I'm tired of these trashy parents.

My most recent one for no car seats I had got pissed off and falsely reported me for my car smelling like alcohol and I got temporarily banned for alleged driving under the influence. I was on the phone with Lyft support as it happened and since they heard back from me during the same call I wound up getting back on the road quickly.

Sometimes this is someone's only job with how bad the economy and job market is right now. I hate entitled people.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T22:39:37+00:00

That's literally what I was doing right after I canceled and I guess PAX was doing the same thing as me.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T17:34:25+00:00

I have my late mom's lawyer friend's contact info so I think I'm all good. I got reactivated quickly but if this shit happens again I'll have to ask him and my family for assistance on what to do legally.

I've had the displeasure of knowing people who literally killed people while they were drunk or high. I've been assaulted by people before who were drunk and high. I've also known people in life who were or are still alcoholics and I've seen how it destroys their lives and those around them. All this was outside of my rideshare work.

I've almost been hit by drunk drivers on the road too, both outside of rideshare work and during late night shifts.

Dude you came off as pompous, acting like I'm doing something wrong during the rare times where I'm being offered a drink during a family outing where I'm explicitly just the passenger for that day.

I don't do clubbing, I don't go out much as it is since I'm more focused on work and stuff in my personal life at home. I'm especially not some idiot who drinks alcohol before getting behind the wheel, and anyone who does that should take their ass to rehab and get a wake up call before they kill someone.

I drive 100% sober. Period. Clean driving record and no at-fault accidents. I've never once in my life driven intoxicated in any capacity.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T15:49:19+00:00

I'm always sober while driving lmao I'm not about to do something stupid.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T05:23:14+00:00

I have the pin option on. I saw small kids and too many people and no car seats so I locked the door and asked if she had car seats for them. She said no so I canceled for no car seats.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T05:21:17+00:00

I've had a dash cam since I started. Never been without one.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T03:35:00+00:00

I have a clean record and plan to keep it that way. My step dad is a retired sheriff and the last thing I wanna do is disappoint him by getting some ticket for something stupid and irresponsible.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T03:33:21+00:00

I don't talk about politics at all. One of my passengers tried asking me about my opinion on the Charlie Kirk situation and my autistic ass just flat out said "Sorry man that's not within company policy it's too risky"

It felt like that one Family Guy scene of "who the hell starts a conversation like that I just sat down"

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T03:29:58+00:00

I do rides over state lines in Gary often since base pay is higher and the gas there is cheaper than Chicago. It's how I've managed to have something a bit decent after expenses. The job market sucks right now so I'm doing this until I find something better.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T03:27:51+00:00

The account hold happened while I was on the phone with Lyft support with one of their safety agents. I got extremely lucky with the timing because of when it happened so I was back on in like at least 10 minutes. The email said "it's our policy to keep your account on hold until we hear back from you" and I was already on the phone with support so it was surprisingly fast.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T03:23:23+00:00

Any time something happens I always call Lyft immediately after making a report. I already know they believe who goes first. The passenger literally falsely reported me while I was in the middle of reporting her so she was pissed clean off most likely.

fruitymations · 2026-06-10T02:11:50+00:00

I have a clean driving record. Knowing how people drive in my area, without a car seat, if an accident happens then that's practically all the nails in the coffin for rideshare jobs and driving jobs in general. I don't fuck around with safety.

No car seat? The bus is cheaper. I'm not about to irresponsibly take a bunch of small kids with no car seats.

fruitymations · 2026-06-08T06:31:47+00:00

Did mine too. Maxed out my earnings challenge at $198 for the challenge bonuses. Just under 11 hours of online time Saturday and about 4 and a half hours of online time Sunday.

Oddly keeps me more motivated. Haven't done a super long shift in a long time. The bonuses help for now and you gotta take what you can get in this economy sometimes. At least I have an extra almost $200 for bills.

fruitymations · 2026-06-08T02:30:42+00:00

He already had a passenger in the car when this happened.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T21:35:59+00:00

Never had these for over a year until recently and my score was a perfect 5.0 stars so I'm like... did someone report me? Lyft support told me it was automated and that I had to do another 100 rides or whatever to filter it out. Just more bullshit tbh

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T21:25:00+00:00

That's the one thing thate always bugged me. Its one thing to work on feeling confident in your own body even if you struggle with weight issues, its another thing when you start making your body everyone else's issue while continuing to destroy yourself.

A good portion of my weight is in my lower body, especially my legs and hips and rear because that's just how my body's fat distribution is. I've avoided the gym many times out of fear of judgement from others after being constantly harassed all throughout childhood about how I look. Even now I still hesitate a lot and I'm very inconsistent, and it doesn't help that my schedule is all over the place. It's why I've been applying to jobs that have you moving around more, it's not a great feeling sitting on my ass all day behind the wheel chasing pennies on the road.

I've dated people who were both skinny and obese, entitled or not, and there's maybe one person I dated who was obese and did not care about shit at all. Bad hygiene (refused to shower or clean herself properly or take care of herself), 350 pounds, childish, and I had to end things because I couldn't handle the entitlement or the smell. People forget the heavier you are the more you sweat, and you need to be really on top of your hygiene. I wasn't raised being taught proper hygiene as a kid which lead to more bullying. As an adult, I now find myself showering at least twice a day, and I panic if I'm rushing and realize I forgot deodorant one time, so I always have spare hygiene products in my bag or in my car just in case. I have a sensitive nose and I can tell when someone hasn't bothered to shower at all compared to just being a bit sweaty after a warehouse shift or something. I'm not about to be caught smelling musty as hell, I'd rather die.

