I can only imagine this is the tip of the iceberg dealing with millennials, their apps, and self entitlement. This guy is pissed and I don’t blame him. NSFW due to language.

I could never make it as a ride share driver. First person to slam the doors of my Ram, I would twist off and drag their ass out of the truck. If someone puked in my truck, I'd take them out 50-60 miles from town and "tuck n roll baby"

I know I shouldn't care about material items like I do, but I don't work 50-60 hours a week so I can let someone tear my shit up.

I would rather pick up cans and bottles on the side of the road than drive Uber,Lyft or anything like that.

And also a big NO to those rent your car out deals.

NOPE! and dbl nope!! I could not put up with people like that. I would have got out and drug her ass to the sidewalk and leave.

Jim

NO way do I need the money that bad.

She needs to be bent over the hood

I have a lady friend, very attractive, doing Uber. She's married and her husband is unable to work now due to health reasons. The stories she tells me are astounding.

People giving her a bad rating for not carrying their groceries in, or other packages, or wanting her to load things herself like Home Depot products while they stand around and watch, and fools trying to pick her up like a hooker, trashing her car, demanding bottled water, etc, and then no tipping.

Really? You expect your Uber driver to hand you a bottled water? Jerks.

People can be such jerks. My parents would come back from their graves and kick my ass if I behaved like that.

She was an entitled bitch, but the driver was an asshole. The cursing and leaving before the police arrived put him on the shit list for me.

He should have kept the high road.

Simple solution: Keep your doors locked until you confirm the identity of your passenger.

It's stupid shit like this that gives Uber and its drivers such a bad reputation.

Yeah, the girls were a little drunk but what do you expect? If you work late at night that is what you are going to get.

My best Uber drivers are ones that I get at 4:30 AM to go to the airport. Almost all of them say they will not work nights and deal with drunks.

That being said, that driver was an asshole. You don’t start calling women bitches and cunts because they missed the pickup.

Bad stuff all around on that ride.

Agreed. He started at a 9 when a three was called for at most. I'd think drunk entitled girls are part of his job. He should learn to deal with it or pick up different shifts.

I drive for Uber and Lyft once in a while. I don't really need the money, but my car has a four year unlimited miles warranty and I'm otherwise house-bound due to my job. I rarely have interaction with other people in person, which is usually just fine by me. But my driving for Uber and Lyft has been one of the most entertaining, story-filled endeavors of my life. In six months I may have had one a-hole rider. Most have been super nice, some very interesting, some absolutely stunning women, a bounty hunter, an F-35 mechanic, a porn star, a cop, and on and on. I don't normally drive at night to avoid the drunks. But I was pretty surprised to see how many people are day drinkers. Wow. Still, super nice people and I usually hate everyone. It's kind of restored my faith in humanity.

Well hey, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

Words to live by.

And I recently noticed that Uber rates passengers as well as drivers. So a driver who sees that a passenger has a real crappy rating, like only 3 stars, can choose (I think) not to accept that pickup. Seems like a good idea as it encourages passengers as well as the drivers to remain on good behavior. Mostly anyway.

I guess I watched a different video from the OP.
The driver is who I saw being a complete ass. Sure the girl was a bit silly and why she would ever want to stay in a vehicle with a big angry dude when all she has to do is get out and push the Uber button on her phone again.

Yeah that guy reacted at an 9 when only a two or a three was required. You drive at night I have to think you'd expect entitled drunk girls getting in your cab.

I don't think this is possible until afterwards. When you get a ride request, you have 15 seconds to accept or decline it. I have not noticed a rider's rating showing on the flashing screen when a request comes in, but there is no time to research the matter before accepting or declining. It also doesn't tell you exactly where they are or where they are going until after you have accepted the request. I met a driver a few months ago who, thinking he'd just grab one more quick ride before shutting down for the night, had to pick a guy up at the airport and drive him to Lake Havasu City, almost three hours away. The Uber and Lyft apps don't want you to be able to "discriminate," so they don't tell you where the rider wants to go until you have accepted the request. It really sucks to have to go to a super crowded Wal-Mart entrance to pick up some ghetto hag with her rug rats and shopping cart full of stuff she'll want to put in your trunk, then drive to her apt. complex across the street. Who would accept a request like that? But you do get stuck with them once in a while. That's why I try to start out in a nice area and not stay in the ghetto areas.

With Lyft, if you rate a driver with 3 or below, you effectively ban them from being eligible to drive you ever again. In addition, Lyft will contact you for more information about your rating in order to correct the driver's behavior. Passengers who get rated poorly by a driver get effectively banned from ever coming up on that driver's app when they request a ride. Consistently poor ratings get a person universally banned from ever getting rides from Lyft drivers.

I would assume Uber is the same way.

Just bought a newer car that is CPO. Part of the paperwork was a form that indicated that the warranty was void if the car was used for Uber\Lyft. To me miles are miles but it was a specific exclusion.
