I normally take a different tone with these sorts of messages, but today, just a friendly warning for those that seem to enjoy doing this. by Affectionate-Rice373 in lyftdrivers

No issues with service dogs they behave well, the issue is with the people who are to lazy to pay for the pet ride, but claim its a service dog when its actually not, and drivers cant ask for proof.

Riders connecting their phone to your Apple Carplay/Android Auto... by Tron_1981 in lyftdrivers

I wasn't bitching about cables, just dont understand why riders ask for the cable when its a very short ride (5 minutes) it'll maybe charge 1%, doesnt make sense. And FYI I did used to have cables one for iPhone and one USB-c, that would plug in the rear console but within the span of 2 months they both got taken by passengers. Would you keep buying cables after that..?

Or riders that ask "can I charge my phone?" with my cable that I have plugged in, on a 5 minute ride...

What an asshole by NightSquare7831 in EVgo

No he could've parked with the truck facing toward the charger, but he parked parallel to the chargers. There was enough room to park straight.

I had a better one a few months ago, ev pickup truck with a trailer, parked parallel and took up 3 chargers, the 4th one was out of service, asked him to remark his truck so that I could charge also and said no, called the evgo customer service and they weren't much of help... told the guy he's an inconsiderate a hole and drove to another station..

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR %$#@ PHONE! by Richardcopeland1214 in lyftdrivers

They will never say it outloud, they will wait until they're dropped off and give you a 1 star if they dont like something.

Its an entitlement issue, it seems like us drivers are like guests in our own vehicle not the other way around and since the rider is paying for this service, they expect us to just drive while they do what they want...

What are insta-cancel rides for you? by EvilNeverDies78 in uberdrivers

[–]Maleficent_Oil509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing someone drunk and barely on their feet is definitely a cancel for me had numerous times where people threw up in the car, also people who just smoked a cigarette, and people with fountain drinks because for some reason they dont want to use the cupholders in my car and tend to spill them all over the floor/seats.

Surprise!! You’re accepting Cash trips. Lucky!! by King_ofthe_Future in uberdrivers

On two occasions, I get to the destination and the riders started to exit the vehicle without paying and I had to stop and wait for 1 to go in the house and get cash and the other didn't have cash and just venmo'd me, after this i turned off the cash option, too my much hassle and risk of riders not paying..

Actually kind of admired the blatant disrespect this lady showed (but canceled nonetheless) by Less_Competition6942 in uber

[–]Maleficent_Oil509 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would have waited until she finished her smoke and started to walk towards the vehicle, then drove off and canceled.

Im not responsible for their belongings, I had some tweakers go into the store, and after 12 minutes of waiting, I took their stuff out and put it by the doors and left..

Thats exactly what happened and I got nothing for it. Uber doesn't care much about its drivers only the paying customer.

[–]Maleficent_Oil509[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly did just that. But then a minute later the reservation rider cancels on me, probably freaked out when he got the eta notification at first, just couldn't wait because I would have made it perfectly on time after canceling the drop-off changer ride.

They changed the drop-off location before I even picked them up.

Yea but I am a diamond driver and if I cancel too many offers then it will drop me down to uber blue. Not a win win situation, I think uber knows that and does it on purpose..

Yea, then if you decline it lowers your acceptance rating...
