I&#x27;m a new Uber user, and I&#x27;ve never had anything but praise for it.<p>Sat night however, out late in the city, need to drop my friend home and then back on to my house. I live in the suburbs so it&#x27;s a long cab ride.  I&#x27;ve had a few drinks and fumble my way past the surge pricing notification on Uber.<p>Next morning, check the email from Uber to see how much it cost to get home.  I was expecting it to be quite alot - maybe $100.<p>$200 to get home on a Saturday night - ouch - I could have flown to a different city for a night out for that.<p>I don&#x27;t blame Uber - they gave a super clear warning to me.  However my pure joy honeymoon with Uber is over.
