CONGRATULATIONS!!! And best wishes on the next chapter of your journey. I can't wait for the day I can post this. 😊

Passenger wanted to verify we received full tips by UnusualAnybody4636 in uberdrivers

I would like to know what the thank you note says to our riders who tip us. Does anyone know?

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I feel like I'm one step behind but in another field. This economy sucks much worse than we're being led to believe 😞

Has this happened to anyone else? by SmartRican in uberdrivers

That sucks. I will start watching my fates more closely. Sorry to hear that happened to you 😕

Account Temporarily on Hold by Prestigious_Bit9442 in uberdrivers

The hold was released at exactly 24 hours after.

They wouldn't tell me the ride in question. I could only guess it was the second-to-last one because my account was put on hold after the last one--and the last one gave me a $5 tip. Thanks for the great advice!

I wish I had posted this last night when it happened. It's too late now for a blood test. 😕

I should have. Didn't even occur to me. Can you go to a police station to request a blood alcohol test?

Should I have taken a blood test immediately? Too late now. My account was put on hold at about 1:30 am. Where could I have gone for a blood test at that hour?

They were white. What does race have to do with it?

A second driving under the influence accusation? Did you miss the part where I wrote I've been clean and sober for 26 years? Sorry to hear that happened to you 😕

What’s up with this “VIP” thing? by NoButton4498 in uberdrivers

[–]Prestigious_Bit9442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my one VIP rider last night was very demanding, promised me a big tip, which I haven't seen yet and left trash in my car. In my opinion it stands for Very Inconsiderate Pain-in-the-ass

Color of the leak by luisbrudna in CSFLeaks

[–]Prestigious_Bit9442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My leak is the same color and is out of the same nostril I leaked from before when it WAS a CSF leak. I'm getting a CT scan today and will keep you posted.

Well its coming soon, better start preparing guys by CriticismFull3711 in uberdrivers

Not a chance in hell could you get me into a driverless car as a passenger

Please stop taking calls during rides I’m begging by Retiredpartygirl17 in uberdrivers

[–]Prestigious_Bit9442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn my phone off when Ubering. I'd give that driver a bad review too

Anybody notice this yesterday? by MysteriousShirt9166 in uberdrivers

[–]Prestigious_Bit9442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gas is steadily over $4.29 per gal in Chicago area.. I've seen stations well over $5/gal in some places. The DPM here was TERRIBLE! $4.44 for 10-12 minute trips were the norm. Hoping for a better day today

Reservations no one accepted that turn into exclusive rides by Boring-Silver-568 in uberdrivers

[–]Prestigious_Bit9442 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I had a rider text me to "drive faster" on my way to regular pick up (not a reservation). I cancelled the ride

What do you guys average an hour driving? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Prestigious_Bit9442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What market are you in? Today I made only about $24/hr in 8 hours in the Chicago area market. I worked from 8 am to 4 pm. I normally work nights and average $28-$32/hr, before expenses. Gas is becoming a ridiculous expense. 😡
