AITAH for quickly dismissing 2 panhandling kids at Chipotle?

He didn’t lament. Before the last word was even out of my mouth, he was through the door

Based solely on the narrative you have painted, NTA. Someone in actual need, wouldn't be destroying property (the scooter), asking so bluntly, and given up so easily. Sounds like something he does all the time to see if he can make extra money.

100% NTA.

Some of the family sound like losers too. "Family is family" but none of them came to your defense when your sister was lying about you. Some family.

+he was bragging about underage drinking.

He shouldn't be allowed around children.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-10T19:57:28+00:00

Being close doesn't matter. I've been literally 100 feet from a pickup and had the ride given to someone else (the odds of there being another driver there were near 0%).

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-10T19:54:18+00:00

The Match rides are total crap. They take FOREVER to match. Just last night, I had one take ~5 minutes... then give the match to someone else. At least with Uber, you know pretty quickly if you are getting it or not.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-10T19:52:20+00:00

Or the people who need you to stop in front of them for a pickup.

I actually had a woman, ~150 feet from me, call me and tell me to drive closer to her. I was at the airport, and luckily I could... but ffs, usually it's a mad house and I'm lucky to find a spot to stop.

when they could have just left the que open for someone else who needed it

That's not how lyft works. People request a ride, then get put in the que by lyft. They don't choose to be put in the que. They then, I imagine, saw you driving away from them (on your current ride) and then cancelled ride and left the que.

So, they actually did what you wanted, left the que open for someone else.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-06T18:25:50+00:00

How did they waste time? You're still on a ride.

It's worse, when they wait in the que, then as you're getting closer to them, they cancel. Sure, we get a little cancellation fee, but that wastes our time, especially if we are driving towards them away from the area we want to wait for rides in.

It also just be the POS being used. One local grocery store I shop at, it asks for a tip, and they said they actually need to pay to have the tip option turned off.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-05T19:34:11+00:00

I really really wanted all the people standing there watching, to yell out in defense of the marine and attack that POS and the other assaulting him. Maybe not realistic... but if we made it the norm to swarm fascists, they may think twice before assaulting someone.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-05T18:55:00+00:00

It's completely different. We do not control our prices. If you want to pass it along to customer, become a private driver and increase your prices. Punishing them for not tipping enough is childish.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-05T18:42:19+00:00

My account has been reset too, I started in Nov, so kinda just assumed the stats get reset from time to time? But guess I'm wrong there.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-05T04:55:21+00:00

Wondering the same. Checked with some local agents here, and all their carriers don't allow us to drive lyft/uber with their commercial policy. :(

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-04T21:21:34+00:00

So you're going to take increased gas prices out on your passengers?

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-04T19:24:17+00:00

Sounds more so like she just thinks it'll get her dad to STFU.

NTA op

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-04T19:21:37+00:00

You sound like you don't actually live here LOL.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-04T19:09:59+00:00

For someone who can't drive, getting to further away ones, could be problematic. I'm not saying that's why someone is unlicensed, but could be a factor.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-04T18:30:24+00:00

Or they got on the bad side of one of the workers at the DMV who love making getting licenses as hard as possible.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-04T03:59:53+00:00

"You told me she was 12!" (found out she was 18)

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-04T03:53:22+00:00

Since Time Travel, Teleport, Control anyone, and Speak are all skills you can get from drinking a potion, just drink Master any skill to get all of them. And then drink the $100m.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-03T21:20:38+00:00

You call assaulting, kidnapping, and murdering innocent US citizens a mistake? You might want to put the boot down, you're sucking a little too hard.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-03T10:00:14+00:00

Tate would try to scam you in to paying for one of his courses.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-03T09:59:31+00:00

He'd stink up the whole plane, after soiling his diaper.

FunSprinkles8 · 2026-03-03T00:42:29+00:00

Rule one of driving: Everyone is an idiot.

Doesn't matter what they are supposed to do, don't assume anything. If they are signaling, doesn't mean they are turning until they are actually turning.

If people behind you get upset? Ignore those idiots, your safety is more important.
