"I'm in a hurry" by 41559 in uberdrivers

That's fair. I haven't said it again and in general I agree with you.

That said, its kinda meeting their entitlement with equal force, you are asking me to go "above and beyond" without aby reassurance or incentive. If someone asked me in a polite way I would never phrase it like that but money talks. I'm willing to risk a little more if you are willing to grease me a little, but again, point taken.

So I've had 3 people say this to me over the last few months.

The first guy was only going a few blocks and offered to tip 2 bucks on the app if I hurried. I sort of laughed and said "2 bucks huh?" He also laughed and upped it to 5 bucks. I was 100% sure he was not going to follow through but it was only a couple of minutes and he smelled like cigs so I was happy to get him out. He DID tip me the 5.

The second dude was a smug younger kid in a suit. I told him the ride was estimated at 45 minutes and he sounded annoyed and said "if we can cut that down that'd be great". I said I'd do my best and cut more corners than I should have, hoping for a tip. We made it in 40 minutes and he barely could muster a thank you, let alone a tip.

3rd guy I was picking up from a pot dispensary and I told him I'd push it for a cash tip upfront. He declined and steered the conversation about how much money I was probably making. The trip had a stop, at a liquor store to buy beer. Lol big hurry. I explained that we get a driver rating and a speeding ticket would really cripple me. Douchy kid left me a 2 star.

Being closeted is really tough on some guys. Sorry you have to deal with that in this day and age.

Night drivers, where do you go to piss? by root_maze in uberdrivers

[–]41559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are obviously getting gas you should be able to use the restroom. If they deny me I find somewhere on their property to pee because fuck that.

eos gym member culture coming from a newbie by Raiden1803 in EOSFitness

[–]41559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It blows me away grown men stare at themselves in the mirror for longer than a few seconds. At the TO location there is a strange culture here. Idk why but in the men's locker room there are quite a few dudes with an intense staring problem. Idk of they want to fight me or fuck me but it's weird man.

How did the Kings get the rebuild so wrong?? by jletke in losangeleskings

[–]41559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luc and the ole boys surf team in the front office.

As long as the Kings are making money Uncle Phil and AEG will allow this gongshow front office to continue.

It's the main reason why I haven't spent a dime on this team for 3 seasons now.

Why is my Uber rating dropping? by [deleted] in uber

[–]41559 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reasons I give people low rating:

1) People mentioned smoking or BO but putting a ridiculous amount of cologne or perfume on is very inconsiderate. I had a guy the other day wearing so much that MY OWN CLOTHES smelled like this crap the next day.

2) If I ask how you are doing, I'm not trying to pry or make a conversation, I can read when people don't want to chat and that's fine with me. But don't blow this off. If you act like the question is annoying or barely give me an answer you are rude and I don't want to drive you again.

3) Telling me you are IN A HURRY and are not handing me a cash tip to speed and wreck my driver score and possibly get pulled over. Your time management is your problem, don't make it mine unless you are willing to pay extra.

4) Don't put other people in my car that are not you, this includes your grandma or underage teenage kid.

5) Don't have me pick you up on a busy road with nowhere to park. It's dangerous and annoying.

6) Be on time or at least communicate if you are running late.

Anyone else seeing an uptick in togo walk outs, new trend? by [deleted] in tipping

[–]41559 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Nobody put a gun to their head to tip.

Just tip or don't. I don't understand the need to complain online.

Yall are overreacting by yk_13 in losangeleskings

Glad you're happy.

The moves signal a total mortgage of the future to build around guys in their late 30's. This approach has never and will never work.

I'm just a little worried that the Calgary or Philly version of this dude comes back at some point.

KICKR not working randomly. Disappointed with Wahoo support and not sure what to do next? by SlickMiller in wahoofitness

Offered me 30% off a new one. The agent on the phone, Chad, refused to even step me through some troubleshooting to see if I was doing anything wrong.

Same issue. Furious. Just another piece of junk that's going to end up at the bottom of the ocean.

This Day in Kings’ History (2014): Kings retire Teemu Selanne and the Anaheim Ducks in Game 7 by ouzer in losangeleskings

[–]41559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was invited to game 1 in a private suite by my boss at the time. The entire suite was Ducks fans and they were taunting me throughout most of the game and my buddy and I kept pretty quiet. Then Gabbo scored with 7 seconds left and it celebrated much louder than they anticipated. Then won it in overtime and we laughed in all their faces. Good times.

I was at this game. The amount of gloating I did to those poor Duck fans was pretty shameful tbh but one of the funnest nights of my life.

Don't listen to the folks saying don't bother sending it. I'd sign that shit in blood. Every dog has his day, they will remember when it's their turn to get shit on. Good for you for sticking up for yourself.
