On Thursday, actress Kristen Bell accidentally ordered an UberPool — a carpooling option on the Uber app — when she actually intended to order a private car.
She live-tweeted the resulting experience to her 1.79 million followers.
Didn't know @uber had a carpool option, but my driver just pulled over and said "gotta pick someone else up". this should be fun.

come to think of it, i did press "pool" but i thought it was a fun summer reference. like how @google changes fonts to celebrate holidays.
