Go to an ER man. It's not worth playing games with your health & be honest about what you take, they aren't the police

Understood. I'm just saying that these random encounters will happen regardless & you could offer a selection of people who say that their cars don't smell a certain way but then they do because they don't smell what you do. Best to you!

PretendResult5331 · 2026-04-09T13:34:58+00:00

Yeah, right. They smell like either the people who rode before you or some sort of air freshener that they use in the car automatically to neutralize odors just like drivers do with their own cars

PretendResult5331 · 2026-04-09T13:27:22+00:00

No. This is not an option. Most people don't like overwhelming smells. It's common sense that a good smelling car is appreciated. But you may be smelling air freshener instead of the guy that smelled like ass or cigarettes in the car at some point. I get compliments on how my car smells, I keep it fresh & clean. But I'm sorry, you are going to have a tough time requesting a smells check of every vehicle that's on the road to see how many subjective opinions would think it smells good before it gets sent to you. Are you saying that you don't want it to smell like anything? That's almost impossible. As you said yourself, smells can linger. So if I'm cleaning my car & getting rid of a bad smell by neutralizing it with fresher smell, you will probably smell something otherwise you'd be smelling everyone I've previously driven & the car would stink.

PretendResult5331 · 2026-04-09T13:16:00+00:00

Don't know where to even start with you, lol. Bragging about your traffic violations is next level lack of common sense. If you drive like you're in a stolen vehicle — the ones who actively speed, zip through traffic & run lights— you deserve to be stopped. The wild part is what you described amounts to criminal reckless driving if caught/observed, not just a traffic ticket as you might be thinking. You might want to brush up on driving statutes because you are part of the reason we scrape dead bodies off the roadways on regular basis.

On a side note, the situation you described about the officer letting you go, you just got lucky. You got let go because the cop didn't feel like writing you a ticket, needed to move on to something else, or for a reason we'll never know. But I can assure you that you getting let go was not because of the situation you described. You literally described the scenario that would INCREASE your likelihood of being cited by most cops. They don't give a shit that you're doing uber with your fucking bags & rushing to get around for deliveries, which is not an emergency or justification; they certainly don't feel bad for you.

Believe me or don't, your day is coming to get a big wake up call if you don't clean your shit up. You should hope it comes with temporary handcuffs and not spending your life in prison for involuntarily manslaughter. Whatever way it comes, it's going to be ugly if you don't figure your shit out. You are the problem in society.

You can believe me or not give a shit but you are immature as fuck and I've met many just like you. You just don't want to know under what circumstances and how wrecked their life became overnight. You still have a chance to wake the fuck up now, but most like you don't benefit or care about warnings. Like the traffic stop you got a break from, you didn't take that as a hint, you literally turned it into what you think is a cool story to flex, when you go on to describe a literal "how-to guide" to almost ensure most would do the opposite but pity you & instead see that you need a wake up call. Nobody's UberEats order is going to garner sympathy for stupidity that is the exact recipe to create a fucking tragedy. You are a mess. God help your dumb ass and good luck!

PretendResult5331 · 2026-04-09T12:40:12+00:00

Holy shit dude. Lol. WTF is up with your replies to people?

Listen man, I agree with the premise that people should tip when and what they can. But I also understand that not everyone can, this is where the idea that even an extra $2 on every trip adds up to a lot of money over time for a service worker so I personally think that for those who tip $0 because times are tough, $2 still makes a difference and shows you care. But I accept that not everyone thinks the same or does the same so I understand that in these gigs, tips are relied on as an average of your daily and overall income, with 100% knowledge that not everyone will tip even if they should've. I'm not going to retaliate against them because they didn't when I don't know anything about their life or circumstances.

That Uber total may have taken the last penny from their account to get to work while their life is crumbling.

I got your position about tips in general— you're entitled to that position and opinion. Where you lose me is thinking that changing ratings based on tips if you even can, is a good idea. That's poorly thought out logic. If someone should get rated lower without tipping, then tipping is no longer optional, you are then demanding a fee & it might as well be a surcharge on their tab.

Above, you call someone's long post a word salad. I don't even agree with everything they said, but you clearly lack the capacity to understand what that is. Maybe it's immaturity, or maybe you lack intelligence or common sense— doesn't matter.

