TIFU by taking an Uber to a gay sauna

I have had a horrible day at work and I thought I could treat myself to visiting a local gay sauna in my area, relax in the steam room, use the jacuzzi and if it comes to that, have a fair share of fun with other men.

Mindlessly, took the Uber app and just typed the name of the sauna as it was pouring rain outside and I didn't want to walk there. It's a 15 min drive.

I go out, meet the driver, he starts driving, and I hear the GPS screaming the name of the sauna with her automatic robot voice. The driver asks, 'oh, what is it?' to which I reply it's just a club. I thought, ambiguous enough. Then silence.

About 5 minutes in the ride the driver suddenly says "I don't think you should be going there, mate". Taken aback, I say 'excuse me?' and he literally says 'its not too late to repent for your sins and stop going to those places. It is a sin, you know?'

Could not believe it. I have never been this embarrassed in my life. I just let out a 'mmmm yeah...' and decide to stay silent. After a few more minutes he starts talking about his local church and how they welcome people from every background. He tells me about the social groups they run and how I can change things if I'm powerful enough and I've got the right support.

We arrive to the destination and I notice that instead of parking in front of the place he parks about 300m from it. I just left the car without saying a single word.

Of course I didn't repent and had a very nice time in the sauna, but honestly what an uncomfortable situation!!

TL;DR I took an Uber to a gay sauna and the driver went on a massive rant about my sins.

EDIT: I love Reddit so much. I have read every single comment and I have laughed and I have felt appreciated and validated. Thank you so much guys, you're an amazing community. I didn't tip the driver. I live in the UK and it's not common anyways. I have given them 1 star and, following your advise, have raised the concern with Uber. I will be awaiting their response. Again, thank you so much everyone!

Yikes. Did you report him? Or at least one-star him? Haha