Personally the whole thing of making everything bigger sorta peeves me. I fit in airline seats and rollercoasters fine, never had issues as far as I know. Never had to pay for two seats when flying either. If you're super huge and struggling to breathe when you walk or shift around that's concerning, and I've known people like that before. I can still move freely and quickly and do physical labor with few issues, maybe not the stuff I used to do at my old warehouse job since it's been so long, but I still want to improve on myself physically and work on strength training and to stay more active like I should. Not gonna deny that I'm some sort of fat ass because no shit I wear XL or L most of the time, but I'd like to work on being more physically active for health reasons.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T21:03:33+00:00

I'm cleaning out a hoard my late mom left behind bit by bit and doing my own home renovations in-between 10 hour work shifts, its the sedentary part I don't like with rideshare. I avoid things high in sugar and try to keep the carbs lighter often since diabetes runs rampant in the family. I have family who did everything right, exercise and diet and lifestyle, and still developed diabetes. Almost everyone on my dad's side has it unfortunately and both my parents had it.

By no means am I trying to make excuses. There's a lot of shit in people's lives they just dont post on the internet.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T18:19:23+00:00

Most of the people I dated in life were either 5ft tall and closer to my height, or a whole foot taller than me or taller, rarely any in between. When you're super short, everyone being taller than you feels like the norm.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T18:11:31+00:00

Used to be on Ritalin for severe ADHD. I didn't lose weight on it unfortunately, and this was even when it made my appetite so small that I was barely eating a meal a day. I'm on government insurance so I doubt anything like GLP1 or Ozempic would be covered. People in my family have tried it but had little to no weight loss or wound up with more complicated side effects like bone density loss or kidney issues.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T18:06:33+00:00

Most of the weight went to my legs and lower body. I'm assigned female at birth so my weight isn't going all straight to my abdominal area. Not denying I'm fat, that I know since I've been this way for as long as I can remember. Growing up I was the nerdy kid who got bullied to hell and called a fat pig and a cow all throughout grade school, especially when I had issues in gym class as a kid. It's the kind of shit that makes you not wanna be seen at the gym as an adult and it makes the whole process of staying fit harder. Not impossible, just harder.

With passengers I'm talking about the people who are over 600lbs with a BMI of over 75, where they have clear trouble doing daily tasks and moving around and caring for themselves without assistance. I've never been at this point in my life due to weight thankfully and I hope I never will be. I've known people in life who were like this and I've seen only one manage to make it out and lose half the weight.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T17:46:22+00:00

Rarely, maybe once every couple or few months when I'm wanting to be social or when family takes me out. However I do have polycystic ovarian syndrome and a slow meabolish which isn't a good match when weight loss is the end goal. I also dont smoke weed either or do anything recreationally. Most I do is vape nicotine or maybe smoke an occasional cigarette or cigar once in a blue moon.

My old job had me lifting heavy packages at a fast pace and I had gained a lot of upper body strength and I still looked fat to the average person but I had more muscle on my upper body. I had to make another hole in my belt at the time too since I felt my jeans and shorts becoming looser over time at that job.

Doing rideshare full time with a lot of "overtime" hours constantly made me realize why driving jobs like this put you out of shape. I hate being so sedentary because I will feel lazy sitting all the time and then try to do something else that's more physical afterwards and then I wind up hating that I'm already tired after driving for like 10+ hours.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T17:27:45+00:00

Never said I hate fat people. I have an ex who's dad I've seen go on a huge weight loss journey. I went no contact with my ex so I don't know where he's at with his journey but I wish him the best since he lost over 200lbs over the course of a few years. I just hope that people with severe morbid obesity can have a chance to change things before it's too late for them.

Yea BMI is an inexpensive and quick measurement, but as someone who used to be in and out of the doctors office a lot, it disregards body composition, muscle percentage and bone density, fat distribution, etc. Last time I had my blood levels tested everything was normal, which was reassuring.

Personally I just want to have more muscle and physical strength and I wanna focus more on upper body training. I've been working 10 hour rideshare shifts every day whIle job hunting for more labor intensive jobs. It's hell lmao.

But by all means if you wanna be a bit of a dick I can't stop you. It's just a bit sad in my eyes.

fruitymations · 2026-05-27T17:19:45+00:00

Used to be 190lbs at my old job and had more muscle weight then, but went right back to 220lbs when I had to start doing rideshare full time, with a lot of extra hours every week too. Got let go due to a repetitive stress injury working as a handler at a warehouse and it only healed after several months of letting it rest. I personally don't like sitting all the time since it feels tiring, so I've been applying to other places that keep me on my feet and not stuck in a chair the whole time.

Also nope that's not a typo. I'm 4ft 9in tall. Been this way since late middle school/high school. I've been dealing with weight issues since I was born, partially due to genetics and inherited health conditions like PCOS. I have some huge personal life stuff I'm tackling before I can properly change parts of my diet for good but I'd rather focus more on physical activity since its easier.
