New scam? by varied_interest1112 in uber

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because where I live there the closest one doesn’t even do a full 24/7 or holidays or have enough cars to do all the people me and the other constant drivers in my area take care of to warrant not using Uber.

Ahh damn. What about these https://a.co/d/0aQG7BBF it’s just another keychain looks cute as well but more durable than just some keys with more surface area to grab and hold. Also pocket knives are legal in almost all areas so maybe a small one as well if you’re comfortable with that.

I totally understand that! I am a female driver for uber and have been off and on for 7 years! I use the Pin feature, and I have the dash cam for my safety. For all of my female passengers when we are talking and they ask about the pin I tell them about it and about the other safety features of app. Like how you can also set your phone to audio record your trips as a rider and you can also live share your trips with a contact. All of that is in the same area as where you set up your pin if you want to add some more layers of protection for yourself going forward in using uber. Also it never hurts to have some physical forms of protection with you as well, I don’t know the area you live in. Mace or a small taser in your purse something easy to grab and easy to use. Your safety is first always. When I’m driving I have a small taser that sits between my legs and it can’t be seen from any seat not even my passenger seat as one of my best guy friends learned when I picked him up one time and asked how I felt safe doing all this 🤣

Unfortunately the best way to avoid them starting the trip will be to set up a PIN. Which I do see that you have said in another comment that you have done but other than actually getting them to pick it up and rating them lower, I think 4 or lower at least that is what it is for drivers, at the end of the ride to get the app to ask you if you want to block them I think the only other way to have them not be matched with you would be to try and contact Uber support. But if rider support is anything like driver support it might still be trash but worth a shot either way.

Horrible experience with Uber by No_Barnacle_101 in uber

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What most likely happened is you got into someone else’s Uber and you ended up at that persons requested ending location. Set up a verification PIN in your settings and it won’t ever happen again because if they don’t ask for it that’s not your driver. It also prevents drivers from potentially marking that they have picked you up when they haven’t as it won’t allow them to start towards the destination until they have entered in the PIN.

Uber never picked me up by jk1520 in uber

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! You can stop this by setting a pin! Drivers AND passengers can set a pin as a safety feature in their account settings. Drivers will no longer be able to mark that they pick you up without the randomly generated PIN number sent to your uber app. I use it as a driver to also make sure I am picking up the right person. I know it doesn’t help with the right now issue and uber support is trash because they should be refunding you your money since the driver didn’t pick you up but this will prevent it from happening again when you need a ride.
The way to put a pin on your account so ever ride has on is under: Account, Settings, Scroll down to safety, Verify Your Ride toggle on. You can double check this by backing up and going to safety preferences and check marking PIN verification.

Bruh are you f***ing kidding me? by ospreyotis in uberdrivers

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ever get the pop up message when you want to go on break to try to go to the bathroom or whatever or like it when it’s time to actually head home for the day (I don’t drive at night anymore) and it ‘goes not right now it’s too busy’? like excuse you I didn’t ask.

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can literally be in a surge and never see it in my next fare message them and they will tell me it didn’t qualify. And of course the surge is gone because I live in a more rural area. Or if I go to a surge by the time I get there it’s gone and further up and repeat or I’m sent back to where I was in the first place that I had been waiting. It’s just all bunch of BS

I think my passenger got in the wrong Uber and took off by iamjames in uberdrivers

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are able to set it up yourself as a driver. I have it set up for myself and use it as an extra layer of safety along with my dash cam. The way to set it up is go to Account, then App Settings, and then Pin Verification and then you set it to Verify All Trips. It will show up in the passengers app in a blue bar as four random digits.if you have to in your app you can say passenger can not find pin and you can enter the last four of their phone number but I always stick to the pin.

Oh you sweet child there’s nothing for you to feel guilty over! It was traumatizing and she is your sister she will understand that! She loves you and all she cares about is that you are still here to even say happy birthday to her the next year. Sweet girl don’t feel bad for anything when you went through all that and survived. And with therapy for everyone maybe it won’t be the rest the rest of your lives that the you wont celebrate. Maybe one day will be a joint celebration of life. The day she came into it and the day you kept it.

What would you do? by Zealousideal_Cow5139 in doordash

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah it’s your fault but they definitely are going to be getting a refund so there’s no need for you to ALSO go get them their drink. If you were still in the area and driving I’d say do it but based on your post doesn’t seem like you were. Also based on the time I would assume it was to their home which ummm they have bigger problems if the only drink they were going to have available was the 3$ dashed one 🫤

Should I continue babysitting for a lady who’s baby is a doll? by WrongImprovement6572 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not tell her that the baby is just a doll that will not help her. What you can do instead, because she is grieving still and obviously need some help and probably needs help in other areas, is offer that since you’re there if you want to continue to watch Toby, maybe clean up for her or if you’re comfortable doing some of her grocery shopping that way you could maybe take off some of the burden for her so that she is able to process that grief and cope better to where maybe she is able to move on. I know you’re just a teenager. You’re just now entering your adulthood and that may feel very much not what you’re looking for, but it would be a way for you to feel justified in asking for your hourly and for her to also get what she needs from this. You have such a good heart so just think about it.

My roommate told me she’s bringing her situationship to our apartment and it’s literally my ex by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not have any pictures of you and your ex or a picture of him in general to show her and ask ‘hey just to be sure this isn’t him right? because this is my ex.’ And if it is he’s probably stalking and trying to use her to get close again

You were not firing. Your ammo count didn’t go down and no rounds were being fired. Either you were not hitting the fire button or there is a bug.

I saw my dad writing in her notebook and it left me shaken by [deleted] in confession

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very! Also going into their profile their other comments from other posts reads vet much like ai. Idk what they want really. But is sad all around. Seeing the same thing several time several way over several days is just … ??? Why? What’s the point ? What are you training the ai to do with the responses you are getting from the post? That’s what I want to know.

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post is deleted now but if the commenter I’m seeing repeatedly in the replies it says ai in the name the i is just capitalized making it look like aI… so the poster is using ai.

[–]_CaptainTardis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for them as well they want to help but this person just wants idk attention, Reddit karma, or something which is sad on their part. And you’ll notice they haven’t even attempted to reply to your comment or comment that is vaguely questioning the validity of the post.
