About

Following the San Francisco Giants' victory in the 2014 World Series, there were riots in the streets of San Francisco – the final game itself was actually played out in Kansas City, at the Kauffman Stadium.

During a pushback by San Francisco riot police, a woman walked up toward the officers and yelled 'My Uber is down there!'. Which, it's undetermined if this was meant to be sarcasm towards the police and to humor the surrounding citizens, or if the woman was genuinely expressing her discontent in knowing she's missing her Uber and is likely to be stuck on the streets with no ride home until the crowds calm down.

For those unfamiliar, Uber is an on-demand private taxi service mobile app, which connects drivers to customers, wherever they are, usually in just a few minutes. Uber is just one of the many dominant tech startups to hit the streets (in their case, literally) of San Francisco, and other cities around the globe.

'My Uber is down there!' initial news spread across outlets such as Gawker and TheBlemish. The phrase has since spread to sites like PandaWhale, Facebook, Twitter, and various meme generators. It's still in it's infancy.
