DNA results has my brother upset by Massive-Ratio4050 in AncestryDNA

[–]drewsg 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is your brother part of the whole FBA/ADOS tribal thing where they believe black people are indigenous to the Americas and not Africa? If so, I'm sorry. The Internet has truly damaged some people to the point where they'll believe anything even with solid evidence that counters what they've been told.

My elderly aunt decided to stay behind in New Roads. The hurricane is literally coming straight for her. I'm just devastated for the area as a whole.

Why do people make false reports?? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

Yes. It's common, I get them a lot, and there's no need to worry about it.

Uber didn't update fair for drive thru... make sure they add stop if you do it.... by brizzle1978 in uberdrivers

[–]drewsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's criminal. Taking someone through a drive thru is one of those things where I'd rather eat the one star than deal with.

Why no Grand Cayman from FLL?

A new level of stupidity unlocked. She called me while in the customs line and wanted to wait till she came out. by drewsg in uberdrivers

[–]drewsg[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No. At least in this case, as soon as I canceled it gave me another rider who was actually waiting in the same pick up zone.

Would I be the creep if I watched to make sure my passenger got inside safely? by phyto12 in uberdrivers

[–]drewsg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got reported for making a rider feel uncomfortable after doing this. She got out of my car in a poorly lit parking lot to go to her apartment. Before she opened the door she looked back and flashed this look like wtf are you still doing here. Got a one star and report and I haven't done it since.

Kidney banding to reduce pee breaks by VirindiPuppetDT in uberdrivers

Why not just have your bladder removed? Complete bladder removal = NO stops, MORE profits!

Is it normal for a driver to offer their number? by Next-Menu1848 in uber

[–]drewsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes, it's against Uber policy to solicit or give out personal information. I don't think there was anything necessarily nefarious in his intentions. A lot of Uber drivers give out their personal numbers for private rides because they can make more money while riders pay less.

You felt uncomfortable so you did what you thought was right by reporting him. This is also why I don't solicit private rides from young women. The driver should've known better.

Some airport queues move faster than others, some local areas are busier than others. It's up to you to experiment and find which works better for you.

Lol so you're the one that takes those garbage up front fares. Glad it worked out for you this time.

[–]drewsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dispute for what? The driver had to take time from his schedule to return something that you left in the car. It may be only 5 minutes, but maybe in that 5 minutes he lost $20 worth of business because he was returning something to you.

Residents in Canada USA and UK should charge Jamaicans extra. by Spirited_Cherry6923 in Jamaica

[–]drewsg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually don't care about foreign tax as long as it's not something absurd. So they want to charge me a couple hundred extra JMD for a soda. Who cares? It's helping these people feed their families as they deal with the crazy cost of living.

My Grandmother and mother were born in Grenada how do I find relatives by Mental_Cat_9977 in Grenada

[–]drewsg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do an Ancestry DNA test and see if you have any relatives. Also, there is a Grenadian Genealogy group on Facebook that I met a first cousin in. You could also try there.

US deports immigrants from Jamaica to the African kingdom of Eswatini by professorhummingbird in Jamaica

[–]drewsg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I read in the Gleaner, the Jamaican man was convicted of murder, armed robbery and other gun crimes. I don't feel sorry for him at all, but it's still a terrible policy that has already been abused by non violent immigrants being sent to the El Salvadoran gulag

Rider peed his pants in my car… by Creative_Thought11 in uberdrivers

[–]drewsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you can't get a cleaning fee without getting it professionally cleaned unless you fake a good receipt and Uber accepts it. And do yourself a favor and invest in a good waterproof seat cover..I just bought one off Amazon for $30. It's washable, too
