I Drove For 24 Hours In A Taxi And Lost My Mind - Summary

Summary

A group of friends embarked on a 24-hour challenge where they had to stay inside a black cab in London, driven by Rachel. They had seven tasks to complete, including drawing a penis on Google Maps using their route, filling a 2-liter bottle with urine, taking photos of landmarks, and picking up a stranger. Along the way, they encountered various obstacles, including a growing taxi fare, which reached £543. They also had to deal with bodily functions, such as urinating in a bottle and sleeping in uncomfortable positions. After nearly completing the 24-hour challenge, they decided to end it early and go for breakfast at McDonald's, where they ordered an excessive amount of food and drinks.
