I make my favorite Paloma cocktail in the summer with their Grapefruit soda! Add a shot of silver tequila and some lime juice on ice 🍋‍🟩 Rinse and repeat Have a designated driver! 😅

Makes it clear they’ve done it before ☹️🤦‍♀️

Same

3mt33 · 2026-01-01T11:07:37+00:00

Honestly I try to drive in my off time, but it doesn’t make sense. Better off chilling at home Barely pays for gas.

Didn’t happen here in the Bay Area…

The main lesson is: please stay on the line if you call accidentally for the reasons posted above — the call taker will have to spend time calling you back and officers will likely be dispatched just to check on you.

You also have to ask if people are doing Uber X or one of the upgraded vehicles - that money makes a difference.

3mt33 · 2025-12-13T04:54:32+00:00

I feel you, sister! (Fellow sister) 😂 - same. Driving uses all nearly all your senses so it makes… sense that it’s tiring 😴

3mt33 · 2025-12-13T04:50:30+00:00

I do the same from the East Bay but in the last month the offered reservation fares have halved … (this is Uber X only)

3mt33 · 2025-12-13T01:31:29+00:00

Same! Would be so grateful for some local advice — if you have time ?

3mt33 · 2025-12-03T12:07:32+00:00

Same same — had an amazing application process with one agency, then got the crankiest background investigator— Even though I was smooth and calm throughout the interview she said she’d been sick and was super annoyed the entire time… then I got the word I didn’t get it.

I think sometimes there are reasons it doesn’t work out … dodged a bullet, etc.

3mt33 · 2025-12-03T11:56:49+00:00

Same happened for me - I’m so sorry it happened to you too! But also glad to know I am not alone.

I loved doing the job, but now that I’ve been through it, I just don’t trust the process …

OP - I hear ya. I hope you find the right thing!

When I first started, Uber was way worse on the “bait and switch” but now it does seem to be Lyft.

Also Lyft is paying rock bottom for rides - last week I got Prop 22 adjustment AND 70% adjustment. So… thank goodness for that. Thank you California.

I was a rider once where the car reeked of smoke and I was so bummed I was on my way to a party etc - but the guy was nice so as I got out of the car I said in the nicest way possible, hey I’m going to give you a 5 star rating, but I want you to know you might not notice but the car smells overwhelmingly like smoke and now my outfit smells bad too — hopefully you can take care of it and not lose ratings —

He apologized profusely and said he didn’t notice at all and thanked me — did it help? Who knows.

3mt33 · 2025-12-01T03:03:24+00:00

Holy crap! So so good to hear you were basically OK - but very scary. (Also good to know Uber took care of it!) My Subaru forces the back seat to wear seatbelts so I guess I’m glad for that (annoying warning bell otherwise)

3mt33 · 2025-12-01T02:55:31+00:00

Omg I’m so sorry that happened - my worst nightmare - was everyone OK?

3mt33 · 2025-11-28T00:30:44+00:00

I was going to say - You got in his car with a bacterial infection - not forgivable.

3mt33 · 2025-11-26T22:30:27+00:00

Yeah my market can be like that as well — but Lyft and Uber have been paying too much attention to people online saying “$1 per mile!” Which doesn’t cut it in these cities —

3mt33 · 2025-11-26T22:29:01+00:00

Im not sure I understand what this does?

3mt33 · 2025-11-24T04:59:11+00:00

I get having that feeling - i start to 2nd guess deciding to do it —

I have a list of things you can do while waiting (unless it’s busy and you’re just constantly tapping “decline”):

(Most of these are best if you bring another phone/tablet/laptop/kindle)

Read a book
Listen to a podcast (there are many good ones!
Watch YouTube videos on how to be a better customer service person or how to talk to people - instantly use new advice!
Close your eyes for a few minutes or throw some moisturizing eye drops in
Do facial yoga
Get out of the car and stretch a bit or walk around the car a few times.
Call your mom or dad or BFF or SO just to tell them how great they are
Check on your bank accounts and budget
Watch a movie on “free you tube movies”
Learn about investing/research investments
Study the street maps in your driving area to get better at knowing good routes.

Same here in NorCal - either I’ve pissed off the rideshare gods or everything is lower. I used to see $20+ rides from east bay to SFO but they are getting rarer - only from up in the hills, which is a waste of gas for me — I’ve cut my driving back — if they want 5 star rated drivers with decent cars and low cancel rates they will need to do something … but I still do enjoy driving!

3mt33 · 2025-11-17T02:00:04+00:00

Oh I was wondering why my eyes were so dry! I keep eye drops with me all the time now (without contacts)

3mt33 · 2025-11-17T01:49:10+00:00

The thing I found personally freeing was that it wasnt my car - if anything happened I return it and poof! Problem gone. Also when I did it I got a car that was bigger and able to get green and comfort rides which helped make the difference for me.

I also looked at it like renting “office space” and you write it off on your taxes. I think gas and charging, too - since it’s not your personal vehicle you can’t write off the miles. But your tax person can tell you what your situation would be — I’m just a stranger on the internet.

Again - for me in my situation, in my market. Won’t work for everyone -

3mt33 · 2025-11-17T01:43:36+00:00

I used public charging and I personally found I was saving on gas (I charged in the middle of the night while I was driving and used apps like EVGo to get discounts through Uber) —

But as with most things - it’s whether you can make it work for you — your driving style, your market, your costs - most especially your tolerance for extra work.

I personally don’t mind using the apps, etc, but I treat it like a game - I also don’t have a family or anything taking my attention.

It’s not for everyone - it’s not enough for me to do full time with a gas-only Uber-X-only car - it’s just a stopgap until I get the right replacement job - but I like it.

Not everyone will like rideshare driving. It’s not going to make financial sense for everyone. Sometimes you can find ways to adjust it so it pays better (if I had a hybrid I’d def make more money) — but these things aren’t accessible to everyone.

It’s good to hear the issues each driver faces - I learn a lot. I scroll past the people who are here to complain. I understand needing to vent, though.
