Purpose
Gale uploaded the story and the purpose of that was to educate men. He stated, “ladies, if you have the Uber or Lyft app, and you need an exit strategy, use the messaging system within the app. You can make special requests that could possibly save your life.”
Accepting “No”
He added, “this should never have had to happen. Men, learn to accept the word “no” as a response. Learn to take responsibility for your actions,”. As a father, he warned men that “our sons are watching you and they’re learning how to treat the women in their lives by example. Lead by a better one.”
Uber Hero
Gale’s messenger was flooded with texts from his friends. He was being praised for his actions. He shared, “I’ve had to pretend to be someone’s boyfriend or brother when we were all out at a bar before, but never as an Uber driver.” He added, “it’s never too late to be an Uber hero!”
Being More Human
In an interview with Bored Panda, he said, “I wasn’t really prepared for the attention that this would bring, but I’m trying to “go with the flow,” for the most part. I think the overall message was clear: more people need to know that there are more ‘escape routes’ out there than most people know and I feel like we can do better.”
Angel In Disguise
People were so proud of him for helping someone in a hard time. The lady must be lucky that her request was sent to a man like Brandon. He was an angel in disguise by all means for the lady. The humanity that he served was really appreciable and he himself stood out as an example.
