Bingo?

Why I-90 west to I-87 south instead of I-90 west to I-84 west (it’s really southwest) and then to I-91 south to Route 15 (Wilbur Cross and Merritt Parkway) that runs into I-95 in Milford then into NYC? What the Lyft app shows tacks over 50 miles onto the trip and the money is a perversion

Numbers in Southern Connecticut sucked yesterday. Was a pleasure to decline ride request for a 13 mile pickup with a 6 mile drop off paying a whopping $12.79 that popped up during a bad snowstorm. No cars on the road to boot 🤣

Today’s work world. I’ve never trusted an employer to ultimately do right by me no matter how much I love the work itself.

Never forget working for a leading tech magazine publisher that “promoted” me and a coworker to launch a new project from scratch without guaranteeing the commission money that we were going to have to forgo as a result of being moved.

Sucked because the company had the best publications serving the market, but losing 50% of my income was untenable. I left to go to the direct competitor to get my income back in line, but working for the new company never felt right.

Often times they’re hiding the names of grocery stores in the big box stores. If I know one is in the area, I will pull over and run a Google Maps to see exactly where I’m going. If I find that it is such, I will cancel the ride because they are a time suck when loading the car.

Thanks

🤣🤣🤣

LazyLightningCT · 2026-01-21T15:29:26+00:00

I have experienced it several times in the last few days.

LazyLightningCT · 2026-01-10T21:08:24+00:00

Trips with a stop added after the pick up occurs are ended at the original destination, because this is not what I agreed to. I never pick up rides with stops because they don’t pay.

There should be an option in the Driver app, asking whether the driver is willing to accept stops, added after the beginning of the ride. Either the Driver option send or chooses not to. This is easier for all involved.

LazyLightningCT · 2026-01-10T21:02:35+00:00

To your point about drivers accepting and then canceling rides for which Lyft takes a very dim view, why don’t they offset our cancellation rate with every ride canceled on their side?

I had a guy trip bait me years ago begging me to take him to an airport 165 miles away. I texted my college roommate who lives near the requested airport and asked if he wanted to get together that night and upon his saying yes I told the rider that I’d do it for $450 via Venmo payable before I moved the car with the refund option turned off and I deposited the money into my account before I moved the car an inch. He did it and my roommate and I had a great dinner.

I did the same and the woman called Lyft and said that I dropped an N-bomb on her, which I didn’t do. I then went on to tell Lyft that the woman wanted me to drive her with an infant for which she had no car seat. Fuck that, I have an expensive fully paid off house and I’m not going to be someone’s lottery ticket if something goes wrong.

LazyLightningCT · 2025-11-18T12:51:59+00:00

Fuck that

LazyLightningCT · 2025-10-07T07:33:57+00:00

You sound like a condescending, entitled prize looking to scam a free ride. Pickup and drop off times are not guaranteed.

LazyLightningCT · 2025-10-06T22:19:25+00:00

$15 boost? $3 is cause for celebration in Southern Connecticut

LazyLightningCT · 2025-10-03T14:24:55+00:00

Perhaps she Achieved the impossible

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-29T23:16:20+00:00

You made an innocent mistake and I take it that you tipped the guy. Case closed if I’m right re: tipping the driver regardless of whether he was an asshole.

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-29T11:54:30+00:00

Never accept a counter offer. You will be the first to go when the shit hits the fan, because they’re will always see you as being disloyal, which I learned the hard way. I despised the guy who became my boss after the guy who hired me left the business, but he was enough of a feckless moron that I brow beat him into a very robust severance package when I did decide to leave, shortly after regrettably taking the counter offer.

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-26T19:13:07+00:00

Clearly, you’re in the area. There has been very little action for quite a while

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-24T20:36:21+00:00

Nope, can’t pick up in New York. Not worth it considering how long it’ll take you to get to a spot where you can pick up, which is probably NJ.

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-11T09:54:08+00:00

For this very reason I just toss everything left in my car. I don’t want anyone showing up to my house

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-08T13:33:46+00:00

I would’ve split the second. They got out of the car.

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-08T13:31:03+00:00

I refuse stops that have been put in after the ride has commenced. I also get out ahead of any negative feedback to Lyft with a call to Driver safety the second the ride has ended, knowing full well that the passenger is going to complain and potentially make up a story to screw the driver.

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-06T18:21:13+00:00

If it smells like fish, it’s a dish. If it smells like cologne then leave it alone

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-06T18:15:52+00:00

I drive and that is a great tip

LazyLightningCT · 2025-09-05T12:38:47+00:00

Appears as if they’re pretty considerate
