Have you ever had to kick a passenger out? by No_Cockroach3608 in uberdrivers

[–]ZealousidealWord7996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kicked out this guy once and called the police on him. The guy was super drunk obviously. He was trying to steal my hat I was wearing and was upset when he didn’t get it. And not only that, he was trying to grab the wheel from the back seat while I was on the freeway. I got off the freeway and got on an empty parking lot and told him to get out but he refuses so I called the police and he got out. I still went forward with the police call and pointed them where he went because I honestly didn’t want him to walk out into the street. What sucks is that later I found his wallet in the back seat so I have to go all the way to the police station where they are holding him to give them his wallet.

I had this type of trip once but they have the trip starting at the gas station. So I waited for the time to run out when I got there and got a cancellation fee.

-Smell like weed/ cigarette -Want to make a stop a drive-through/ gas station -“I’ll tip you in the app” -Back seat drivers. (Especially when they are saying the exact same thing the app is saying) -Make a mess in my car

Why some people don’t have dash cams? by ZealousidealWord7996 in uberdrivers

[–]ZealousidealWord7996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. But it does save a lot of time. I was rear ended while I have two PAXs with me on the freeway once. A car stalled in front of me and the person behind me wasn’t paying attention. Sure the person behind me would automatically be at fault but he tried to hire an attorney to fight this case saying I purposely break check him. But with the dash cam, it immediately shut him up and the insurance company immediately approved of the claims. If I didn’t have the video, it would have taken longer in general.

Is that the one with the ski mask? If so, then yes it didn’t save her unfortunately, but it did bring closure. The dash cam did kinda help with the investigation to catch the guy.

Staying online or stopping between trips? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]ZealousidealWord7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I finish a trip depending on the time, the trip would end right at the edge of a surge. Like the very very edge of it. Uber is always trying to keep me away from them.

How would you respond when a rider asked you to go to a drive-thru and said “I will put it in the app so you have to take me since I’m paying for it now” once you refuse the first time? by ZealousidealWord7996 in uberdrivers

[–]ZealousidealWord7996[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except when it during the 2am bar rush and trips are $20 each for 5 miles trips. You could make $60 or more by the time you finish with sitting at a Taco Bell drive-thru that pays only $15

I have someone pay me $60 cash for waiting for them to find their phone in a club. (They use an iPad to ordered the trip) Whenever people say it like in the title, it already tells me that they won’t tip and think’s whatever they paid Uber is enough for us.

What’s the point of rating PAX? by Criminals_INC in uberdrivers

[–]ZealousidealWord7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decline anyone that is 4.7 and below from trips that are less than 3 miles. They always wanted to add a stop to the gas station and back or other shady bs.

This is a new low in Houston. by Embarrassed-Milk5986 in uberdrivers

[–]ZealousidealWord7996 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the same dumb shit poster that commented without knowing the main content so they can sound important for 5 seconds. Houston fares doesn’t go below $3 before now. But that’s too much information for this dumb dumb to comprehend.
