I had to go pick up my bike from the shop in downtown Evanston. I walked to Lunt and Western and grabbed a Divvy bike. I planned to dock it at the Davis Street el stop. When I got there the whole rack was full. I added the free 15 minutes and checked the kiosk for the next closest rack. It said Sheridan and Chicago but noted that that rack was also full. It was pouring rain and I was getting pissed. I wasn't sure where another rack was. I knew there was one at Norris Center on the NU campus but I wasn't sure if that was the one they were calling Sheridan and Chicago and anyway it was far from where I was going.

I called the 800 help line. The first person I got was an Asian woman who hung up on me. I called back and got a dude with a Slavic accent. He tried taking me through his script but I wasn't having it. I said, "Look guy, just tell me where I can dock this fucking bike." I thought he might hang up too so I tried being nice but he couldn't tell me shit. I ended up riding to Norris Center and was able to dock the bike. Then I walked all the way back downtown in the rain.

Fuck Divvy.

Why not just Uber?

Might as well embrace the suck at that point

Buy a car.

JORR doesn't like taking the Mercedez out of the underground garage when it is raining.

I've gotten a Slavic guy on the Divvy line as well.

Anyway, yea I hate when the racks are full. They gotta somehow have more oversight on these. Like, have people that monitor which racks are full and empty and bring someone to balance em out.
