Uber or Lyft drivers tell Business Insider that perhaps the best parts about their jobs are the flexibility to make their own hours and be their own boss.
Beyond that, some drivers also report that a unique perk is the ability to meet interesting people from all walks of life.
As one Lyft and Uber driver tells Business Insider, "You gain knowledge and give knowledge with every ride. Everyone you encounter in life is a teacher."
Of course, driving around a wide array of passengers also opens you up to some fairly strange behavior.
Here are some of the weirdest work conditions Uber and Lyft drivers tell Business Insider they've been subjected to:

Teens
"Driving minors is against Uber policy, so if someone clearly is not 18 I refuse to drive them. But some high school students are 18 and hail rides. One trip I had an unfiltered teenage girl talking about her 12-year-old friend's sexual exploits on the phone. Needless to say it was uncomfortable."

The thrill of the hunt
"Women play a scavenger hunt game when they visit Las Vegas and a lot of them have kiss an Uber driver as an item on the list. So I've been kissed by a few random woman — don't tell my wife."

Very specific music requests
