I’ve contemplated the prospect of giving long walks and cramped public transport commutes the flick in exchange for greener, Uber-er pastures. Oh, and I highly doubt this idea is one solely shared by the unnecessary-movement-hating mob – surely your mind would’ve thrown you this glorious curveball thought at some stage or another too?
As you might have seen, the Sam-named segment of the Australian population is having this dream become reality next week with Uber gifting them free rides (up to the value of $20) from August 21-27. Legit.
So, if your name starts with Sam (e.g. Samantha, Samuel, Samara), here’s how you can claim your free rides:
- Be 18+
- Head to uber.com/asksam
- Register for UberSAM before Friday (August 18) at midnight
- Achieve eternal happiness
- Come along to the massive UberSAM party we’re throwin’
Yes, to celebrate this momentous occasion we’re throwing a big ol’ blowout next Friday (August 25) where Sams in NSW will be able to bring along three friends and share in their collective awesomeness. You’ll automatically score an invite to the event (although places are limited) when you register for UberSAM. Further deets on this to come, y’all. Keep an eye out.
Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about the rest of you non-Sams. How can you get in on this Uberific situation? By tracking down a Sam and becoming real damn tight with them real damn fast. You can do this by:
- Calling your mate Sam. Everyone knows a Sam.
- Making an emotionally-driven video on YouTube requesting the Sams of Australia to come to your aid.
The options are pretty much endless.