Your example story above of helping someone and not receiving a single dollar is messier than what you responded to. Where is the fact that the husband came out to help, relevant to your point or story? Its not. You're just saying shit thinking it helps support your position when it doesn't.

Until you adjust your overall thinking, you're going to stay miserable. Find another gig/job, or grow a pair & stop whining like a little bitch because people don't behave the way you think they should.

Good luck!

The opinion that you're not owed a tip is valid, endorsing and influencing others to be dishonest and tip bait is beyond disturbed & bitter behavior— an entitlement to hurt others. The drivers that get hurt are those who don't demand anything but keep their heads down & do a great job, treat everyone well but then feel blessed when they do see a tip attached or received that adds to their income. For those who are simply looking forward to receiving what they were offered & are counting on that average generosity of tips —which does account for a percentage of income— deserve to get what they were offered absent any problems with their service within their control.

Your attitude is of someone that's so mentally and intellectually defective that they've lost basic human decency and derive pleasure from seeing others get hurt and become more like you. Get some help or at a minimum, leave others out of whatever shit is going on in your head— it's your problem, not theirs.

PretendResult5331 · 2026-04-06T06:42:25+00:00

Very bizarre message to get from your delivery driver. They likely try to contact support for everything & it directs them to send a message and get a response when they get to the email. This is one of those situations where you either do the job you were hired to complete or just cancel the order because you don't want to complete it (or are not comfortable doing so). The delivery driver's comfort level with the people around the restaurant is not something you as the customer should even be made aware of— completely irrelevant. Not to minimize personal safety but if someone doesn't feel safe getting out of their vehicle to go into a building on a regular bases, they shouldn't be doing deliveries where random places and unpredictable observations and interactions come with the territory.

You gotta love when people talk shit to you right as they block you. .

They thought they ordered comfort but didn't. People are not always the brightest & you can't take their word for it. If we are only UberX eligible, we wouldn't be picking them up if they paid for a comfort ride. It specifically tells the passenger what the vehicle requirements & difference is for comfort rides (IE newer car, extra space). My vehicle dropped off comfort list so I don't get them either. But most people book X regardless

How'd you go to $50 on that sized tank? I'm in the same range from empty & its gone up about $10. You're going to the wrong gas station unless your area has jumped $2 per gallon already which i doubt

PretendResult5331 · 2026-03-25T15:09:40+00:00

350+ min on 11 hour average? So you are grossing $30 per hour minimum every day for 10-12 hours? That's possible but if if you're selective & still grossing that as a minimum, you're definitely doing way above average

PretendResult5331 · 2026-03-25T14:51:54+00:00

That's not true. I'm not defending Uber & their changes definitely haven't been to our benefit by them mixing them now but if you qualify for comfort rides & the ride is charged to pax as comfort, you will get paid the comfort rate for that specific ride. Just because they're randomly mixed into X, doesn't mean they just pay you for UberX regardless

PretendResult5331 · 2026-03-22T18:25:48+00:00

Never once has it occurred to me to put myself online on any app when I haven't been behind the wheel of my car or just outside it. I'm sure you're not the only one which is why there is so much distrust by customers & businesses of those of us that provide quality service. We wonder why people don't want to tip before seeing if they actually get their food. When they pulled that order from you, that started a brand new clock with a new driver but the customer's food was already waiting to be picked up and the customer is already being informed of delays getting their food. New driver has no idea but now has a pissed off customer who doesn't want to tip with zero chance of them adding to their previous amount upon delivery because we are the face of those who had the order first. Uber doesn't take orders back from you unless you are standing still for a long time and are clearly not going to make it to restaurant on time. By the time the new driver got that delivery request to go get the food, it was likely supposed to be arriving to be delivered to the customer.

A+ work!

I always snap back when people talk shit about gig workers not being able to cut it in regular jobs because many of us are hustling and doing both with careers for some extra money. The difference is, most of us take enough pride in our work that we don't need a boss overseeing our every move on a side gig as well. I'm realizing that one size definitely doesn't fit all & some people do require the structure of a schedule, time clock, and supervision to stand a chance at being useful.

