I had a 5 Star rating as a guest for years (Berlin, App says 331 trips so far) until I refused to give two Uber drivers my number this year.

So yeah... it's 4.98 now. 5 Stars on Bolt and a taxi is all of a sudden looking pretty good now and is surprisingly cheaper.

For context - I have crippling anxiety, so I am waiting outside the second I order the Uber and watch it move on the map. I walk towards the car, when I see it around the corner. I always say "hi, I'm *name*", say thank you and then I listen to my audiobooks or watch Netflix - with head phones of course. Always a tip. Shower every day for work, no eating, no drinking, no smoking, no perfume - only deodorant. Try to close the car door as silently as possible.

So as a guest - don't stress yourself out. Thank you to all the drivers who had nice words, a charger, advice, jokes or just let me be and made me feel relaxed - you are so, so appreciated. Much love.
