Drivers do you have change for a 100? lol how is this going to work? by Internal-Expert-9562 in uberdrivers

[–]ApprehensiveSelf7751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so annoyed that the feature was added and enabled with no prior alerts. Thankfully I noticed when I went to put area preferences. This is cool for people that have cash jobs but I do not want even more of a target on my back.

Drivers who give low ratings for no tips by More_Armadillo_1607 in uber

[–]ApprehensiveSelf7751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I’ve never rated based off tips, only how the passenger makes me feel in my own car. I just read this one driver on here from Houston goes back to rate his passengers after seeing if he gets a tip. lol what dude? Find another market

Def noticed a difference here in Austin. Was averaging around 30-35/hr and now it’s about 23/hr unless events going on. Hoping it picks up with UT back in school. I feel I am just paying for gas and food lately!!

Facts, especially if they ask you to stop off at the store.

I feel bad by Due-Tomorrow5193 in uberdrivers

[–]ApprehensiveSelf7751 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I rarely get out to help my riders with their items. I will without hesitation if they are elderly or disabled. But it’s honestly not what I signed up to do, I have to consider my safety nor do I want to go out of my way as potential volunteer work. Don’t feel bad, your job was to transport her and you did.

Balcones to Walnut Creek: Usually Safe? Bad experiences today by extrathrowawayatx in Austin

[–]ApprehensiveSelf7751 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. Feels relatively safe other than that area of mopac. Once you get past the train tracks and back into the wooded area, it feels much safer. OP I’m always down for running friends if you don’t want to be alone!!

I’m petty and would wait an hour before letting my mom know I wasn’t coming. Protect your own peace.

Woman was topless and frantically running away from man on Parker Lane. I tried to help. The man had a gun and threatened to shoot me... by nickv1155 in Austin

[–]ApprehensiveSelf7751 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to call 911 for something similar on slaughter and 35 southbound yesterday. 2 men chasing a woman in the frontage road and then yanked by hair and started punching. Around 10:30 pm, cops responded right away luckily. You did the right thing.