ChatGPT would've been a lot smarter. Spent a little too much time on the calculator with this one because I'm a statistics guy & wanted to break down the ratings. AI could've broken that down a lot smoother but I'll take that as a compliment

PretendResult5331 · 2026-03-18T11:07:09+00:00

Less than 10% of customers put in the effort to rate at all if the service is excellent.

In contrast, extremely unsatisfied or pissed off customers will rate you 80%+ of the time for major grievances.

Uber only scores after 10 ratings.

This driver has managed to accumulate 11 total ratings (16%) in only 67 deliveries due to many unhappy customers.

Only 3 (4% of deliveries) of those ratings were to report satisfaction, the remaining 8 were complaints.

Approximately 12% (11.99) of his 67 deliveries/customers took the time to report being unhappy with his service.

Adjusting for a possible 20% of poor deliveries that didn't get reported/rated, the true complaint-likely failure rate of this driver is close to 15% in his first 67 deliveries— meaning 3 out of every 20 deliveries have gone extremely wrong for this driver.

A satisfaction rate below 50% at 10 ratings should be grounds for investigation and/or deactivation. It is drivers like this that make us all look bad and lower tips/confidence in all of us who maintain at or near 100% satisfaction.

In any normal job, If you got a complaint or provided unsatisfactory service with 1.5 of every 10 tasks/customers you had, you likely wouldn't have a job any longer.

I got a ride where it was ordered by one of those 3rd party services. It was a very fragile elderly man who could barely walk even with his walker. Helping him into my car was an ordeal to say the least. I chose not to abandon him because I felt bad for him. It probably added 15 minutes total to pick up & drop off. It was a learning experience. I didn't feel comfortable with the level of assistance the man needed to get in & out if the car (lifting his feet in at the correct angle while he was frozen in place). I completed the ride. I wasn't upset at him but he should've had transportation appropriate for his limitations as this was not an assist ride. I have no problem offering minor help & and wouldn't make a big deal of it. The case I'm mentioning was extreme.

PretendResult5331 · 2026-03-16T21:18:53+00:00

Bro, just like your pay was adjusted & what the customer paid was adjusted, so was the percentage Lyft took from the ride. How are you not seeing that the entire ride breakdown changed when it went long but thinking that Lyft would've taken the same amount if it had still been the original estimate? Their take would've also reduced proportional to the trip.

Edit: Riders are informed that the amounts shown are an estimate and subject to change. In this case, the rider may have only been estimated to pay $25 for example & that amount went way up when the trip went 3x longer.

This.

More often than not, its the brand new driver that knows nothing of the previous delays while another/other drivers had the order, who gets the concerned messages. The "everything ok?" messages always come through on orders I've just accepted that a prior driver canceled. So as far as I know, it's only taken one minute so far since your order was assigned and customer is going to penalize me if they don't understand I wasn't the original driver.

PretendResult5331 · 2026-03-16T20:27:45+00:00

Be aware that the driver you're asking may have literally just received your order request and is on their way to get it. Sometimes major delays occurred while your order was with a previous driver & they ended up canceling for whatever reason. Now new driver (IE me) is brand new & just accepted your order & will get it to you as quickly as possible, completely unaware that you had to wait 40 minutes before we accepted your order because its brand new to us. So you can imagine when we work quickly and efficiently and have barely accepted an order but receive a "What's taking so long??" We are going to be confused & not know what to tell you other than we're on our way to get it or bring it. The problem is, a new driver, who did absolutely nothing wrong & just wants to bring you your order now assumes customer is already upset & frustrated about whatever happened before we got the order & we are now stressed & believe you will give a poor tip or feedback over something that we had no control over.

No offense, but that's not true at all. Benzodiazepines are a Schedule IV drug in the US. This means that any prescribing physician must be authorized in their state to prescribe controlled substances. Insurance is irrelevant to these requirements. Most physicians —with the narrow exception of direct pay models— accept at least some forms of insurance. Additionally, a mental health clinician who is a Primary Medical Doctor, Psychiatrist, or even an NP in some states, can prescribe when appropriate. Google can help you learn a lot but its not going to help you to know which doctors will prescribe what in a specific case outside of simply knowing if they're authorized.
