About

Where TF My Uber Driver Taking Me refers to a series of image macros in which the backseat passenger in a car observes strange, absurd and/or impossible sights through the windshield. The meme almost always includes the caption "where tf my uber driver taking me" as if a rideshare brought them to this location.
