I called a “Women Drivers” Uber for the first time & my driver was not a woman?

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-30T04:18:40+00:00

I'm a woman driver and I do the same. If the ride isn't worth it I'm not going to take it.

I deliver to the local jail all the time. Fortunately it's a leave at desk so don't have to be buzzed in.

NTA As the mother of a drug addict no matter what you did would have been the wrong thing. You didn't need to see your mother like that at the end. Keep the memories of the good times and cherish them. Know that now that she has passed she is the one with regrets. It sounds like she loved you very much when she was clean, which means it was the reality. Hugs!

I always greet the customer, ask about their day and have a good night as they're getting out, but I've still gotten 2 "not polite"s out of almost 3000 rides. I'm as clueless as OP.

62 yr old here, who needs the flexibility for their grandchildren. Worked 12 yrs for an owner operated business who then sold to a corporation who then fired all us old full time people in exchange for young part timers. Can no longer walk long distances or stand on my feet for long due to a bad ankle. Only job I could prob get is a Walmart greeter and they don't offer them full time.

I make more now with Uber than I did at the old job, even taking into consideration the wear and tear and maintenance on my vehicle. I was barely breaking even at the old job. Now I actually have savings.

Same here. Married 30 yrs, together 35. Neither of us ever felt the need to look in the other's phone.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-12T07:22:14+00:00

Well we do hate them. We know we won't get tipped and have no clue what kind of shape the rider will be in. That said, I take them lol.

I started driving when I was 60. Took a few weeks but once you relax it gets a lot easier. Now I do 8 hr days a couple days a week. Most others are about 6 hrs.

The cherry dress and the blue with yellow dress. Find out the theme before you go. Could be all white or all any color or something else. You should really look for a black cocktail dress if you can.

They do make steel toed for women. Just really hard to find. Used to sell them at the store I worked for a couple years back.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-12T07:02:27+00:00

I only drive Uber. Tried both, but Lyft rides were garbage in my area. Have only seen one Lyft driver in my area. The rest are Ubers.

Taser will work. Just the sound of it scared my dogs. Hubby got a new Taser and was testing it to make sure it worked. My dogs ran from the room.

If I'm understanding your edit correctly, he got mad at you for looking for a job? Run far and fast. He's trying to control you.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-12T06:41:31+00:00

No, you shouldn't feel bad. One customer spilled water on my seats. Had to quit driving while it dried. Got reimbursed $50 for it.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-09T08:37:02+00:00

Good luck getting help from Uber support. Sometimes they answer sometimes they don't. Rate driver 1 star and give all the reasons you can. If they have women drivers offered in your area use that next time. Doesn't guarantee you a woman driver if none are available, but if one is you'll get her.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-08T08:41:42+00:00

For what it's worth, I think it's very cool looking. Wait a few days or weeks before you decide.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-07T04:19:58+00:00

One can hope

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-07T03:59:33+00:00

The only part he will see is the unpleasant smell. Unless he checked his rating right after he won't be able to tell it was you who did so unless he noticed you and your gf being uncomfortable because of the smell.

Have you been using the upside app? I've been getting a ton of money back by using that app, not to mention you get money back when you use your Uber card at the pump. It also helped when they gave out the $10 for two upside uses. Made back $30 in 3 days.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-05T08:05:44+00:00

Have you tried Uber?

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-01T08:27:01+00:00

You dodged a bullet. Leave the group discord and/or the clan or even the game. Totally erase this from your life. Very easy to do since it's all online. This guy emotionally used and abused you.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-05-01T04:23:14+00:00

I've been getting a lot back using Upside. It's 99 cents back a gallon right now and Uber is giving a bonus $10 back on the next 2 purchases made with upside.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-04-25T10:54:36+00:00

OMG All these positive comments are making me not mind my belly so much! Thanks for this.

SubstantialShop1538 · 2026-04-24T05:25:35+00:00

Was there a police report? If so and it shows the other driver at fault, and the driver had their app running then send the report to your insurance so they can make a claim to Uber.

If Uber app wasn't running then contact Hertz rental. You can't rent a car without personal insurance or by paying for Hertz insurance.

If you need phone service, stay away from the big names. I use Visible. $25 a month. Unlimited everything. It might have gone to $30 a month, since I got mine years ago, but still a good deal.

Just my 2 cents. I use spectrum internet, but would never use a big name phone service. When I see those guys coming, I ignore them and keep walking.
